Sometimes, you really just want to eat whatever's placed in front of you. Other times, you just want to look at it, amused and delighted by nature's more whimsical side.

Such is the case with this bowl of carambolas, commonly -- and aptly -- known as starfruit. Immortalized by Kitty LaRoux in the Slashfood Flickr pool, they could be used as a centerpiece or placed strategically on a mantelpiece or coffee table. Taste, obviously, is important, but if you caught a bowl of shooting stars, wouldn't you want to just sit back and admire them for a little while, too?

So Fourth of July has come and gone again. Lest you already be feeling nostalgic, here's one last photo to make you feel a bit misty. Grilled and photographed by marilyn819 at Flickr, these fat brats, with their artful tan lines, are for many people the sight and smell of the Fourth, as well as the approximately two remaining months of summer. They're a reminder to go out and buy some sunscreen and lighter fluid, drop a lit match through the grates and wait attentively for dinner to be ready, as yet another summer afternoon disappears into the realm of lightly charred memory.

During the summer, meat gets all of the glory on the grill, but this photo, taken by Another Pint Please... at the Slashfood Flickr pool, makes a convincing case for the boundless charms of grilled corn. Few things match more beautifully with golden kernels and char marks -- slathered, of course, with a generous helping of rapidly melting butter.

Zucchini and corn quesadillas. Otherwise known as summer tucked into a couple of tortillas.

Created and snapped by Flickr's Ezra Pound Cake, they're a buoyant and appetizing reminder that making the most of seasonable vegetables need not be a fancy, expensive or time-consuming affair. Though its components are jewel-hued, the only lavishness to be found here is in the flavors -- where it belongs.

Father's Day, as greeting companies won't fail to remind us repeatedly over the upcoming week, is just around the corner. And these babies look like a perfect way to celebrate. Made and photographed by Bakerella at Flickr (she's also got her own blog), they're burgers and fries prepared without the aid of beef or potatoes. Instead, the burgers are actually an ingenious combination of brownies, cupcakes and frosting, and the fries are sugar cookies. Forget necessity: Daddy, it appears, is the mother of invention.
