Remember a lot of what you see in a day may be of interest to members in other parts of the world,not the empty bottles,though that did bring back memories of unloading glass jam jars before the days of shrink wrap and health and safety
Mike is right. There are many things we take for granted that at times we just don't see in a photographic sense. One Nikonite who immediately comes to mind is wreckdiver1321. He took photos of tires and vehicle engines that were stunning! By making use of selective focus, these ordinary (possibly mundane) objects became works of art. Another example is Michael's photos from Thailand. Their culture is so different than ours that is it quite interesting to see what goes on in their every day lives.
Things around the house can be visually interesting. It's all in the presentation. For example, Jake shot a chess board using some type of off-camera lighting. I think it was wreckdiver1321 who shot photos of padlocks and hinges. Even Marcel posted photos of the inner-workings of a piano. The strings and hammers because an interesting subject--partly because of composition and lighting as well as the aperture used. Why do I remember these photos? Again...it was all in the presentation. All were visually appealing!
You must have some type of vehicle, tools, household items such as spoons-forks-coffee mugs that you can use for subjects. You've simply hit a plateau, and now it's time to start climbing the hill again.
Lately I can't get anything to show up sharp on the forums. I even export from LR with High sharpen for screen at a 1000PX long side. Here is the shot at Flickr. Much better IMO.

During our brutally cold winter last year, I had no desire to go outside and shoot. Out of sheer boredom, I took a box of candy (Dots) and poured them out on my desk and photographed them. I really didn't care much for it, but 4 people had asked for copies, and now they are displayed in their homes. And I still don't care for the photo.....
Link to the picture of the Dots?
It's funny what appeals to people. Like you said, it's a box of spilled out Dots.
Thanks for sharing.

We have Grackles by the hundreds here. They perch all over the power lines and light posts. I have never had a good camera with me to capture a good image.
