Hydrants with hats
You can look at some things a hundred times, and then one day, you look with a slightly different viewpoint, and you might see something else. This is one of those pictures. I must have walked by this fire hydrant literally hundreds of time, and never gave it a second thought. Then, on Monday, I was looking beyond it, letting my eyes fall here and there, working back in towards me, and the picture just jumped out.
Mr. Hydrant. With a blue hat pulled down almost over his wide set eyes, and a whistle in his mouth ready to give the alarm. Solid and dependable, he will be there when he is needed.
