I know dogs are attracted to fire hydrants, but cats? :-D
Actually, I was just trying to get a picture of the kitty. I didn't even notice the hydrant until later. :-)

No, that's not where I was going with this. -:). My friends Ida and Char have been posting shots from Mendocino lately and it reminded me of a trip we took up there nearly three years ago. We were just getting back into photography and I remember Kevin saying "Hey this is a pretty cheap hobby...you just walk around all day and take pictures.". Yeah right. Oh well, it might not be cheap, but it's still a wonderful hobby, and I'd love to get back up to Mendocino soon.
They say a picture speaks a thousand words. I leave this for you to interpret. lol

The city is in the midst of a major water main maintenance pass. This means, among other things, inspecting the fire hydrants and removing those that don't pass. The "parts dump" contains old ones, new ones, and a variety of pipe, connectors, and valves. Great stuff!
