The fire hydrants in our town are all getting fresh paint. They used to be dull red, now they are this cheerful yellow and blue.
Our Daily Challenge: DRESS IT UP (I'm not sure if this is what was meant by the challenge, but I think this is dressing up an object that is generally far less attractive.)

a few weeks ago I suddenly noticed how many different kinds of fire hydrants were near my house. they are all so different. and so an obsession with photographing hydrants began.
i have a bunch of pictures already, but they are all waiting to be edited. this isn't the first one i took, but it is the one that will start this very strange (for me!) project.
March photo challenge..day 19..'fire hydrant'
At first I thought I hated some of this challenge cause it was just not possible to make a few of these look at all interesting..then I realized it was my own lack of creativity that I'm hating. I need to start putting some more thought into these things (if I can!). This is an old style fire hydrant system so I thought a little rework and black and white were in order. Wish me luck for the rest of this month! ha!
