Firehydrants

I noticed that I haven't posted any pictures in a long time so I thought I would add a few.
Here are some from my fire hydrant collection.
While I was on my mission in Indiana I realized for the first time that fire hydrants aren't always just the typical red, and they aren't all the same shape or size either. So ever since I have been collecting fire hydrant pictures of different sorts and in different places. Honestly I'm surprised I haven't already posted about them.
I have almost 90 pictures from 25 cities or towns in 10 states and Washington DC. And if you think the ones below are a lot, just be lucky I limited myself to 10.

Nauvoo, Illinois. I love how the house and the firehydrant match.

Springfield, Illinois. This was President Lincoln's home. I love the colors.

Bloomington, Indiana. 

Bloomington, Indiana. I just wish the dog had been repainted.

Indianapolis, Indiana. My first fire hydrant.

Zionsville, Indiana. I just love the contrasts.

Zionsville, Indiana. It's kind of cute.

Omaha, Nebraska. 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It's a cool old fire hydrant in a cool old city.

Draper, Utah. I like the perspective on this one.

If I want to read meaning into this odd obsession/quirk/whatever I would say it is about actually seeing the normal things around us and appreciating it. Seeing old things with new eyes. And really in able to still take pictures of them I have to find a reason to do so by matching colors or seeing the fire hydrant in the bigger picture or whatever.... so the next time you see a fire hydrant think of me. . . or at least just notice it.
