Portland fireplug
When I was a kid in New York City, we called them fireplugs. I think that now they are fire hydrants? In any case, I loved the bright colors seen while driving by on a wet, fall day in Portland.
Today is Thursday Challenge, and the theme this week is “Red.” This photo is also a good entry for Color Carnival.
What is this creature?
What planet has it come from?
Such truncated arms!
A red-eyed fish!
Back in 1976 for the Bicentennial Celebration, my mother painted the fire hydrant on the corner of our lot as a Revolutionary War soldier. It was so cute. I will have to ask my parents if they took a photo of it.
Very cheery photo! I am from NYC too but we always called them hydrants, Maybe it was a neighborhood thing?
Well, it’s also true that I spent my first 8 years in Philadelphia, so maybe it comes from there?
Agree!! I love the vibrant colour!
