naked

Prompt for The Sunday Creative: naked


my first thought ~ oh no!
then...it came to me

I adore this fire hydrant in my neighborhood
I mean "adore" it

I've photographed it on more than one occasion

You can't begin to count the number of coats of paint on it,
or the number of colors used

and yet,
it's silently sitting there,
trying to shed it's many layers

trying hard

to get naked

(P.S. these Sunday Creative prompts sure are interesting!!)

  10. I love the collage of colours, the close ups remind me a little of lychen or moss - but in warm colours instead of greens. Lovely!
