Take a look at the colorful fire hydrants I found in a gated community out on Long Island. It's obvious someone has a sense of play and good humor. I thought they were perfect for Ruby Tuesday.
I just love 'em!
It won't be long before we'll be posting for the HOLIDAYS. Right? I don't want to start too soon because then we'll get bored before the holidays actually get here. Of course there'll be an awful lot of stuff to post:
Santa Claus
Wreaths
Gifts and Presents
House Decorations
Holiday outfits
Decorated Christmas Trees
Candles
Menorahs
Dreidels
Kwanzaa decor
Holiday Books
In a couple of weeks it'll be Thanksgiving for U.S. Americans. Feel free to begin posting Thanksgiving decorations if there's some RED to show.

One won't miss those fire hydrants if need be! Fun too that they have colorful hats! Liek the boyscouts!
Happy Red Tuesday!
Shh... Do not let The Tonka Unit see this post! I can't afford to replace my computer right now!
This weeks offering is a little more conventional, but I like it anyway.
Ruby Tuesday #11: I Think I Canna
I like the red hydrants, most of the ones around here are yellow. The red is the more classic color, and tjese are nice!
Ha! When I was a little kid I used to study hydrants when our family travelled by car from town to town. I have NO IDEA why. ;-)
What a colorful fire hydrants reminds me of Bob the builder.hehe
Those are great Mary! I'm always excited for the holidays because I get to spend them with my kids...
Have a great week..
Those are great shots, I here around here you can paint them any color as long as its not camouflage.
Happy RT!
Those hydrants could pass as cartoon characters! What a find!
Very cool hydrants, Mary. I like them painted red.
Happy Ruby Tuesday!
LOL, do they color code their dogs to match? Love this post.
those are awesome!
I love how they all have different colored tops! Do you think it means anything?//
the hydrant looks so cute!:) oooh holidays, that means lots of reds! who knows i may spot Santa this year. hehehe
Colored caps for the hydrants, definitely beats those plain full red ones we normally see.
Happy Ruby Tuesday! :)
I love this series of photos. It looks like they're wearing different-colored hard hats. Great angles too!
You have another award waiting for you here . . .

How 'kewl' to find these red hydrants that seem to be wearing 'hard hats' ;--)
Mine Ruby Tuesday is up at Small Reflections.
Hugs and blessings,
Those fireplugs look great! I wonder who the mad painter is?
There's a little Disney drama brewing over at my place.... °o°

Love the fire hydrants Mary! The first one with the orange top looks like a little guy wearing a hardhat!
Acutally they all remind me of that.
I love how they all have different colored caps! So cool ;0)
I love love fire hydrant pictures. These are great! My Ruby Tuesday pic is http://www.chicagoexpat.com/?p=620
Those are cute they look like a fireman with hats
Great looking fire hydrants! They have so much more personality than our plain old yellow ones.
When we first moved here, all the hydrants had red metal flags on them, up on slender poles about 4 feet tall. Imagine my alarm when the neighbors told me the flags were there so the fire department could find the hydrants under the snow.
Very snazzy hats! :)
brilliant!! loved them!!
Looks like firemen. Happy RT and have a great week!
Try my colourful vege dish:

Mary, I like your red fire hydrants. Ours are orange with green hats. Not good for RRtU.
Mine today? "Bus, de bus, de bus!"
..
How funny, I did a fire hydrant today too. Yours are a lot cuter though. Mine is sort of the ugly uncle who stayed out too late last night and didn't shave.
I love the hydrants! What a nifty idea. think the ones around here are yellow... but I don't actually know for sure.
I actually have flowers in my Ruby Tuesday this week... flowers and creepy stalker-ish shots as well... because, you know.. why not?
:)
Each of those hydrants is great. Good seeing! One of those city opportunities you have. Happy Ruby Tuesday!
I have a comment about the new look of your website. I do like the way it looks, but now the links of the RT posters don't show a different color when they've been visited. Since it's almost impossible to visit everyone, it's really handy to know which ones you've been to lately, in case you forget, and I personally tend to forget a lot. Any chance that feature of a new color for visited links can return?
Thanks for all you do, Sara
they look like little robots!! :)
that last one looks like it's wired to explode
These fire hydrants cause me to smile upon seeing them. Brighten up the streets. :)
My Ruby Red post doesn't show much of red colour but underlines the huge DANGER which is usually in red. :)
I stepped bare-footed on 36 blades and washed in a cauldron of boiling oil. These are Taoist rituals.
Lovely shots! The different caps are gorgeous.
One more comment from me: Don't they all three look like little guys with helmets?
such colorful fire hydrants :)
heres my first entry http://scroochchronicles.com/?p=747
Good idea to paint them in different colors, lol !
Good luck today for the elections !!
I love those, they're cute Mary! What a great idea!
I posted early, but I forgot to sign the mR Linky!! Aaargh!
These are Fabulous Fire Hydrants, haha. They look like they're wearing little hard hats.
I've done a very Peaceful Ruby Tuesday post this week.
my first time to see red hydrants! ;)
mine's up... so LATE but as they say - better late than never! ;)
Love these fire hydrants, the way they have been painted in different colours is great fun! Like you I am looking forward to Christmas (we don't celebrate Thanksgiving over here, although we do have Harvest Festival in September, albeit on a much smaller scale & not a national holiday :-) Although Thanksgiving looks like a lot of fun!
Happy Ruby Tuesday

Just stopping by to wish you well today as we await the vote for hope. I'll be thinking about you tonight as we celebrate for Obama! (I hope)
Dear teach Mary.
The only place in Norway one can find "American" fire hydrant, is my birthplace, Sauda.
The Union Carbide factory was set up in 1920, with a hospital, schools, park, houses for the workers..and these fire hydrants.
They were green with red "hats".
Now you've made me quite nostalgic with your photos. Thanks for lovely memories.
From Felisol
Those are nice - and all shiny and loved... like little tiny fire persons. I hope to get back to Ruby Tuesday and to try my hand at the Sepia post once return to sanity... or as close as I come.
Love your fire hydrants! I voted today, too!
