Time has been transformed, and we have changed; it has advanced and set us in motion; it has unveiled its face, inspiring us with bewilderment and exhilaration. – Khalil Gibran
Visiting places away from home always gives me opportunity to spot new mystery “what is it?!?” picture subjects. And it’s always fun discovering new things, right? I found this one in Apalachicola, Florida. Do you know? Can you tell?
What Is It?!?
What Was That?!? Yesterday’s Picture (Day 236)
Was it a fir-cone? Not a fir-cone. How about old corn on the cob? Not that either. Was it an old sponge to wash dishes? Not an old sponge. So what was it?
What you saw was a piece of carved wood, this was part of the head of a carved standing pelican.

And you would be correct, it is made of metal! And I’ll even give a clue: it’s located outside. 🙂

Really? I had no idea … we rarely see any of the old red ones around here, they’re all painted yellow these days. When I was a kid, you could paint them all different colors, it was a neighborhood type of event.

Ha! I even take photos of them when I’m in the USA or Canada 🙂

I learn something new everyday. So my hubby and I are curious: what do you have in the UK for fire fighting?

I’m assuming you are referring to fire hydrants on the streets? We don’t have those, I guess the fire engines plug into the mains pipes that are underground. We do have fire extinguishers inside public buildings and for private use (home/car) which are usually red (contain water) or blue (contain dry powder) though there are other colours and types.
