"Long-legged" Hydrant

             We pass this Mueller hydrant on a regular basis.
             It sits across from the entrance there to Prairie Park at the corner of 28th Terrace and Harper.
             It is a nice relationship between the tree, the pickup in the parking, and the hydrant sticking too high out of the ground giving extra sense of depth to everything. The hydrant is the oldest thing in the drawing if you think about it, except maybe for the dirt it sticks out'a.
            This  is one long-legged hydrant. That one drawing yesterday was a hydrant with a grand-daddy long legs.
            This drawing, maybe the more creative of this set, was done before any of the others. It is the one that inspired me to do some hydrant studies.
            This drawing still has a bit of pencil underneath, though not much of it shows now. Done in the 9 x12 inch pad I sometimes carry to the park .
