In Among the Teasels


 A fire hydrant is a necessary and therefore immoveable object. This homeowner has chosen to grow her garden around it. Sometimes it's almost invisible, just a splash of yellow among the teasels that glow in the morning light. The hydrant is accessible, but partly camouflaged. In high summer, it seems to be doing its best impression of  Birnam Wood and is, possibly, dreaming of Shakespeare.
