I keep saying that "You can find heraldry everywhere!" And it's true, as I have demonstrated many times in this blog.
Well, I ran across (fortunately, not into) just the other day, on my way to a doctor's appointment.
Now, I know it's not really "heraldry" as we usually define it, but it is at least "heraldry-adjacent", consisting as it does of a fancy letter placed within a shield shape.
As you can easily see, it is not only something akin to heraldry, but also that I could hardly have missed seeing it if I had tried to! I mean, given that it was right in front of me!
Fortunately, the red light was long enough at this location that I was able to get out my phone and get a good photograph of it before the light turned green and I had to pay attention to my driving instead.
So I urge you to keep your eyes open as you go about your daily business, because if you do, you too will occasionally find yourself near (or as in this case, right behind!) a coat of arms or a heraldry-like logo.
And I say this as someone who lives in a country and a state where heraldry really isn't that big a thing. But even residing as I do in a place that might be considered an heraldic wasteland, there are still shields to be seen, and if the opportunity is right, photographed!
