Todays Prompt:Go to the nearest window. Look out for a full minute. Write about what you saw.
On the back part of my house I have a large glass sliding door/window which leads directly to a fish pond. It is perfectly situated and I often just go and sit there and watch the fish. The fish pond only has Koi fish and I tried so hard to show you some pics on the size of these Koi. They have grown really large. They’ve been in this fish pond of approximately 5 years now.
As I said the Koi are coy. Normally they would come to the top when I give them food, but maybe my cell phone was flickering or something because they kept swimming away when I tried to take the pic..
A beauty! We have minnows by comparison.
I wonder if there are any Koi San with coy kois?
I doubt that Col
He is a beaut though, wish I could have managed a pic of the others
*hugs*
I don’t like fish in a pond or aquarium. All that mindless swimming in circles.
He’s a big one, though.
There are a few of them that are quite huge, the pond is huge and quite natural too.
*hugs*
Love it – “the coy Koi.” Clever girl.
Thanks doran
*hugs*
oh that would be so relaxing to watch them
It is actually terry. What is nice about watching them is the big space they can swim around in
*hugs*
WHat a marvellous view to have from your home. I can see the size of that koi.. wow! Hugs Hope* and much love xxx
It was a lovely view Dinxie and the smell is fresh and watery too
*hugs and love*

Oh, I love koi! You are so lucky! One day I hope to have a pond. [Sigh.]. They can get to about a foot and a half, can’t they? Gorgeous fish.
I’m not too sure how long they actually do get, I must check up on that. Thanks J.
*hugs*
They can be impressive, I do know that much. Shubunkins and Comets can get pretty big too if they are given enough space, but they are not as massive. When I was a kid, there was a fish hatchery not too far from here. Every summer, when the fish were mostly gone from their hatchery ponds, they would flush the ponds into the local creek and clean/refill them. My friend lived on a farm that backed up to that creek. Twice there were droughts that caused the creek to dry up and we netted dozens upon dozens of ornamental fish … plain goldfish, fantails, shubunkins, black moors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Moor), calicoes, you name it. We also got a few koi. I absolutely adore fish – but have a soft spot in my heart for the ornamental goldfish and koi.
Nice and big and good colouring too…
There are a few of them, Bulldog. I was lucky to manage to get a shot of this one
*hugs*
I love watching Koi – they are so graceful – and greedy!
That they are
*hugs*
How nice to have such a relaxing ficture right outside your back door. I imagine it is great for calming, for inspiration, and all sorts of other things. You probably have koi larger than my backyard…
It is lovely to have dj
*hugs*
He’s really huge, Hopestar. I think you must feed him less, or soon the pond will be too small for him. Hugs
LOL ad, I’ll put him on a diet
*hugs*
It’s so peaceful watching fish, I could do it for a very long time
*hugs*
I wish there was a “Love” button for some of these posts. I clicked “Like” but it goes far beyound that. This made me remember when I had a small fish pond in my garden area. I used to love sitting out there on a wooden bench I made and just get the feeling of oneness while watching the fish and listening to the waterfall.
Thank you for this.
Glad it brought back a good memory J Love the idea of the “love” button
*hugs*
“Jim” is better than “J”, Happy
Thank you Jim

Nice play on words, there, Clever Woman!
Thanks Lorna
*hugs*
Perhaps, there is just something “fishy” about the situation.
(Sorry, sometimes, the weird sense of humor just wins out)

Hehehe, wish I had of thought of that when I wrote the post
*hugs*
How amazing it is to have a backyard that leads to the pond.. And that’s quite a coy fish I can see!
It is really nice to have the pond there, muZer
*hugs*
A few blocks from my apartment is a sushi place that has a tiny koi pond out front. One day I passed by it and found it empty, so either the restaurant ran out of stock or some homeless person walked by and saw a free meal. . .
Wonder what happened to them then. Hope the restaurant didn’t cook them.
*hugs*
humongus!
He is
*hugs*
That is a big fish – should be good eating
Don’t worry, I know exactly how much that scaly creature is worth – a beautiful fish Esperanza
I could not hope to have fish that size in my eventual frog pond – I’ll settle for a goldfish or 6
He is huge, ghiatjie. I never imagined that they would grow this big when they were first put in the pond.
*hugs*
Somebody told me that the deeper the pond the bigger they get – have no idea how true that is
I think there is truth in that.
Oh the Koi is lovely… they have the awesomest colours that just cheer you up! Have a good day Hope.
