Colorful and tame, the koi fish in my small backyard pond are always hungry for a tasty treat. They swim up to the top of the pond and beg for a snack, opening and closing their whiskered mouths while lunging their hopeful faces up out of the water. They always make me smile.

I took this photograph several years ago, offered it for sale last year, and totally forgot about it until someone purchased a canvas print of it earlier this month. It makes me happy to imagine this image of my silly koi hanging up in a collector’s home or business, and I hope it brightens their day and gives them as much joy as my fishies bring into my life.
