Koi #WordlessWednesday

The nursing home where my mother in law spent her last months had a koi pond.  The three of us (spouse, me, and mother in law) sometimes sat in the summer and watched the fish.

My spouse had an appointment in the area yesterday so I walked over and spent a few minutes with the fish.

I don't remember this explanatory sign posted in three places by the pond.  It reads, in part, "Koi fish become sluggish in cold water because their muscles and organs slow down.  They may float or rest at the pond bottom for long periods without much movement..."  I apologize for not having a better picture of the sign.

It was near 50F (10C) when I was there and the fish were moving.  Perhaps visitors were thinking, in the near freezing temperatures the last few mornings, that the fish were dying and were trying to "help" them.

It's so peaceful watching these fish.
