Spring is starting to make an appearance all around our pond. The lily pads are abundant and almost need trimmed back already. I captured the first lily popping up yesterday, and today it was opened up when I got home.
This little guy is named Goldie. You can probably figure out how I came up with that name.
This is currently our largest koi..and I actually don’t have a name for this one…just call him big guy.
This one we call Zinger….Lemon Zinger. He has gotten so big over winter and is getting more silver every year!
We are hoping to get a few more colorful koi this year to add to our pond. It is so relaxing to watch them swim around. Now we want to put a small pond out back so we can sit on the patio and enjoy them all Spring and Summer long!

Goldie is just popping up to say "HI!" LOL!
Mrs. Cline says
Great shots! And that sounds super relaxing after a long day. I'm so jealous.
Together We Save says
So jealous… I would love to have a fish pond but I am afraid my neighbors cats would love it more.
Stillmary says
Mendie, I'm so happy to finally meet some of your koi. Either they are very photogenic or you're a great koi photographer. And I'm green with envy when I see your beautiful lilies and think of my dry pond that I'm not getting anywhere on. Anyway, great job, great shots!
Furry Bottoms says
Those are incredible pictures, Mendi! One of the fish in the second picture looks transparent… only the mouth gave him away!
Bec says
That 3rd shot- oh my! It is attack of the fish! Neat!
Ace says
That would be so much fun to have something like that!

I love the koi! A pond in our yard would be fun, but with our hills, it's not feasible. 🙁 Your pictures are great!
Syl says

We still have snow on the ground, this girl is getting grumpy 🙂
