It’s a beautiful day here in Connecticut and the call of the wren by his nest and the rush of the water over the falls into our pond drew me outside. I found that the fish were having a good time playing tag, so I brought the camera out and tried to capture them. They were swimming so fast that it was not an easy task, but I eventually caught all five of them in one shot and mostly in focus. Thank goodness for digital photography where you can just delete the bad and out-of-focus pictures. I’m not positive about the identification, but I think from left to right they are — Hoover, Half and Half, Lady, Hot Lips (white one in front), and Junior.
And as I was trying to catch the fish near the surface I accidentally took a beautiful picture of the blooming water hyacinths. The reflection of the lavender flowers in the dark water is almost prettier than the flowers themselves. One of the fish just disappears into the ripples from the waterfall on the left.
Yes — it’s a beautiful day to be out here with all this.
