That first koi was soon joined by many others. In addition to the koi, there were also some turtles and little ducklings who swam around hoping I'd feed them. It was a little alarming how many came so quickly!

Group of koi at the Seattle Japanese Garden

Koi fish in the lake at the Japanese Garden of the Washington Arboretum. This photo was taken on July 11, 2007 from the bridge across the lake. I stood at the bridge and watched as first one koi, then another, then another, and another came until it looked like all of the koi in the lake were swimming below me. They were joined by small turtles and little ducklings.
