Sunbathing Fish


It was a coolish fall day but the sun was strong when I happened upon these goldfish in one of the ponds at James Gardens.  The fish were totally still in the water and seemed to be enjoying the warmth of the sun on their backs.

    Stormy weather in my area today. And chilly, 7C. Goldfish looks content enough.

    Calming to watch these fish swim slowly around their pond. Their colors are compelling.

    I bet they were soaking up the heat from the sun. Perfect time for taking photos of them.
