I was with my youngest son at the Japanese Gardens at Brackenridge Park in San Antonio, Texas,when this large golden koi swam toward me. It stopped when it was out of the glare so I could see it real well. It stayed motionless for awhile as if begging for me to take its picture. After I did, it turned and swam away back into the glare. Of course, I had to paint him.
