018 (2) - Copy

I took this shot of our vibrantly colored koi shortly before we moved them to a friend’s koi pond. Raccoons were invading our backyard–the whitish one above sustained a gash from a raccoon attack.  Although  we built underwater shelters for them to hide in when under siege, we  thought it best that they spend their golden years in a safer place.

    really very beautiful photo of these wonderful fish. Raccoons are cute but they do a lot of nonsense.

      Thanks. Yes, raccoons are a challenge for the urban dweller.

    Aw, how sad. Raccoons are SO meddlesome – did you mean to have a pun with the “golden years” of the goldfish?!
