Graceful Fins

These are my two oldest

Goldfish that live in my art room.

I have had them for over 5 yrs.

The  tank sits in front of where I sit

and make my art so I can look at it them.

The fish are quite aware of me when I come 

in the room.  They stare at me through the

glass most likely willing me to come over 

and feed them some flakes.

I just find their fins so beautiful.

Bubba is my largest fish.

He was a baby of the feeder fish

I bought for our pond.  The others sadly met

an end at the cost of a blue heron that landed in our

yard.  So he now lives in my tank.  Even though I have

bought protectors that float on the edges of the

pond to deter herons I can't bring myself to put him out

in the pond in the summer.   I just don't want him to

meet the same fate.

I love watching them.  It's so relaxing and peaceful.

I took these photo's on a sunny day.

I found the way the sun lit up

their fins so beautiful.  

Have a wonderful weekend!
