I think this is an ugly fish but I am posting the photo because I feel compelled to use the lame title. This was a huge koi in a koi pond at the Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona del Mar, California.

Like many things in our travels, we found this beautiful spot by accident. We were driving south on the Pacific Coast Highway and came to a bit of a traffic jam. Deb looked over and saw the sign for the garden and amazingly, there was an open parking spot right in front. It was destiny.

And it was the destiny of this ugly yellow decidedly un-coy koi to be photographed by me.
