Koi Quartet Stuns Musical World! by taffy

Koi Quartet Stuns Musical World!

I was fascinated by the koi fish in friend/colleague/mentor David's pond. Last night's feeding took me by total surprise, but this morning, I was ready for photo ops with these amazing fish. I just loved how these four looked like they were singing for their breakfast, mouths wide open, all four hanging together in their quartet. And this week's theme is four -- what more could I hope for?
My 'regular' album has the more serious shot of the day...another b&w which I'm quite enjoying learning about: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-09-16

@dtigani Thanks for the fav, David! Still trying to come up with a good perspective shot. Was going to try to do one with the moon tonite, but it was behind clouds by the time we'd finished dinner.

@twr Of course they were singing opera! You caught it because of how wide their mouths were!
