Not the full pond, but here's a pic when my 'kids' were all following me around and lining up nicely. I got a kick out of it! Only one missing is Eleanor, the Ochiba. She is in QT recovering from a touch of fin rot.

Beautiful fish, @C-Note. The colors are wonderful.

Much needed rain! Other than last week's storm, we've been really dry. Even that storm didn't give us nearly enough rain. Luckily we've seen a few good downpours in WI today.

I love the all white/silver one. I have one that color that is one of my favorites but he is still young and only about 5 or 6 inches long

Thanks @Marshall . That's "Whitey," our Kikokuryu. He's grown a LOT this summer!!

Mine is more of a silver color and he is a butterfly koi but I'm not sure if he is any sub-type other than just butterfly koi.

Any pics of him, @Marshall ??

I have not gotten any good images of him yet but he does show up briefly in the underwater video I posted in another thread. They are really hard to get images of cause he is still so small but soon as I get a good shot I will post it

Love those froggy shots, JB.

Twelve blooms at once today! I just wish they lasted longer than a few days. Hyacinth beauty is fleeting...

Haven't been posting pics of my ponds but got a few shots on my phone today so---- Both ponds are filling up with water lettuce and it seems the koi don't like it. Finally a plant they won't eat! Last 2 pics are of one of the koi that had fin and tail rot this spring. The tail was completely gone on this fish but most has regrown and she is doing fine.
