1554. happy being just another carp

 

a once privileged life
swimming in the pristine pond
now… in the muddy creek 🦊❤️

Every now and again I spot a beautiful and radiant golden Koi swimming in the Wissahickon Creek.  Every time I see it I wonder again about where it came from and how it made its way into the creek. Koi are just a fancy type of Carp. They usually are purchased and live their lives in protected ponds and lakes to add spice to gardens and estates.  It does my heart good to watch it swimming with the “common” Carp in the creek.  My guess is that the Koi is much, much happier being free in the  mainstream of life with the “regular” folks!!! 🦊❤️
