Visiting the Koi Pond at Selby Gardens
The statues in this garden pond follow an Asian theme, perhaps reflecting that we sometimes use Japanese carp interchangeably with koi or perhaps conveying that we may find tranquility in this place.
If you cannot visit the koi pond at Selby Gardens, I hope that my photographs and video transport you partway there.
