Acting Koi

There was nothing as relaxing as sitting beside the koi pond at the New York Botanical Garden this weekend. Luckily we had our camera in-hand, clicking as the koi cut the surface--their colors brilliant against the inky water. No one has ever captured this as well as artist Joseph Raffael, whose lithographs we've included below.
