No Need to be Koi

AE7I8884.jpgDuring our walk around the Chicago Botanic Gardens, we walked across a couple of the bridges over the lakes.  The lakes are home to a variety of wildlife including plenty of koi carp.  I guess they are pretty smart fish as the appearance of a few people seems to attract them rapidly.  I guess they get fed enough times to learn.  So much for fish having short memories.
