Not bad value for £50 each (£60 for the hi utsuri). Although, when you factor in the cost of food and heating over the past 15 month their true cost would probably be over £150 each. Still a bargain when you consider what koi of this size and quality would cost to buy now.

One time of the year that most photographers look forward to is Autumn. I like visiting Bodnant Gardens to see the stunning Acer collection of Japanese Maples in their full autumn colours. If you time your visit just right then you can get stunning displays like the picture below.
