The store had a large indoor koi pond\u2014one of the most impressive I\u2019ve seen outside of Asia.<br>When I returned early this morning to pick up our purchase, I paused for a few minutes beside the pond. <br><br>The cleaner had just finished servicing it, and the water was crystal clear. A glass wall framed the koi as they gathered near to greet me.<br><br>Koi are such curious creatures. Their purpose feels a bit ambiguous\u2014somewhere between art and animal. Like a toy poodle, they often seem more ornamental than practical. But maybe that\u2019s the point. Not everything in life needs a clear function to hold meaning. Some things simply exist to be admired.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1948,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":false,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[157],"tags":[863,865,582,860,861,864,862,59],"class_list":["post-1947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dpg","tag-captive","tag-feeding","tag-fish","tag-koi","tag-pond","tag-school","tag-underwater","tag-water","post_format-post-format-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
