Tranquil moments by the koi pond, nestled within the lush foliage of The Ruth Bancroft Garden. Full Description: On a serene January afternoon in 2025, I captured this peaceful scene at The Ruth Bancroft Garden in Walnut Creek, California. The delicate balance of nature is beautifully illustrated with koi gracefully gliding through the crystal-clear pond, creating gentle ripples in their path. Surrounded by vibrant vegetation and towering trees, the garden offers a lush oasis of tranquility. The sky casts its reflection on the water, blending the boundaries between earth and sky. This snapshot from the January Randoms album invites you to experience the harmonious interplay of life, water, and light in an enchanting natural environment.
