new row boat...the "jon boat"

We replaced our little canoe with a new row boat. Why?
Well, the canoe was getting a little worn on the bottom and we felt it wasn't safe enough to paddle up the river with our cameras.
(You know our life is centered around our picture-taking!)
What we bought is called a "jon boat." It's not cute or attractive, but it is sturdy, wide, flat-bottomed and very functional. Perfect for taking photos on the shallow river.
Here are two photos of what we saw on the first, "splash down" cruise:


A swan nest...it was huge! The nest seemed to be guarded by two geese. ???

The neighbors dog....cute little puppy who loves to jump into the water and swim after the ducks. Also...????

Anyway, it was a wonderful, first cruise!
