Milling about on the dock beforehand while I get a charged battery from the house.
Searching the rushes where the swans were purported to hide.
We spot the first swan.
After some swan sightings, we head back into the main part of the river.

Passing the public dock on the Medford side, the other canoe mugs for the camera.
We saw two more swans (or maybe the same two as before?) further west and they were very active -- lots of wing flapping.
Still flapping

Last week they were all buds; this week they were all in bloom.
Artsy water lily picture.
Wider view of all the lily pads, showing the clouds, but very little trash.
Approaching the little marina in Medford.

Lily pads in the sunshine.
The lead canoe pauses to wait for the lolly-gaggers.
There's no place I can be, since I found Serenity.
We saw several turtles, but I only caught one on film.

I think this is for drainage, but most are not so pretty.
The buildings are right on the water.
There's a pretty foot bridge over the river in Medford center.
The footbridge up close.

Past the center, we found some houses right on the water.
Did I mention that they were all in bloom?
