BugEric - Ya, water scorpion it is. Thanks!
This is actually just one scorpion - the shadow makes it appear as two.
Yes, we also saw the burros...they didn't take well to being ignored and made a point to introduce themselves to us.
I initially thought robin...it would make sense. The white specks may have been scratches from the sand and pebbles near the river bottom.
The leaves look like Coreopsis - perhaps one of the many horticultural varieties. Nice shot of the wide open flowers.
Perhaps a member of Dryopteris (Wood Ferns)?
Achillea "moonshine" is a commonly used bright yellow yarrow with silvery foilage and a very upright habit.
