I know you love the water Terri – you feature some beautiful scenes near or on water.
I know!
But there is such a beauty and different feel to a wordless Wednesday or silent Sunday post! They have value – but sure would be boring if that was all there was – 😉
So beautiful! I love your pictures of the delta! We’ve passed through Sacramento many times, including on our recent road trip to Southern California, but I admit I don’t know where this area is! Someday I’ll have to seek it out! 🙂
Thank you Susanne! I lived in Sacramento for almost 30 years until my out-of-town boyfriend introduced me to it. If you look for Rio Vista on the map, you will see the entire Sacramento River delta. Sherman Island at the confluence of the Sac and San Joaquin Rivers just south of Rio Vista and north of Antioch. It’s a fragile levee system and the State and other government agencies could easily eliminate the wind sports and recreation to preserve it.
Thanks so much for the information! Your pictures of the area have always intrigued me; I will definitely look for the delta the next time we pass through! 🙂
I should say ‘I hope you have a great trip’, Terri. I hope you’ve had a great time while your brother and his partner visited.
‘Blasts from the past’ are always good to look at again, especially when they show a place we love so much.
Hi Hugh, I just took a short break while my brother and partner were here visiting Washington. Those pics are blasts from the past! But we are taking a long road trip south which includes the delta later this month. June is a great time for wind, so Hans should have a blast!

Mustard flowers are interesting. A week–this one too?–which allows it to readily share its beauty.

We did, Hugh! They loved Spokane area and we even took a drive to Idaho and just over the Montana border, all in one day! More on that later!

Is it that time of year again? I can only imagine that the delta will be very busy for the next three months.
I hope you had a great trip, Terri.
