On a recent trip up to Sacramento, I took a trip through the Delta. Arriving shortly after lunch time, the weather was mild and quite lovely. The orchards and vineyards will still in winter mode – brown and barren so I did not bother to take farm pictures this time.
The Delta still had fall colors on in some places …
I decided to tour places in the Delta that I hadn’t really been to before, so I went to Isleton. ( Love the name of the bait shop, by the way … )
Isleton is a pretty little town, but not a lot of economic activity and many empty shops. Perhaps it fills up more in the summertime – at least I hope so.
Isleton’s historic district …
Here’s a picture from the public dock at Isleton.
And just down the way, the historic town of Locke.
Locke has a rich Chinese history, which is well represented by the shops in the historic section of town.
I love the bridges in the Delta. This one looks freshly painted.
This is on Grand Island, across from the historic Ryde Hotel.
Delta road …
Random Delta shots …
The sun was getting low and it was time to be getting into town, but here’s one last shot of a beautiful gnarly tree …
So long from the Delta … !
