not too warm

West Sac across from Old Sac
not too warm, breezy, clear skies

Lazy summer afternoon on the Sacramento River, speed boats have to slow down along the riverfront. Birds chatter in the trees, a train horn sounds, a fish jumps in the water below.

Back on the east side of the river -
Old Sac Riverfront

California Steamers building
Dock wiggles around from boats going along the river, make for a motion-soft image

Wandering around Old Sac looking for something I like - the Pony Express Rider statue draws my eye with the sycamore trees around him

but I actually like him better from behind, looking out toward the street -

The sun lights one of the sycamores nicely - creates a flare on my shot -

it's cool in the shade of the sycamores, a welcome respite from the summer sun...
