A walk on the sandy beach
This photo essay is part of a series. Here’s the first one.

Sandy Beach is a Solano County park, a well-kept place which really does adjoin a sandy beach, albeit one associated with the river and the Delta. The morning after we settled in, I wandered down to the river and discovered this for myself, spending a peaceful while making footprints in the sand.
In the distance, the first of a series of bamboo groves juts up improbably against the embankment.
I found my way down on a well-worn path.
I was definitely not the first one to pass this way!
Looking back, the boat launch was not launching. This seemed to be fairly common in the area: I don’t know if it was a seasonal thing, or just that the water levels were unusually low.
The bamboo clumps had paths through them, seeming to create a series of secluded “secret gardens.”
In many places, dead trees and drift wood lay undisturbed, bleaching in the sun.
Pretty cool! Sounds like one of the nice hidden corners of Solano County…
Yeah, it’s a nice place to go.
