Coming home from Lodi today, we took a drive through a part of the Delta I hadn’t seen since my teenage years, when I was dragged unwillingly along as my father piloted our cabin cruiser through the waterways. It is a much more interesting place when seen through adult eyes. We walked through the tiny town of Isleton, which I thought I would remember more vividly than I do. As I stopped to take a photo of this prickly pear, two other women photographers descended upon it at the same time, and we all three snapped companionably for a few minutes. Funny.
These wind turbines were definitely not part of the Rio Vista landscape when I was a teenager.

This is so funny……….John and I went over to Manteca on Sunday to a Sports store and came back through Isleton and no the turbans weren’t there when we were growing up but at least most of them were spinning this time. They were really going fast over the Altim ont Pass tooooo….. I just don’t remember who gets the electricity from all of them ??? !!!!!
This shot of the Prickly Pear is nice. I love your composition…the ladder included…the little background about your childhood…all nice!
