Down By The Riverside

Dad and I usually observe Superb Owl (an anagram of the Super Bowl) this time of year by checking out the birds at the Cosumnes River Preserve. However, we couldn’t get there due to an old bridge that was washed out by recent heavy rains. The Cosumnes actually floods a lot during the winter because, unlike most California rivers, there are no big dams upstream. It’s one of the reasons why it is such a special place.

As an alternative, we took a nice stroll by the Sacramento River near the iconic Tower Bridge. A beautiful day. February t-shirt weather.

Alas, the 49ers didn’t win, but it was still a great day.
