I’m late! I’m late! But not for a very important date–for my blog post on Beth’s Challenge of Bridges. I was caught by a bad cold, and this is the first clear headed day I’ve had in almost a week.
I don’t have to look far for bridges because with two major rivers, the American and Sacramento, there are plenty of bridges to choose from.
The most famous bridge spanning the Sacramento River is the Tower Bridge linking Sacramento to West Sacramento (which is in Yolo County.)

Here’s a view of one bridge framing the I Street bridge.

Now on the American River we have another famous bridge–The Rainbow Bridge near Folsom.

Let’s take a trip to the city of Roseville to see the walking bridge over Linda Creek. It’s a pretty bridge, especially in Autumn.

My last bridge is the Fair Oaks Bridge in the town of Fair Oaks.

There are more bridges, but my energy is leaving. Thanks to Beth for initiating a wonderful week of bridges. I’ll have a more robust post next week when Ann Christine leads the challenge. In the meantime try to stay healthy and be resilient.
Anne, I’m so glad you were feeling well enough to put together this post with your gorgeous bridges. The last two are my favorites. Feel better soon!

Hope you full recover soon, Colds tend to last longer after Covid. Great choices Anne. My favorite is the second one, the view under the bridge

Late? Who’s keeping tabs? Especially when you come up with these gorgeous gallery. You had some unusual angles, and that made the photos even better.

Yes, there are many bridges. I have even more from the Delta, but not feeling well, I wanted to do a minimum. I’m feeling better tonight.

I’m sorry to hear about that nasty cold Anne 🤗 But glad you feel better enough to share these photos. I love the second one in particular, with the framing and the ripples reflected on the underside of the bridge.

That’s a favorite of mine too. I made it to a Toastmaster’s meeting this morning, but was totally drained when I got home. This cold is a bad one.
