At the end of my run as I cooled down a coyote visited me, hopefully to absolve me of whatever trial they’d brought to me. And perhaps to give me a new one. Meeting them felt cathartic.

Walking this afternoon to the bike shop on the Sac State campus to pick up my bike from a tuneup. Saw this very relatable squirrel absolutely enjoying this avocado 🥰

Visited the American River past Old Sacramento after seeing Sinners. Got to watch this sea lion lazing belly up along the American River as a duck and her four ducklings swim past. Then got some macarons and beignets at Le Macaron French Pastries and a dracaena and a croton from Propagate. Good day!

This afternoon I saw the American River’s resident leucistic mallard duck! I first saw her in spring 2022 at Paradise Beach teaching her 9 ducklings how to dive. She was solo this afternoon, resting on the riverbank near the H Street Bridge before I spooked her and went back into the water.
