South of Sunnyside

The grass is greener where the water is turned on

The Sunnyside trail

I’m a creature of habit, but I deviated from my usual bike route to Starbucks this afternoon, heading west at Clovis Ave. on a dirt path until I connected with the canal. An adjacent path winds up through Sunnyside, crossing Butler and angling slightly towards my usual destination.

In all, I probably added half a mile to the trip (and I certainly could use the exercise), but it’s such a beautiful stretch that I’m a bit frustrated with myself for not exploring it sooner. Tall trees separate most of the residences from the path, without the sight or sound of another human for several minutes; that might not sound significant, but the alternative is a busy thoroughfare.

No cars here—just ducks, turtles, a cat, and lots of dog poop.
