Toddler toddles along the wall and across the rocks in silverton. #Riel #westkootenay #silverton #nikon

Riel tosses sand while I lie in it. #Riel #nikon #nelson (at Lakeside Park)

Our mallard beach friend mugs for the camera. We couldn't get rid of her. At 19 months old, Riel and her had the same walk. Too funny. #mallard #nikon #Riel #kootenay #nelson (at Lakeside Park)

Our mallard beach friend bites Riel on the toe in its search for food. The mallard. #mallard #Riel #kootenay #nikon (at Lakeside Park)

Another casualty of the Nelson tree trimming program? #nelson #nikon #kootenay #tree (at Uphill)

This guy trimmed his tree while all his fans waited on the edge of his roof. He feeds the pigeons regularly. #nikon #nelson #pigeons

Some cheesy-looking mushroom in the woods. #kootenay #mushroom #slocanvalley #nikon
