What sounds more like a bad hangover is by far one oof the most magical places in our province of Manitoba. In Spruce Woods Provincial Park there are the Spirit Sands – a dessert both by looks with all the sand dunes left by the receding glaciers of ages gone, but also in terms of […]

These are a few images that I took when we were able to break of initial lock down of Covid and went out to Assiniboine Park. It was the first time I saw the public messaging about keeping social distancing and it hit a chord with me. -KMSB
