After living in Winnipeg (where I was born – many years ago) I am happy that I moved to B.C last year. Many of the winter days in Winnipeg are sunny – which is great for photographs. The main problem with that is that it is also bitterly cold and often with with nasty winds.… Continue reading Walking on a Cloudy (but warm) morning

It was time for a new place to walk and explore. I knew that near the Bridal Falls, there was also a provincial park that I had been at a few years ago when I was visiting my daughter.

As if it isn’t far enough to go from Winnipeg to Vancouver, I decided to take a detour on day 1 and go to Riding Mountain National Park.
