Get Back to Nature

One of the things I love most about Canada is the wide open spaces. Even in and around Winnipeg, there are so many parks, forests and fields to enjoy. I took full advantage this week during my "Get Back to Nature" September weekly challenge.

I made a point of grabbing the dog and heading out the door with nothing more than sunscreen on my skin, clothes on my back, a few bucks in my pocket (for coffees and twist cones, naturally), and my camera and water bottle in tow. I feel better knowing that, in the waning days of summer, I soaked up the fresh air and warm sunshine as much as possible.

Here are a few photos I took strolling with Slim the dog around Brenda Leipsic Park (a marshy off-leash dog area) and along the Red and Assiniboine Rivers.
