Amazing Free Show!
(DETM April 2023 Newsletter)
Greetings!
About a week and a half ago, much of Canada was treated to an amazing Northern Lights show, for several nights.
 
A bucket list item of mine was to see the Northern Lights. On March 23, my brother-in-law, Kelly, took us out to see a spectacular show ouside of Kamloops, BC.(Instagram: @icecoastphotography)
