Sirens of the Little Manitou Lake (SK)

 

Toward the end of October, a group of us went for the traditional healing retreat to Little Manitou Lake in Saskatchewan, also known as the Dead Sea of Canada (I mean the lake, not the province). The chemical composition of the water seems to be particularly beneficial for the conditions such as arthritis, which also can be described as the "aching of the bones." After a busy and successful season - yes, lot of the bones seem to be aching, at least in my body. 

The water also appears to beautify women! A few sirens we met were quite attractive and radiating with the joy of life!
