This is a sign that we are glad to see, not spring, but a hope of it. Areas of open water in places where there is a nice current in the water. The first one is from the end of rapids, as the water enters the lake. The second is from a river.

Lovely winter photographs, my dear friend Ritva ~ and, spring soon 😊🌹
One hopes, as it is once again snowing. But it comes eventually, every year 🙂
So incredibly beautiful. I could easily see these hanging in a gallery.
wow, thanks so much, that is a real compliment on my photos.
The blues are amazing. Peace.
Thanks, they were gorgeous 🙏🏻
They’re both beautiful and melting ice does mean spring is on the way, hopefully sooner rather than later for you.

I am sure it will come April is couple weeks away. I just get anxious, hoping for it to be sooner.
