How is your house selling going? Yup, I agree, it is time for the real spring to show it's face so we can all get out there and take pictures of blossoms. To answer your question about budding trees......just slightly, but it was raining too hard today to get out and take pictures. I keep singing, it isn't raining rain, you know, it's raining violets.....I wish.

Cool, nice simple shot. Did you try having it so you had equal amounts of murky water and pure snow bisecting the image, a sort of ying and yang effect?

I love the feel that the water is pushing away the snow, a great capture Amy, Spring can't be too far away, so hang in there.

That image tells me the meltwater is with you, so goodbye to snow, and an end to winters cabin fever.

Winter is finally giving way to spring here. It was warm but breezy here today and it felt soooo good. Although I thought I heard them use the word "snow" in the upcoming forecast...I hope not! Even though we didn't get much this winter I don't care to have anymore at this late date.

The way you framed the water with the melting snow is excellent.

Great contrast between ice and water! They are the same but not exactly, you know...
I like it!

Well put and an excellent image to convey it. Hang in there, It won't be long now and you too will be thawing out. (Of course with a little help from those Mimosas)
