The Big Thaw!


I hadn't been to the harbor in two days because of the rain.  Today I went on my walk, carrying my camera, of course and look what I saw!   Water!  So did I call it in yesterday's post? "I am curious as the ice melts, how the harbor waters will be uncovered.  Maybe one day, suddenly most of it will be gone?" And in one or two days, half the harbor is now water instead of ice.  I was lucky that the sun was in and out of clouds and I got this beautiful reflection from the surface of the water.


I took a lot of photographs, of course, trying to show the condition of the ice and the water.  This is further south in the harbor and you can see that half the harbor still has some thin ice covering it.  What a quick transformation!  By the way I saw this swan sailing in from the left and I kept the camera pointed for the best composition, and then clicked the shutter when it arrived at this spot!  PLEASE click on these photograph, they are beautiful seen larger and you will be surprised at all the additional detail you will see.
