Break-up 2010

What an odd end to winter we've had!  Warm weather arrived in the first few days of the month, and stayed for nearly 3 weeks.  It didn't take long for the snow to melt away, and soon the ice began to melt.
 
This has never happened in March before.  Actually it doesn't get that warm for that long even in April.  So we've been watching very closely this year.  The melt is different than I've ever seen before, but ever so beautiful.
 
This close-up of the ice surface on March 22nd shows the clarity, and the beginnings of melt lines.
