January thaw.

The ice fishers aren't too happy.

[Helene]

... but 365 friends are happy and grateful with this picture!

[Gerry]

very nice Photo Magaret it shows what Winter is all about

[Mike]

The branches can breath too!

[Diana Moss]

A fantastic photograph, it makes me feel cold just looking at it

[Pam]

We have the same title today lol. I am sure the ice fishers aren't very happy. I can't believe how fast it all went away. Maybe spring is around the corner?

[Claire]

Really emphasizes the cold

[Pyrrhula]

We don`t do ice fishing, we skate. ( and for that it`s also pity )
But for the pic it`s beautiful

[Glendq]

oh, that looks fine to me.
i am ready for spring now.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

Beautiful reflections Maggie, wonderful shot.

[Kaz]

Such a foreign landscape to me! Thanks Maggie for sharing your part of the world :-)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Definitely looks like it is thawing. Cool capture. Our snow has melted here.

[Margaret Tryon]

@pammerritt LOL...Pam I noticed that.

[Margaret Tryon]

@glendq I was enjoying the snow. Not the driving part...but I love the beauty of it and get right out and play. :-)

[Margaret Tryon]

@pyrrhula I really love ice skating, but haven't been for years. I live around so much water that I should just do it. :-)

[Margaret Tryon]

@caddick :-)

[Robin]

Goodness, already? We're still boiling away in a heatwave down here.

[Charlene Barker]

January heatwave should be ending in another week. About time too, as I want real Winter, and snow

[K J Buehl]

Terrific shot to show the thaw! Get ready, the thaw is about over and snow is on the way! Like the water, snow, and reflection!

[Rick Schies]

Oh boy, the water has come through, a bad year for ice fishing, at least now. Somehow I think they will have another chance.

[Tara]

Cool shot Margaret -if you glance at it, the snow looks like the shape of a shark about to take a bite of the branches sticking up. Cold - brrrr!

[Kerri]

Cool shot

[Mike glasson]

Great shot yet again.

[stephanie dp]

wonderful reflections!

[Kathryn Marshall]

Great composition. Pretty! It is time for the ice fishers to come ashore.

[Kass]
