This is part of the Toussaint Wildlife Area in NW Ohio. After a weeks worth of 50° and 60° weather, I think the the snow and ice are gone.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

Nice shot, and special framing . It's nice to see more water than ice ... a sure sigh that the coming of spring is getting serious.

Great composition, Jim. The thaw looks really underway there. Is it just me, or does that log in the foreground look like a Komodo Dragon?
