This is Mouse Island, just off the Northern tip of Catawba Point, North Coast Ohio. This was taken today, and you can see the ice on Lake Erie is melting fast. It was only two weeks ago that I was walking on the lake.

It must be something to see these dramatic changes in the season. Our seasons seem to just slide from one to the next.

You'll be posting photos of water in no time, Jimbob. Good photo of the melting ice.

This looks even colder than full icy condition Jimbob. Soon ships will be plying about and the lakes will be open to the Atlantic. Nice capture!

JB..this is a very similar image and viewpoint to one I have...only mine is all water and not ice!...same kind of island too...

Great icy landscape feature......I think folks could condition themselves on this before heading off to the South Pole!......☺

I see that fast thaw which is what have experienced as well. Don't know that I've seen the melt quite as fast as this year. another fine capture and by Friday it really will be spring.

A lovely scene and glad to see the ice melting and spring on the way JimBob. You'll have to swim now - no more walking on water.

Must be Mortimer's Magic Kingdom and not his cousin's famous place to the south. Another great shot of the thawing lake, Jimbob.

In full it looks like there are Snowmobile tracks heading out towards the island plus birds swimming in the open water. Loving this series and the different colours of blue are gorgeous - downloaded
