    Your photos of the snow and water are very beautiful - especially the first one. It looks cold but great by contrast with temps we are still getting out here. I am just back from a walk with my dog - and wiping the perspiration off my face as it drips down!!

    Beautiful post. The in-between of Winter/Spring is so fickle. You captured it. We had 5+" of snow yesterday, rain storms due tonight, and 56* expected tomorrow.

    Oh boy - those ice melting shots are amazing! The pond near me is still frozen - just the little streams flowing into it are melting. I think {fingers crossed} that after this weekend we'll have turned the corner!

    Brrr is right. We're slated for a high of 84 today. It's supposed to hit 91 on Thursday and Friday.
    I shiver just looking at your pictures. Still, we're having a drought here in California of epic proportions. Everything has it drawbacks.

    It does look so cold where you are! I am always cold these days. My feet are cold as I type and I am wearing socks! We had a brief snow storm this morning and the sun is now shining bright. I am not a good cold weather person. I love the Springtime, I love the Autumn and I love your haiku! Happy wishes are being sent to you two! Thank you for sharing.

    I love that sweet dog. :)

    The beach looks very cold but the melting ice looks very cool in b&w. The coloured pic of the ice has very pretty colours. I find seeing the slow change of your seasons interesting.
