Not happening quite yet. There are braver people than me on the ice. Way out there is an ice fishing hut.

Antigua-West Indies-Caribbean Island
The island of Antigua was explored by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and named for the Church of Santa María La Antigua.[5] Antigua was colonized by Britain in 1632; Barbuda island was first colonised in 1678.[5] Having been part of the Federal Colony of the Leeward Islands from 1871, Antigua and Barbuda joined the West Indies Federation in 1958.[6] With the breakup of the federation, it became one of the West Indies Associated States in 1967.[7] Following self-governance in its internal affairs, independence was granted from the United Kingdom on 1 November 1981. Antigua and Barbuda is a member of the Commonwealth and Elizabeth II is the country's queen and head of state.[8]
The economy of Antigua and Barbuda is particularly dependent on tourism, which accounts for 80% of GDP. Like other island nations, Antigua and Barbuda are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as sea level rise, and increased intensity of extreme weather like hurricanes, which have direct impacts on the island through coastal erosion, water scarcity, and other challenges.[9] As of 2019, Antigua and Barbuda has a 0% individual income tax rate,[10] as does neighboring St. Kitts and Nevis.
... während der TV-Lebenshilfe-Serie: "Hilfe, mein Kind nörpelt".
Heute zu den Fragen:
"Nörpeln, nur eine pubertäre Randerscheinung?
Wie ratsam ist die Nörpelschutzimpfung?"
Verbindlichen Dank dir, lieber Klaus, genannt "Objektkontrast" www.flickr.com/photos/tykle/ ,

A pair of people having an emotionally charged conversation. Taken this winter - only just got around to processing.
Breakups are hard ... but saying goodbye to scenes like this for another year are especially tough ;-)

Looking good in spite of a broken heart with items from Designer Showcase. For more info and links, see my Blog ~ aznanasfandangles.blogspot.com/2018/02/valentines-breakup...
The Tanana River (meaning 'river trail' in Athacascan, and pronounced 'TA-na-naa') east and north of Tok has not quite let go of it's winter ice, though much of the river downstream from here to the Yukon River is running ice free.
As you can see by lots of tracks, this river is an important 'highway' in both summer and winter, for travel both upstream and down, to places not served by a roadway. River travel is regulated by the Dept of Transportation, in much the same way as conventional roads.
Breakup of a vibrant rainbow.

Curves adjustment and more of a square crop.
This is taken right off Front Street in Kotzebue, the sound is breaking up and floating out to sea. It's really quite amazing to witness . . .
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time, walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme. You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me, it's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea, but let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie, your eyes are soft with sorrow.
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye.

Doc and I had several things to do in Glennallen this morning, and marveled at how fast the warm temperatures, and stiff breezes from the south - were melting the snow.
Outside of our local bank, the usual "breakup" lake had formed. It is not only large - but pretty darned deep as well. Each spring, Doc and I refer to it as "Wells Fargo Lake".
Sadly - if the melt keeps up at its current rate - there will be massive flooding along all of our rivers. It is something most rural Alaskans think about and prepare for. You must be ready to leave your property at a moment's notice.
I thought the cracks made an interesting pattern. It was also interesting to see those large plates of surface ice rise and fall as the waves passed invisibly beneath them. The breakup of harbour ice is an indication that winter is finally coming to an end in Toronto. This was taken on the vernal equinox.

A view over Hudson's Bay as the ice is finally breaking up. Cape Merry, Churchill, Manitoba, Canada.
Was outside at the right time last night, in the East South East sky at about 38 Degrees, object breaking up at a 45 Degree angle. Was my first Meteorite breakup, falling apart as it descended to oblivion. Was in the process of taking picture of faint object in sky, Exposure is approx. 1 min 24 seconds prior to release of shutter. Used a Nikkor 55-300 mm lens, set at 100mm @ F/5.6 ratio / taken w/Nikon D3200 Iso 800
Why is it called breakup?
The term 'breakup' in Alaska, which refers to spring, is unique to the region. It stems from the process of ice literally 'breaking up' and snow melting and turning to slush. In winter, rivers freeze into solid sheets of ice, sometimes strong enough to hold vehicles. But when 'breakup' arrives, that ice melts and starts breaking away into pieces. This not only has a literal meaning but also signifies a change in lifestyle for Alaskans. It's time to 'break up' with their favorite winter activities like skiing, snowshoeing, and skating, and embrace new pastimes as the ice and snow melt.
As early as the last week of March, Alaska experiences a weather pattern unlike any other, a blend of winter and summer. However, unlike other states further south, the snow in Alaska doesn't disappear overnight. It takes its time to melt away, making way for new growth. This gradual transition, this unique blend of winter and summer, is what makes 'breakup' a more fitting term to describe this season in Alaska.
