Very early spring in Alaska this year - and after a few more inches of snow on Monday, and a rapid melt - some places have mighty big puddles.
It's nice, occasionally, to have some liquid water to absorb some of the Aurora's jade rays ... Courtesy of a week of very warm days, and the swift current of the Takhini River ... This is the first time I've had that since about six months ago.
Breakups are hard ... but saying goodbye to scenes like this for another year are especially tough ;-)

تجي نخسر بعض مرّه ونكسر حاجز التهديد؟
ولاتسمع (بتخسرني )
ولا أسمع (خسرتيني )...
أفك القيد من إيــدك ومن إيـدي تفك القيـد
تحرّر مابقى منك..
وأحرر [ مابقـى ] فيني

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

Captured in mid-March, the frozen ice shards form on the Milwaukee River along the Historic Third Ward. This is the a winter breakup before the spring takes over. The cooped up energy of Milwaukee really appears.
Please, come follow me:
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.

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.
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.
The ice is beginning to breakup along the lake shores. This was a nice sunny day, and the sounds were incredible as thousands of pieces of ice cracked away.
Thanks for looking.

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.
