This is such a special time of year to me when the first spring greens start to return - they bring some cheer to the world. A miracle of Mother Nature it is :) I captured this image with my iPhone while on a walk with my dog, Emmy.

Long Lake, Yellowknife NWT, Canada. Early spring May 4, 2022. As the ice on the lake begins to melt it turns dark in colour, indicating that it is getting ready to give way for the summer. During the winter months the ice depth can be as much as a yard and a half (4 meters) thick. You can actually drive a car over it during mid winter. Now as it begins to melt the depth of the ice become uneven, and not safe for travelling across. During the winter months, ice roads for a major part of our road infrastructure.
