Caesar Pond Ice is starting to thin

It is getting to be that time of year when the pond ice starts looking a bit blue mixed with the frosty white. This signifies that ice-out isn't too far off!

So, I focused my camera on the far north end of the pond where the ice starts to open up before any other area. And, I saw what looked like a thin line of dark coloring.

I zoomed in to the maximum my camera would allow and spied this! Yahoooo! A thin ribbon of open water is starting to form near the boggy end of the pond. Ice-out won't be too long from now;-) Happy, happy, happy...
