The ice is thawing on Mousam Lake in Emery Mills.  The reflection of the pines on the open water is a beautiful contrast to the melting sheet of ice still rimming the shore.

At low tide the plates of ice on the edge of the river break up and lie scattered on top of the mud. When the tide rises the water travels back up the creeks and the ice floats in like pieces of a puzzle.

When we  were out scouting for painting locations with open water one afternoon we drove into the sleepy little town of Milton Mills. It is on the border of Maine and New Hampshire.  A small rushing river and a mill pond are what is left of industry there. The river is the border between the two states.

From  the shore of Durham Point, New Hampshire Great Bay stretches out and wraps around you. The narrow bays stay ice locked longer than the large open areas where the ice cakes float by silently in the tides that barely create a ripple as they go in and out.

You know spring is just around the corner when the ice breaks up on Great Bay. All these little icebergs bob around then float out to sea on the tide.
