cool blue spring water

I was admiring the bright blue of the water in the photos of the next post. The early spring sky is reflected in the water. Its a clear deep blue, in the cold crisp air, with no leaves to filter. Skippy is enjoying it. Frost described it perfectly:

Spring Pools
by Robert Frost

These pools that, though in forests, still reflect
The total sky almost without defect,
And like the flowers beside them, chill and shiver,
Will like the flowers beside them soon be gone,
And yet not out by any brook or river,
But up by roots to bring dark foliage on.
The trees that have it in their pent-up buds
To darken nature and be summer woods---
Let them think twice before they use their powers
To blot out and drink up and sweep away
These flowery waters and these watery flowers
From snow that melted only yesterday.
