Don’t you love dark-velvet Cassidy Rain with those blue shadows in the background complementing her classic good mustang beauty?
How can you not!? 🙂

Handsome quick pose
11 02 2026
Quiet Tenaz strikes his *wild stallion* pose.
I saw him just as he stepped into position, and I snapped about four pix … and just as I shifted to the right to try to get more of the mountains (visible at far left) in the frame, he returned to quiet grazing mode. 🙂

Lady wild
10 02 2026
Kestrel was born the year I started documenting the Spring Creek Basin herd. She’ll be 19 this year.
I wish I looked as amazing 19 years on as she does. 😉
Here’s to many more years with this first lady of Spring Creek Basin!

Beautiful dry
9 02 2026
This was at least a 57-degree day in still-early February. The temp has been as high as 65 – in still-early February.
Buckeye and the mustangs and all of us are looking for rain – hopefully!!! – the end of this week!

Snow so close
8 02 2026
Not super close, of course. That snow, on those mountains, is in Utah. It doesn’t flow to Disappointment Valley; not even Disappointment Creek (which is still dry and isn’t likely to flow much this year) flows into Spring Creek Basin. We need snow (or rain, at this point, we are NOT picky) to fall IN/ALL OVER/ON Spring Creek Basin (and greater Disappointment Valley … OK, the entire Western Slope of Colorado … all right, really, all of THE WEST).
The optimistic forecast continues its slide until you wonder why the forecasters bothered teasing us at all. … It changes about every five minutes, and any possible/potential moisture is close to a week out anyway (it continues to slide in delays, too).
Terra enjoyed her nap a couple of weeks ago with that beautiful background. Then life got busy and I nearly forgot about that beautiful day with her band.

Heart walking free
6 02 2026
This isn’t Corazon’s heart side, but wherever he goes, he goes freely. I imagine that makes both his heart AND my heart happy.

Hope-filled
5 02 2026
Handsome Tenaz on a breezy spring day. … Err, I mean winter. … Yes, yes, I do.
That white on far Brumley Point is actually still a bit of unmelted snow. Note the shade; that north-facing side is almost always in the shade during winter. Some wet stuff is starting to show up in next week’s forecast. We’re crossing everything that can be crossed, hoping, praying, dancing with abandon. All wishes to the universe accepted. 🙂

Fairytail mustang
4 02 2026
It’s more his mane glowing in the low light, rather than his tail, but I think you get the idea of Flash walking through a fairytale. 🙂

You can’t see her if she can only barely see you.
Truly. 🙂
