The sun wasn’t far above the horizon when I arrived in the basin Friday evening. Grey/Traveler and his band and Steeldust and his band – including the ever-present bachelor boys – were waiting for me fairly near the entrance. Grey’s were grazing, but most of Steeldust’s were napping. Babies Ember and Storm were lying down, but Pinon had made a new friend.
Pinon and Aspen
I don’t know what it means … Just a pic to make ya go “hmm.” They grow up so fast!
The light was just perfect, and the horses were relaxed and soaking it in before another long, chilly night. (The temperature dropped into at least the mid-20s overnight.)
Last light
Grey/Traveler and his band were just below the road on a hill above the area where Steeldust’s band was hanging out. Not too much interaction between the two bands (at least while I was watching), but there would be plenty of action later among Steeldust’s hangers-on.

Big, curious girl. She looks like a draft horse foal, doesn’t she?
Sleepy baby
Storm’s doing his impression of a curly haired bison calf here. Kestrel and Sundance in the background.
Sisters?
Hollywood’s girls, Piedra and Baylee. Baylee is Mahogany’s yearling daughter. … Piedra has her ears. Maybe. Need a chuckle? Check out Piedra’s lower lip.
Looking for trouble
Uh oh
The approach
The rejection
The rescue
Better luck next time
Show me the love
