After my visit with the pintos yesterday morning, I found Aspen’s band perfectly positioned with an awesome background. I love to photograph the horses against the La Sal Mountains, which rise to the northwest – especially when the mountains are bright with snow.
We’ve had excellent weather lately – and enough moisture to keep us happy and prepare us for winter to come.
Serious gorgeousity the last two days … and the weather was pretty nice, too. 🙂
Killian and mama Roja
Aspen. Behind him (way out) are the curving rimrocks above Spring Creek Canyon.
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
This is a gorgeous shot. Love the contrasting light/dark. 😉
Beautiful mountains and beautiful horses as always. I love the drop off behind them. They’re grazing over their kingdom :]
he is so beautiful. He reminds me of Diamond Rio I guess. Both are gorgeous guys!!
Killian, his mom, Roja and Aspen are now part of the current Spring Creek Basin *family*. Thanks to TJ, we’ll be able to follow the *wild* ones of this incredible place, while still keeping those that are gone, in our hearts – these horses “live in the moment” – we want to be a part of that moment and learn from it. Thanks, TJ! :))
Roja looks very round.Maybe she is pregnant for the next year
No doubt. 🙂 She’s so small, she always looks like she’s pregnant, even after she’s just foaled!
Thanks, TJ! More wonderful pics of beautiful wild horses. Great that SBC is receiving moisture. Kind of a strange precip pattern in the 4 Corners this year, but I hope it keeps up.
Supposed to be another La Nina weather pattern in this part of Colorado (all the Southwest?). But Tif said the Farmers Almanac showed high precipitation in November – and we got that! But now, apparently, not a lot of snow and cold temps for winter. We take it as it comes, eh? And always hope for the best!
