It was such a weird, seldom-seen sight, I almost saw it without SEEING it.
Peeps, that there’s rainwater, in a puddle. And the ground is dark because it’s still damp. Not splattered by raindrops you can count in the dust but actually DAMP. From rain.
RAIN!
I didn’t actually see the rain, but the puddles don’t lie.
Puddles in the first Spring Creek crossing.
Had a report that it rained – “poured” – for a couple of hours in Ridgway, home of at least five Spring Creek Basin mustangs. (Thanks, Alice!)
Can I also direct your attention to the amazing light in these photos? What, you ask? It’s grey. It’s dull. It’s flat.
Yeah. That’s cloud-a-riffic, my friends. 🙂 Gorgeous!
Thanks for the rain dances! It’s still mostly giving us spits and starts, but it’s coming. And we have storms in the forecast the next couple of days. Firefighters have a handle on all the region’s fires, including the 10,000-plus-acre Weber Fire south of Mancos. The last I saw, they had at least 85 percent containment.
Keep on dancin’!
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
I know how happy you are. We got some rain here too, and it was greatly needed.
HOORAY!!!! Been watching the basin area weather radar every day and thought it looked possible…..so yes, good time to keep dancing.
Thanks so much for showing us the “new light.”
We get so much sunshine here in Southwest Colorado, and it’s great! But it’s amazing how you need a little clouds and rain to maintain your equilibrium. Day after day after week after month of pure blue skies can really depress a person! 🙂
Of course we will! Even Molly has “learned” the dance!! 🙂
