Mama Alegre and daughter Maia (now 1 year old!) a couple of days after Maia’s birthday. They were grazing near the roller-coaster ridge pond – likely where they got their matching spa treatments. Maia looks like big sister Aurora and their daddy Bounce, but where Aurora may stay black like daddy, Maia is going grey like mama – and big brother Whisper.
In other news, the La Sals, starting to look a little ragged in this photo, have a mantle of new white now after some rain in the low country and snow in the high country. It’s a start, and it’s a relief. It IS green. I don’t understand it, but I love it! The moisture will help tremendously.

Hehe. Those muddy girls.
Water – it’s not just for drinking! They all seem to love playing in the mud. 🙂
Keeps the no-seeums off!
