Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

In French: contre-jour – “against daylight.” I love shooting against the light. It produces something beautiful that conventional wisdom advises against.

I just learned this term; doesn’t it sound lovely in French? Chipeta is lovely in any language!

Why, yes, Spirit, we do see you flirting with your uncle Maiku. 🙂

The boys form close bonds, too.

Photography of wild horses tip No. 327: When they won’t give you the time of day, include a stunning background.

Relaxed, calm, peaceful; visits always are worth more than pictures, which hopefully do well to serve as simple, lovely reminders.

Young Kwana is hanging out with bachelors Duke and Kreacher. This isn’t the first time Duke has been a mentor to a stallion in the younger generation. He fills the role in his understated way, in his wonderful way.

Handsome Mr. Apollo was chillin’ with his mates on a lovely evening. Behind him, our iconic McKenna Peak and Temple Butte.

S’aka blows steam on a nippy evening in Spring Creek Basin. Remnants of our first snowfall linger still on the shadowed sides of hills and ridges. The cold temps that turned rain to snow also linger! But the horses are in fine shape as fall turns to winter.

Mm hmm. Hunk. 🙂

Beautiful mustang. Beautiful mountains. Beautiful light.

Really, another image of Mysterium trotting across a ridge below the La Sals is not “too much.”
