The direction of life

Kestrel (seeming to listen to the sound of Spring Creek running after the rain).

Kestrel

A portrait of wisdom. Lovely, lovely girl. She’s another one that seemed to look now and then toward the sound of water – Spring Creek flowing with life-giving water.

Down to the bare necessities: grass, rain, shade (they make do with less) – wild.

Hollywood, Alegre and Houdini (barely seen in back) under a rainbow in Spring Creek Basin.

Our treasures.

We could hear water rushing through the meanders of Spring Creek below the hill and across the basin. Wowza. Now and then one of the horses would look up and stare across the basin toward the creek. The sound must have sounded amazing to them, too.

The rain is much easier to see here. Sunday’s rain was even better. Muddy roads limit access, but ponds must be full; Spring Creek looked like Spring River.

Ah, the relief of rain. It’s hard (impossible) to tell here, but it was raining. And it was awesome.
