Sassy girls Aurora, Terra and Piedra enjoy a breeze that (mostly) kept the gnats away.
Trumpeting

What’s Comanche so happy about?
Spring Creek Basin got sprinkles. 🙂
(That “hazy” grey background is sprinkly stuff. Not exactly “rain” … but gettin’ there.)
And the weatherman says we might be on track to finally get our monsoons. The rain can’t come soon enough. Lots and lots of fires are burning throughout the West. The one nearest to Disappointment Valley may have gotten dampened by some rain on Saturday.
Prayers are with all who are evacuated from their homes and/or closely watching fires in or near their communities.

Yes, big boy, all eyes really ARE on you!
Handsome Storm gives me the eyeball after he checked out – and added to – a nearby stud pile.

Who ‘dat?

Ty seems to be craning to see who’s pointing a big black box and white tube at him. He cracks me up. 🙂 (There was nothing between us to block his view.)

Easily beautiful

Spring Creek Basin’s cover girls: Alegre and Houdini.
Alegre might have gotten a little dusty between model takes, but gosh. Gorgeous!

What we love
6 07 2017For God so loved the world …
How can you not believe in a higher power with so much gorgeousity in the world?
(The image of the moon was taken a few evenings ago. All others were taken last night at the very end of the beautiful day (which included very heavy smoke from the East Rim Fire throughout Disappointment Valley during the afternoon).)

Celebrate independence
4 07 2017
On the anniversary of America’s independence and declaration of freedom, our wild horses and burros are under attack as never before.
It’s hard to even fathom that the widescale slaughter of tens of thousands of these beautiful wild animals could happen in America, but please make your voices heard – and tell your legislators that YOU don’t agree. Our wild ones are counting on us.

Deep, dark blue is the color of a teasing sky
3 07 2017
Yes, those are stormy clouds in the background, beyond Brumley Point and Sundance.
Lightning strikes caused at least two fires well south of the basin (called in) … and a few drops of rain fell across a seemingly isolated band of area in lower Disappointment Valley but, as far as I could tell, none in Spring Creek Basin. But maybe we’re getting closer to more widespread drops (though not according to the forecast).
If you’re camping and/or celebrating our nation’s Independence Day, please be careful.

Maia on the first day of July – hazy and breezy. Not a drop of rain fell in June this year.
