Reya and Corazon, the Glade

Reya and Corazon cooperated with the photographer by standing on high ground with silvered golden aspen groves in the background … but not so much with attentive ears. 🙂

The background is above Disappointment Valley and beyond Spring Creek Basin. Our fall colors at lower elevations show in wildly yellow rabbitbrush and cottonwoods along Disappointment Creek (which does not flow through Spring Creek Basin) and orangey tamarisk in the drainages. … And sometimes a sliver of snow on the far edges.





First snow!

The first snow of the season always seems to come as something of a surprise. Such was the case this year. We had nothing but blue skies in the forecast – or so it seemed.

Reya, in her newly fuzzy coat, makes the season extra gorgeous. 🙂

 





Pretty perfect pintos

Hollywood

Hollywood was stuffed. So he cocked a hip and watched his mares graze into the sunset.

What a guy. 🙂

Storm

Storm manages to look cute and hunky at the same time. 🙂

He’s cool like that.





Feelin’ good in the neighborhood

Kestrel and  Comanche

The mares are rarely impressed by their stallions’ antics.

But two minutes later (or less), Kestrel was rolling, too. 🙂

It must have seemed like a good idea! (And Comanche rolled back and forth a couple of times. He must have enjoyed it!)





Not destroyed, definitely not starving

It doesn’t get much more obvious than this.

We are #NOTSTARVING, and our range is #NOTDESTROYED.

Just in case anyone still believes anything else.
