Comanche takes advantage of some shade in the late afternoon before joining the caravan to the local water hole.

Hollywood's band

In the high desert country, we don’t take water for granted.

This pond was dry until the recent couple of rains swept through.

Sundance

It’s always a treat to see handsome Sundance. Looking for him and his band led to seeing some positives in the basin after a few recent rains. 🙂

Spirit and Puzzle in the gold of late evening.

Sometimes, there’s nothing else necessary to say.

Maiku in Spring Creek

Two nights ago, rain ran in curtains across the northern end of Disappointment Valley, including Spring Creek Basin.

After that rain, water ran in a flood in Spring Creek, in northeastern Disappointment Valley. 🙂

Above, Maiku tests the mud after drinking in a center stream where water still ran.

Comanche

If you have to look on the *bright* side of flying uggies, look no farther than the late light through Comanche’s tail.

There’s an upside to most everything. 🙂

If you said even a little prayer for rain in Southwest Colorado, thank you. Sincerely. 🙂

We got a really good, soft, fairly long, wonderfully welcome shower yesterday evening. The ground is sighing in gratitude, and so are we all.

Seneca with sunflower

Despite the brief respite of a cloud blocking the sun when this photo was taken, sunshine, we have in abundance. What we need now are some showers.
