Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

This was my first glimpse of the moon two nights ago – already very high in the sky above Corazon and Maiku. In the next few shots I took, it was overtaken by clouds.

Trivia: February’s full moon is called the Snow Moon by Native Americans because it usually appears during heavy snow. … It would be GREAT if it snowed here heavily (or at all) while the moon was full!

You can see how late it is; the horses and I are in sunset shade, and the far northern ridges above the basin are glowing in the very absolute last slip of sunlight.

That said, “late” is getting later as we slide toward spring. This “late” was around 5:30 p.m.

How is it that he always glows? The storm was just passing, and the sunshine was spreading through the clouds and snow. And Hayden was looking handsome … as he does. 🙂

It’s impossible to see in this pic, but it was snowing. Really! Terra was trying to keep her butt to the wind – and the snow – using that poor little tree as a buffer. It didn’t work very well … especially when Piedra booted her from her “shelter” just a few seconds later. 🙂

If anything goes better with a blue sky than a handsome blue-eyed mustang, I don’t know what it is. 🙂
