Near and far

In Sand Wash Basin, the mustangs are documented just as they are in Spring Creek Basin. They’re named. They’re loved.

Aiyanna means “blossoming” or “eternal flower.”

Known. Loved.

The flowering plant in the images above is called four o’clock, and it grows naturally all over Spring Creek Basin – more in some places than in some other places (!). There are practically BUSHES of it along the north hills in the area of the new water catchment. This one and many more are in the western part of the basin where Flash and his girls are currently hanging out.

It was harder than anticipated trying to get the girls and the flowers in the same frame. 🙂

Did I mention how polite these girls are? 🙂 They’ve been fairly close to roads, making things much easier on me in my time of infirmity!

The pretty new girls and those always pretty four o’clocks were made for each other!

Beautiful photos! I love Aiyanna’s name and she’s stunning (the others are, too)
