What lies beneath

24 01 2022

This pond is quite a bit bigger than this limited view from the camera shows. Most of it is covered in ice right now, and the horses are drinking from the very edge, which thaws a bit during the day. They help it along by pawing at it to get to the liquid beneath the ice.

It’s one of the most scenic ponds in the basin. 🙂

Ha! I don’t know whether horses suffer brain freeze. They go to water so infrequently that when they do drink, they slurp and slurp and slurp and slurp! It does make you think the cold will go right to their brains! 🙂

This is such a beautiful photo, TJ! And I love that the pond is looking so good. We were so blessed to get those first, few, early snows to help fill the ponds for the dry times this winter.

Yes, thank goodness, indeed. Now we need more snow to help keep liquid in those ponds!
