The horses were happily grazing the newly green, GREEN grass of home when I decided to pack up and head out. While it looks pretty sunny and light still, the sun was very close to the western horizon (away to the far right), and I was hoping to see another band before shadows crept across them. As it turned out, sunset and clouds hastened the coming of night even sooner than I thought (and I’m never ready to leave the basin in any case). I did see that band – and another – and yesterday’s little pronghorn family.
But – of course – after I had my camera packed away in my backpack, Tenaz wandered over and parked himself in the middle of … well, The View. 🙂 My cell phone was much closer to hand … and the best camera, as they say, is the one you have in your hand.
While the quality isn’t up to my big gun, I think the mood and loveliness of the mustang and the evening is perfectly captured … don’t you? 🙂
(I’m also GIDDY to report that the ground under foot and hoof was DAMP, and at least three little arroyos in the northern part of the basin were actively flowing with water from rain over the northern and eastern parts of the basin. I know it rained in the east because Spring Creek also was flowing. I know it didn’t rain in the “southern” areas (basically south of Spring Creek) because the road and ground until I got to Spring Creek were dry. Wild. … And still well received. :))

Just beautiful! Of course,Tenaz wanted to be included in the picture!
He sure does know how to pose for a grand image. 😉
Oh what a beautiful site! ❤️
It’s a wonderful view from the basin’s north hills!
Hello Tenaz! SO Glad you have green grass and flowing water!!!!
>
We’re all grateful. 🙂
Beautiful picture! ❤
I’m happy to be the recorder of such beauty. 🙂
Yay rain!!!! Beautiful scenes.
Even a little has done wonders for the basin and surrounding area. Thank goodness it comes back readily. …
I’m just so glad there is so much “dampness” out there! And green things. And in this case, a glimpse of Tenaz. That is a quality photo regardless of its origin!
It dries quickly … but the grass right now is just tremendous! 🙂
Great picture and story!
Thanks, Pat. 🙂
