All that lovely snow is gone now (well, most of it, and especially in the scene seen here), but it’s too hard and too damaging to try to get in Spring Creek Basin in the mud, so for the next few days, at least, enjoy these scenes of winter white!
Corazon and his band were grazing when I first saw them up a hill in the northwestern area of the basin. By the time I trundled up to them, that ol’ Colorado sunshine was starting to melt the snow (and the trees’ roots were slurping it up thirstily!), and the horses were napping in the bright warmth.
If Punxsutawney Phil lived in Colorado, I imagine he’d see his shadow on most Groundhog Days (and the marmots at our Groundhog reservoir (a few thousand feet higher than Spring Creek Basin and snowed in) surely see theirs!). With his still-fuzzy coat, Corazon is not at all worried about six more weeks of winter … and we’re still hoping for more snow!

I’m definitely hoping for more snow. Heard my first crane today but there’s no open water, so I dunno…
Hope you get snow and the cranes, some open water! Our temps are up and down here … and maybe snow flurries tonight … after another blue-sky day!?
It happens!
It definitely does. Sunday, we hit 51 degrees, and at dawn Monday, we had an inch of snow!
Love those pintos!
They’re sure eye-catching!
Ha. The marmot saw his shadow! Black Snag Ben. Yes. I went there. However many more weeks of winter remain, we always hope for more snow, aka – water!
Black Snag Ben. 🙂 At this point in winter, some of us always want more snow! Although, having seen the crazy amount of snow between Disappointment Valley and Cortez a couple of days ago, I’m sure there are many people who don’t want to see another shovelful of snow!
Good news Corazon👌😄

I missed this. So great!
