Two Sundances are better than one. πŸ™‚

I may have mentioned the wind has been fierce?! Who needs fake wind for fabulous portraits of a most-handsome mustang?

******

Between the wind, the sunshine and temps in the 50s (practically tropical for us these late-winter days!), there was a bit of this yesterday:

That’s actual liquid water, flowing out of Spring Creek Basin and under a bridge along which runs the Disappointment Valley road along the southwestern/southern boundary of the basin. I call it the county-line drainage. You can see a bit of snow on the bank of the arroyo. A lot of smaller tributary arroyos feed into this one, including another large one (also fed by numerous smaller ones) that drains a large area farther to the east. These arroyos, in turn, drain to Disappointment Creek; from this point, the bridge on which I was standing when I took this pic, the creek isn’t too far down this arroyo behind me to the south(ish).

Water shapes our world in many ways here. This: a sign of spring on the way!

Beautiful, precious water…and even more beautiful – Mr. Sundance and his sexy ‘do in glorious close-up! Love these photos, TJ!

He’s a long-haired *good* boy, for sure! πŸ™‚ Love to see that water. Hope it’s flowing into the ponds, too. The catchments, too, must have benefited hugely from this winter’s moisture.

Mid-fifties here. No no no no…!!!! I am sure we’re going to have a fun river this year, maybe overfilled from the incredible snow the San Juans have gotten. Sundance is beautiful ❀️

Same temps here. Feels like spring … complete with that ol’ spring wind! Sundance and the other ponies will soon be shedding. πŸ™‚ Forecast reports show another winter storm hitting us in about mid-March … it’s not over yet! Love Sundance. πŸ™‚

Lenticular clouds all around the valley. I’m betting on another storm.
