The setting sun not only made an orange glow of the landscape, but it turned lovely Alegre as brassy as a coveted statue. The Earth and the mustangs aren’t ruled by clocks, of course, but the days ARE getting longer, and the sun seems to hang a little longer above the horizon.
Not much green yet – in the photo or on the range – but hopefully Mother Nature’s elves are hard at work getting ready for spring on this St. Patrick’s Day!

At 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 22, at Out West Books in Grand Junction, Kat Wilder will be reading from her memoir, “Desert Chrome; Water, A Woman, and Wild Horses in the West.” I’ll be there to talk a bit about Spring Creek Basin’s mustangs, and we’re hoping someone from Friends of the Mustangs – advocacy group associated with the Little Book Cliffs mustangs – will say a few words about their work.
If you’re in the Grand Junction area next week, stop by and say hi!
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
Wish I could be there!
In a *crazy* twist, I wish I could send some of our moisture to Texas (but not TOO much … we need all we’ve received and may still get!). … Though I imagine the folks still buried under 2 feet of snow would like to deliver some of that! 😉
“Brassy.” Good word for that bright photo full of ” goldeness,” TJ. Very pretty. And spring is coming to add green to that pallet!
There’s some very minute little green bits starting to emerge … and some of it is even grass! 🙂 I’m looking forward to spring this year (instead of dreading it because we got so little moisture during winter!).
WOW! Just beautiful! This would be a really hard puzzle!
Oh, I bet it would be hard, indeed, with all that bright gold!
So great! It will be green soon, I hope!
I hope so, too. 🙂 The world *does* have that fresh look of spring now (fresh washed with the recent rain!). … Hopefully green is not far behind!
