In the secret forest

11 05 2023

You didn’t know we have a secret forest, did you?

OK, it’s really not that secret; it’s a narrow little forested strip on top of one of the lower ridges. I adore any pix I’m able to get of the mustangs in a treed setting because it’s so rare to find them in a treed setting! It does sometimes make them a bit hard to spot (yay for the greys!).

The dapply light was lovely on Kestrel’s emerging dapples … emerging as she sheds her winter coat for her summer finery.

Dapples upon dapples. Such a wonderful photo of pretty Kestrel reposing in the “forest.”

It makes quite a contrast from the usual, eh? 🙂

How much fun to find them in there! Must be a nice cool respite for them 🙂

And out of the wind! At least the full force of it. 🙂 Soon, though, the gnats will be swarming – and in the pinon-junipers is the worst!
