Moody blues

13 11 2023

Love those moody blues, modeled so well by Flash. The day had been really smoky/hazy/dusty (?), and the clouds were skimmed high over the sky, so the light had a really interesting quality – not cloudy but definitely not sunny. By the time I took this pic of Flash, against Filly Peak, way in the distance, the sun had set into a low-to-the-horizon cloud bank, and the light was just … bluey. Not grey. Kind of cool. Filly Peak usually is very orangey/taupey/beigey um, tan. The far blue ridge is outside/beyond Spring Creek Basin, and that *blue* is dense pinon-juniper forest.

Houdini was not interested in interacting with the band that had Flash’s attention; she was over the ridge, minding her own business.

That IS interesting bluish light, TJ. And it seems to compliment and emphasize Flash’s beautiful patchwork coat – blue on blue. Great photo.

It was cool (get it)! 🙂 And it worked SO beautifully with his coloring, as you pointed out. 🙂

Beautiful serene photo. If I painted it, no one would believe it.

🙂 Well, you could call it “surrealistic”?

What a great picture of Filly Peak Flash going along. I remember when Flash was named. It did not seem right at the time but does now!

He’s going to lose all his flashy spots eventually (sooner than later at the rate he’s going!). 🙂 He’s a handsome fella!
