Sometimes, under cloudy skies, you feel like the images you may get from a visit with the horses are going to be blah. … But often the camera will pick up these subtle, soft, pastel-like colors that you may not have been aware of while you were clicking because, mostly, you were enjoying being among the wave of ponies moving across a hill in search of yummy tidbits, even in the mud (and maybe the recent moisture made it all yummier).
It’s all about the experience and time well spent with mustangs in Spring Creek Basin.
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
How fortunate you are to BE there!!!
I am blessed, and I never take it for granted.
I love these colors, TJ! And they certainly are “pastel-like” – delicate, soft, subtle hues. Very pretty!
Fresh and wet. 🙂
Very pretty picture! Love the soft colors!
They photograph well! 🙂
Growing up in Wisconsin and Michigan Spring through Fall was an array of lush green, lakes, bright colors and rolling hills. My first trip to the southwest left me wondering “where was there color?” In time my mental palette began to see subtle shades of colors. The west, especially the desert, became alive and beautiful to me.

It’s a more subtle beauty in some cases, for sure. 🙂
