The pretty wind

5 05 2024

Did I mention that it was REALLY windy that day, up on that ridge? I may have forgotten that part; here, wind in the spring is such a usual occurrence, it’s as normal and regular as sunshine.

By the time I moved away from Hollywood and closer to Sundance’s and Storm’s bands, Sundance’s were on their way down another little finger ridge. But when he stopped to pose as only Sundance can (!), the wind had its artful way with his mane and tail!

(From 8 this morning until midnight, pretty much all of western Colorado is under a high wind warning. I’m predicting NON-pretty dusty air by the end of the day.)

Oh my gosh – Sundance. No matter when you catch him with your camera, TJ, it’s a certifiable glamor shot! He is truly amazing and enchanting – a mystical mustang. And gorgeous!

The hardest thing was holding the camera steady! I was afraid I was going to get a blurry mess. πŸ™‚

Ugh. I don’t even know how to estimate our wind speed – or gusts. In a word, it’s been *terrible*.

Here too. At one point the house was shaking. I’m so sick of this.

there’s no other way to say it, but that he is the epitome of perfect! Thankfully, the wind that was predicted here never showed up, but was just unseasonably cold all day. The rivers have slowed and buds on the trees are snuggling for a while until it warms up again. All in good time.
