So-pretty Aiyanna. The light loves her … and so do we.

Watching Buckeye sauntering toward his mares under Rowan’s neck made for an interesting perspective.

One more of Hollywood from that gorgeous evening high on the ridge below Brumley Point. What a handsome boy in a glorious place. We should all be as lucky as Hollywood. 🙂

As seen from the road inside Spring Creek Basin’s western boundary, a few bands graze in the northwest hills above/beyond/north of Spring Creek canyon.
With water in places in the creek arroyo and good grazing above the canyon, it’s no wonder the bands were taking advantage of the location. (And I can attest that the views are spectacular *from* up there, too!)

Skywalker passed his bandmates to find undisturbed water upstream in the Spring Creek arroyo.

The creek isn’t flowing (alas); this is water forced to the surface by bedrock. It WAS enough water to satisfy both his band and two or three other bands – at just about nearly the same time. That’s amazing.




Friends are priceless! (Especially in the spring, especially with those itchy bits that you just can’t reach!)
Dundee and Rowan spent several minutes mutually grooming each other on a very quiet, very lovely and very peaceful evening in Spring Creek Basin while their bandmates grazed.

More Hollywood. … Yes, he was very relaxed on this very windy, dusty, hazy day in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂

These little butterflies are everywhere lately, trying to find our few wildflowers, doing their best to further the pollination in this very dry spring. I didn’t realize I’d caught the butterfly with Juniper until I saw the image on my computer later. 🙂 Both bright spots of goodness!
**********
Speaking of bright spots, we got a nice drizzle of rain yesterday! I’d love to have more (you know I always want *more rain*!), but at least this bit of moisture will help our grasses and other vegetation, not to mention those water catchments.
