Some post-rain magic

1 07 2024

A recent selection of post-rain images:

The water trough at the main/original water catchment is full again. The tank has about 3 feet of water. It has been mostly dry with a poor winter and without much rain.

Post-rain grass growth! If you live east of the Rockies and in places where it, you know, rains, this might look sparse. … To us, it looks lush and divine! And I will tell you, the mustangs are going after it with gusto!

Do you see the pillar of light? The clouds were heavy the last part of the day (and they and the breeze dropped the mercury comfortably), but then, at THE very end of the day, the sun found a window, and it lit up the basin.

Did you think I was exaggerating? πŸ™‚ As usual, the pic doesn’t do justice to the colors of reality.

I couldn’t decide between the really long, wide view or the slightly zoomed-in view, so you get both. πŸ™‚

Just another glorious day in Spring Creek Basin. I promise, pix of ponies are on the way.

P.S. Happy July. πŸ™‚

It’s absolutely, stunningly beautiful out there since the rain! What a difference a little water makes, and yes, that grass does look lush. I’m so glad for you and the mustangs! Gorgeous pics, TJ.

The transformation to the land since the rain – and so fast – is amazing. And so gratifying to see. πŸ™‚

Simply spectacular sunset shots, TJ! πŸ˜πŸ’• And I’m so happy to see Spring Creek Basin received some much needed rainfall! I know the thirsty mustangs, basin critters, and vegetation must be very grateful too! I pray the showers continue! πŸ™πŸ»

I love these types of photos. When I see sunrise and sunsets like these here at home I just stay outside for as long as I can . It relaxes me.

So happy to see the water catchment full, and green grass growing. ❀️

I know exactly what you mean. I’m usually “rushing” against the dark, but I always end up in the dark anyway because I keep stopping to ooh and ahh and take pix. πŸ™‚

That “1,000 words” problem, eh? πŸ™‚ This is why I like images … though I’m also a word person!
