Winona made me work hard for this image, which is a millisecond away from a head shake against annoying flying bugs.
What caught my eye first, as I was walking back to my vehicle from a visit with another band, downslope, after the sun set beyond the ridge we were on, turning our near-world to shadow, was the still-lit-and-glowing red-rock knob to the north. Then, Winona’s band.
Her pearl-shimmer grey against that glowing red?! Yes, yes, I did stay and try very hard to get her in front of it while she grazed head-down among the fourwing saltbush.
I think I finally succeeded. 🙂
(I’ve heard that formation called Klondike Basin, but as it’s a ridge, outcropping, something (?), it doesn’t look much like a basin. On maps in that area is something called Buck Knob. Which/whatever its name, it’s as identifying to Spring Creek Basin as some of our other landmarks, though because of its location and rarity of catching the horses in proximity, it doesn’t show up in many pix.)
Beautiful high-desert colors and sweet Winona. Doesn’t get much better!
Exactly! Very complementary. 😊
Glad you got this great picture of this pretty gal!
It was hard work (of not very long duration!), but we got there in the end. 😊
The background colors are perfect to show off Winona. Great capture.
Aren’t those colors gorgeous? Maybe not quite as glowy as when I first saw it … but still pretty great. 😊
