So THIS happened Wednesday! On top of the rain mud, the snow made conditions, um, muddIER. 🙂
These lovelies weren’t the only ones.
But wait! There’s more!
How many do you count? 🙂
As it turned out, though I spent a couple of hours in the basin – enough time for most of the snow (1 to 3 inches, depending on location) to melt! – I saw only ONE band of mustangs. They were farther than I wanted to hike in the snow and mud, so I looked in the far corners for another, closer band – without success. By the time I went back to the first band, they’d decided (anthropomorphism alert) they didn’t want to be leftovers and had disappeared. 🙂
I was just happy to see the snow and the mud and the one band and all the pronghorns (which have been very visible lately, though mostly a bit lower). We’re going to have mud for a while – especially with more rain/snow due Sunday!
Spring Creek Basin Mustangs 
Still sunny and upper 60s at this point – 9am! Really quite strange.
I’m happy for you tho – weather wise
We’re definitely making up for lost moisture and cooler weather. I’m ready. 🙂
Wow, TJ! You had snow too! I’m glad you were included. Love these pics of snow and pronghorns. They look so pretty with that white background. We and they and all critters appreciate this moisture. 😀
So fun to see that first snowfall. 🙂 And it lasted a bit longer than I thought it would. All nice moisture … and more on the way!
So glad for the moisture of any kind! The pronghorns look very pretty against the snow!
SO glad – yes, exactly! And I agree – the pronghorns’ soft sand-and-white coloring looks warm and beautiful with the snow. 🙂
