Candy-cane mustang

3 12 2024

Terra was being pushed around by her stallion – that’s why she looks a bit grumpy here – but I was trying and trying to get a pic of her with the candy-cane-striped ridge in the background, and because she was mostly browsing in the face-deep snow, I just wasn’t catching the shot I wanted.

When it’s not snow-covered, that ridge and a couple of others are very orangey in red-rock appearance, and they look like giant ocean waves at the northish rim of our high-desert enclave.

I loved that in the snow, the orange rock showed through almost like candy cane stripes on a very festive, gorgeous morning (especially when the sun finally cleared the clouds!).

(Please note that all that snow is long melted now; as I wrote previously, I had a lot of beautiful pix to share of some mustangs in snow!)

I’m loving your snow photos, TJ! Everything is so pretty decked out in white and Terra is the best part. 🙂

You and me, both! I sure hope we have a nice winter with lots of regular moisture. It’s so different every year now. Hope you got some great moisture recently!

Me, too. 🙂 It’s harder for them … in the moment … but it sure does come in handy during the dry, dry months. 😉

We did get rain. Now it’s foggy. 😄 We had the fog up in the hills for a few days , now it’s dropped down to the valley. .

Ah, fog. We rarely get fog here – too dry. When we do, I marvel at the conditions that have to be *just right*. 🙂 So glad for your needed rain!
