Dundee rests for a moment after rolling in the snow-damp ground. I had found a place to sit and watch the horses graze and mosey around along a little bit of a semi-ridge. Sometimes, while looking through a long lens at what’s going on at a distance, you don’t notice so much what’s happening closer – especially if you’re not anticipating anything happening closer!
That’s what happened here: While focusing (both through the camera and in general) farther away, I suddenly became aware that Dundee’s chosen spot to roll was right in front of me. Thinking that it would be less disruptive to her than standing up, even to back away, I just sat there while she rolled. Then she stood up, shook and wandered on. Rowan and Buckeye also came and dropped and rolled in that spot; I scooted a bit farther down the hill to give them a bit more comfortable room. 🙂

What a treat to see them up close and personal; I think they know and trust you, TJ! This is such a great photo of Dundee.
She’s still the leader of the mares, I’d say, and I’m very honored that she thought she could be at her most vulnerable right near by. 🙂
Great picture!
Great moment! 🙂
TJ, I’m afraid Word Press doesn’t want to play today… will try to create a new login etc when I have time.
Just to say I think Dundee maybe is having a snow-bath :). Durango will be in the low 70”s by the weekend 🤭

WordPress goes through random temperamental issues too often, even on my end. 😛 I’m glad it let you post!
She was definitely taking advantage of that snow-dampened ground. We hit 70 already today. 🙂 After recovering from below-freezing temps this morning! Oh, Colorado, how we love you!
