Pony gold ‘n treasure

5 06 2025

Think shooting rainbows is all, well, rainbows and unicorns?

Those “unicorns” have minds of their own that don’t often consider “posing” for two-leggeds to be part of any kind of their wild plan whatsoever.

I’m still on the hunt for what I consider a *perfect* (OK, even somewhat close) mustangs-under-the-rainbow shot. 🙂

Tenaz helped a bunch. Thanks, buddy. 🙂

Oh, and although it was NOT raining over Spring Creek Basin whatsoever anywhere (it was either virga or far up-valley beyond the basin’s boundaries) when we had the rainbow (as usual, which, I know, seems odd and unusual, except here (!?!), where it’s completely and totally normal), the rain came with sunset. 😉

We’re dancin’ a little bit with a lotta joy!

What a gorgeous photo, TJ! A nice rainbow and Tenaz – I’d say about as close to “rainbows and unicorns” as you can get! Such lovely colors, and of course Tenaz is pure handsomeness.

I have to remember that any pic of a mustang under a rainbow is a treasure. 🙂

We are AMAZINGLY grateful. We’ve gotten almost more moisture since Monday than we’ve gotten since last Dec. 1. Grow, grass, grow! 🙂

Lots of joy indeed to see Pony Gold at the end of the Rainbow! What a fantastic shot, TJ! This is a children’s book waiting to happen!

Ha! Dunno about that, but he’s definitely pony gold. 🙂

A multiple rainbow — the sky does that here, too, sometimes no rain except up in the sky.

It might be a Western thing. I don’t think it was what Dolly, in the verdant East, was thinking about when she said every rainbow needs rain (she said it much better!). 🙂

My mom called virga “raining in the sky” which isn’t wrong so maybe Dolly’s onto something.
