Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Photographers love stormy conditions. Is it any wonder?

Am I right?

A bit wider perspective.

Mustangs were around, but they were not as cooperative as a person could wish with that amazing background ever-changing. 🙂

Flash and his band were grazing from the still-sunny side of the bowl to the already-shady side of the bowl (what I call the series of open areas between ridges in the far northwest). I was uphill of them, which made it hard to also capture the very faint rainbow in the southeastern sky. And this was quite a bit later from the first two pix.

Gaia lingered longest (thanks, girl), but she mostly gave me butt shots (thanks, girl!). 🙂 This one shows more of the rain-mist behind the rainbow.

And a last image from nearly last light … just a hint of a prism in a couple of sections in the sky at right. I mean … stunning!

We’ve gotten a few little rain waves the last couple of days. “Rain” might be overstating things a bit, as they’ve been really more like 10- to 15-minute drizzles. The ground soaks up that moisture incredibly quickly, and it’s dry very soon afterward. But we’ll take it, and the night I took the above images, I found a pond with water. Actual water. 🙂 Joy!
