Because of the mud (baby, it’s muddy out there … !!!), I haven’t been into Spring Creek Basin for a few days. The freeze-thaw cycle keeps the ground pretty muddy during the day, and I don’t want to leave ruts (or risk getting stuck) let alone having to stomp around with the weight of the world (what is that in mud per boot … hm … ?) on my boots. 🙂 So this pic of Winona is from about a month ago, pre-snow. Currently, there’s not much snow on the lower levels, but there’s some still clinging to the sides of ridges and in shady (north-facing) places. Grateful for the moisture, in any form!

🥰 I’ll take a Winona photo from any day of the year, TJ! She is still so pretty.
She’s a classic beauty whose loveliness only ever increases. 🙂
Hoping you can shed some of the weight from your ‘boots’ and take the time out of the basin to do things that bring you joy. If you only knew what your photos and stories bring to those of us who read your blog !
Thanks so much, Trish! Your words really made my day! Thank you! 🙂 The mustangs give me SO much, and I can only hope that I’m able to share some of that beauty and magic with others. 🙂
Beautiful gal! You are wise to stay out of the mud!
Sometimes, it’s unavoidable, but the early-morning freeze provides time for chores and necessary things. 🙂 I bet the horses love to feel those first early rays of sunshine; it thaws quickly.
lovely
Indeed. 🙂
