Don’t you wish your path to the water cooler had such awesome scenery? 🙂
Storm and Juniper lead the way to one of Spring Creek Basin’s three ponds that still has water.

Sundance is alert to a commotion of bands at the nearest pond, which was not too close.
But a stallion can never be too sure. And who knows what he learns by watching the others?
Our hoped-for snow came to naught. It blew. It swirled. It ended up in Wyoming (based on how hard the wind was blowing out of the south). The ground never even got wet. Next time …

Those patches of snow are gone, though damp spots on the earth still linger in shady places. The snow on the La Sals is rapidly fading to the grey of the rock below as the sun shines relentlessly down during this winter of discontent.

Today is the fifth anniversary of the passing of a beloved friend, Pati Temple. Even as we continue to mourn her loss, we celebrate her life and the shining light she was to all creatures, especially Spring Creek Basin’s mustangs.

There’s our snow and our Corazon!
With a bit of snow – the second, third (?) time this winter? – our hearts are happy!
Corazon is very happy, too. He’s just a very, very coooooooolll dude. 🙂

Hollywood. So glamorous. Sigh.

Winona enjoys the view on a glorious fall evening in Spring Creek Basin.

OK, so the La Sals aren’t the biggest mountains around. But they’re our mountains, and they’re part of our big views. 🙂
Skwaylker definitely is one of the big boys of Spring Creek Basin. Still looking for a love!

I wouldn’t look at the photographer, either, if I had grass like that. 🙂

Seriously, it’s time to put an end to the myth that all wild horses are starving on all public rangelands that they (and they alone) have destroyed.
Love,
Spring Creek Basin mustangs

My folks have lived in Texas since 1992 (after an earlier tour of duty there in the early 1980s). Fortunately, they were on the northwestern edge of the swirl and are grateful for rain received after extremely hot and dry conditions. Our hearts are with all those affected by the devastation.
