Rain at sunset over Utah’s La Sal Mountains, looking to the northwestish – golden rain.
And looking to the eastish across Spring Creek Basin to McKenna Peak, Temple Butte, Brumley Point and beyond … pink rain.
Mother Nature has a pretty amazing palette out here in the wide, wild, beautiful world. 🙂
Maia and the La Sals.
Blessed.
And there they are. Mustangs in a big, beautiful, wild land.
Spending time with the mustangs renews your faith in the world. Mostly because the rest of the world seems far, far away when you’re with them. 🙂
It wasn’t at all soggy when this photo of Winona and Mariah was taken, last weekend, but it IS soggy now.
It was so soggy, and with more rain in Tuesday’s forecast, that the University of Missouri students – here again for alternative spring break! – canceled yesterday’s work in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂 But tomorrow calls for sunshine and high temps in the 50s, so we’re looking forward to meeting this year’s crop of hard-working students and getting some more fence work done!
We are VERY happy about the rain. It brings us to nearly an inch of moisture for the month of March. (Yikes. March is supposed to be the wettest month in Colorado.)
Hayden spent most of our visit napping over a stud pile.
Dude, that’s not very photogenic.
Then he turned and looked at a nearby band as I was walking away. Thanks, pal. 🙂
We got rain. 🙂
Relief.
Gratitude.
Miss Reya is glorious, in all her muddy, fuzzy, wind-blown disheveled gorgeousity.
How our hearts sing at the sight.

Did you remember to spring forward?!
A mustang pauses in her grazing to survey her magnificent world in and around Spring Creek Basin. Those are the La Sal Mountains of Utah in the background.
It’s a beautiful world out there. 🙂
From (part of) our family to (all of) yours, we wish you all the joy and beauty of the season. It’s a time of peace and love and reflection on all that has gone on in 2016.
We have had another good year in Spring Creek Basin, and we’re thankful to many people for their support as we support our mustangs in this beautiful little part of the greater, wild world.
As we continue our work to cherish and protect these amazing animals, we work indirectly to pay it forward to other volunteers and mustangs throughout the West and the country. Our goal is to keep Spring Creek Basin mustangs wild in Spring Creek Basin, and with the progressive partnership of our Tres Rios BLM team, Mike Jensen and Justin Hunt and Garth Nelson, we are succeeding.
Our hearts and our voices are raised in joy. 🙂
