We got rain. 🙂

Relief.

Gratitude.





Splendid dirty girl

Reya, La Sal Mountains

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?!





Top ‘o the beautiful world

La Sal Mountains

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. 🙂





Merry Christmas!

Pintos, La Sal Mountains, Round Top

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. 🙂





Our views are the best views

Spring Creek canyon from bachelor ridge in Spring Creek Basin.

This view looks across Spring Creek Basin toward Spring Creek canyon and beyond to the northern ridges of lower Disappointment Valley.

La Sal Mountains from Spring Creek Basin.

Clouds clear from the La Sal Mountains on the evening of our big snowfall.

It’s easy to imagine mustangs out there in big country, isn’t it? They were nearby but were more focused on finding and uncovering and eating than in taking photographic direction from the light- and background-obsessed paparazzo. 🙂

Shazamawowie!





More gold

Golden eagle

This beauty was just a few miles outside Spring Creek Basin. In the background are the fresh-snow-covered La Sal Mountains.

The magic of beauty and wildness is all around us!





Walk, welcome

Kwana, La Sal Mountains

Handsome Kwana walks into the sunset … a little cloudy on this windy day in Spring Creek Basin. We’d like to see more cloudy days over the basin, especially if those clouds herald rain or snow.

Happy post-turkey dinner!





Just that beautiful

23 11 2016

La Sal Mountains, Utah

Imagine mustangs. They’re there.

A little to the left. Down the hill. On the other side of the arroyo. 🙂

And then the light was gone.

The mustangs live on.





Chinny chin

Raven

Do you love Raven’s white chinny-chin-chin? 🙂





Walkin’ near water

Reya

Barely visible behind Reya are the La Sal Mountains of Utah. Although a few ponds in Spring Creek Basin are dry at the end of this dry fall, this particular pond has a good amount of water for the mustangs. We did get a bit of welcome rain a couple of days ago, but our abundant sunshine signals a return to dry and fairly warm conditions.
