Grey’s grey girls

16 11 2012

Don’t let the babies’ shades fool you – they’re all grey!

Mariah reminds me a lot of Gemma (a big sister who was adopted last year). Beautiful and bold. Maia is much more shy. A lot of her daddy (Bounce) in her.

Lovely last light on lovely girls.

The eyes have it

Gorgeous Maia is a shy girl, but she looks a lot like big brother Whisper.

Isn’t she a little stunner? Simply gorgeous.

Swoosh!

No, that kind … this kind!:

Is she – Maia – not the cutest thing going?! That’s Mariah behind her and mama Alegre in front of her. The baby girls were reacting to Hollywood’s band coming over a rise in the distance.

They were excited; mamas were not worried.

Maia in the light

6 07 2012

Rain today.

Wet stuff falling from the dark, swollen heavens.

Relief.

Rain.

I’ve never been so happy about mud. 🙂

Maia last night. Sweet baby girl.

Black and white …

Alegre and Maia at the end of the day.

… and a little pink:

Grey/Traveler just before the end of the day.

Wow. Clouds. I still can’t get over the novelty.

Solstice morning

22 06 2012

Wild girls Alegre and Maia, Mariah and Houdini at sunrise, solstice morning.

Mariah is very clearly shedding her red baby coat and revealing her true grey. Hard to tell yet with Maia, but her little muzzle has a hint of brown to it.

Meet Maia

3 05 2012

Alegre had her baby!

Do you see what I see?

Now?

Shy baby.

There’s the little miss!

She is the spitting image of her big sister Aurora and their daddy, Bounce – except! Maia has two hind pasterns to ‘Rora’s and Bounce’s right hind pastern! I still don’t know whether Aurora will eventually turn grey like mama or stay black like daddy. Sable was jet black until her second summer, when she started to turn grey, and I first documented Ty as black – and look at him now!
