Yes, you’re seeing clouds in the background above McKenna Peak and Temple Butte. We’ve had some nice clouds. … And we’ve had more red-flag days. And smoke. And heat.
So handsome blue-eyed boy Kwana is a welcome sight for sore eyes. 🙂

Some black, more blue
23 06 2020
Raven heads to evening water with her band.
Those blue skies are resoundingly, depressingly, never-endingly … you know … blue.
But at least the ponies are doing well during another hot, dry summer.

Quite at his leisure

Aspen stands at peace with his hip cocked while watching a band a little below the ridge he was on. McKenna Peak is giant in the background. The other band was napping in the shade of a juniper tree, but Aspen didn’t seem to mind the sunshine.

Comanche stands guard over his band, alert to all comers, whether his lieutenant stallion or a stallion from a neighboring band.

It’s 4 o’clock somewhere
30 05 2020
Four o’clock flowers are some of the iconic wildflowers of this part of Colorado and one of those we (OK, I) look forward to seeing most. They’re suddenly blooming in Spring Creek Basin, and they’re a welcome splash of color amid our brown, brown expanse.
Speaking of a splash of color … !!!!!!
Our skies lately have been blue, blue, depressingly blue (depressing while we’re looking for rain clouds). But the last few evenings, we’ve gotten some clouds toward evening, and those have made for some spectacular sunsets.

Maiku and his band were practicing social distancing from another couple of bands in the area on this beautiful, golden evening in Spring Creek Basin.

Working hard
1 05 2020
Hayden was working up a sweat from the effort to keep a couple of rival stallions away from his band of mares. Still, he gleams like the shiniest copper penny ever minted. How DOES he do that?!
Happy birthday to my brother, Jeff. He’s working from home like so many others these days, as hard as ever. Happy May Day, little bro!

Natural high

Mysterium naps just below a ridge just below McKenna Peak. It was my first time in that particular area of Spring Creek Basin … but it probably won’t be my last.
