Terra; McKenna Peak and Temple Butte

Fortunately for the sake of this photo, a horse was behind Terra, and when she looked around at him, she paused to look at me as she turned back to her grazing. And shazam: Terra and the icons of Spring Creek Basin.

Glorious. 🙂

Storm; McKenna Peak and Temple Butte

Storm trudges after his band. Look at those ears. 🙂 He was very happy grazing where he was, thank you very much. But the girls decided it was time for the evening drink, and where the girls go, Storm is obliged to follow!

The crazy thing is … many, many days in Spring Creek Basin are pure magic. Pure perfection.

Chipeta; McKenna Peak and Temple Butte

Chipeta walks past McKenna Peak and Temple Butte with a jaunty lilt to her step.

In other news: Hurricane/Tropical Storm Rosa, we love you!

She’s bringing rain to our very parched region, and we couldn’t be more grateful. 🙂
