Seven hit the brakes and changed direction when he came up from a little drainage to warn Hayden away and saw me – too!
Power to the Seven-th

More green
31 07 2013Seven’s band enjoys good summer grass in Spring Creek Basin. Spring Creek canyon is in the background.
The grass and hills are green, and the ponds have water – all but one of the ponds not dug out.

Standing guard
13 07 2013Seven and his girls stand over their baby girl, Tesora, while she naps during a hot afternoon in Spring Creek Basin.
Signs of rain are on the horizon – literally. But we need a bit of a direct hit. I think I can speak for the ponies when I say we’re ready already.

Manes
24 06 2013Kreacher and Seven had a little discussion around the water hole. Loved their shades of grey and the strands of their manes that seem to flow into each other with the ever-present wind. Love these boys!

Say cheese!
24 05 2013While I was busy with the camera, my assistant was working the squeaky toy and the reflectors to get just the right light on our subjects.
Other than Tesora sticking out her tongue, as youngsters are wont to do, my assistant did a pretty good job with lighting and ears, don’t you think?
Thanks, Ma Nature. 🙂

Overlap
8 05 2013Chipeta, right, watches while Seven grazes with his mares, Puzzle and Shadow, and his stepdaughter, Tesora. Chipeta is Puzzle’s mama; she’s with Ty and their daughter, Seneca, who were out of this shot to the right. Copper also was with them. On this particular evening, their “spaces” overlapped a bit.

Welcome, baby!
13 04 2013Shadow has our first baby of the year!
***Update: I’ve looked back through my notes, and it looks like DAVID definitely is the sire of this darling little girl. 🙂
She looks a bit like Storm as a baby.
Shadow stands over her little girl while she naps.
Shadow and baby with stepdaddy Seven. Check out baby’s curled ears. 🙂 I love seeing that!
Like my mom said: “Spring time = baby time!”

7 04 2013It’s hard to hide when you choose this kind of “camouflage.”

On guard
30 03 2013Seven’s ladies seem to be feeding him well. Puzzle is behind him, and you can just see Shadow at bottom right.
