Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Again. 🙂

Skywalker doesn’t like to expend too much energy. And who needs to on a warm(ish) spring day when the wind is NOT howling?

We interrupt your regularly scheduled brown-landscape post with this view of our black-and-white girl in a very white landscape!

We had hoped for rain – and I admit, I wasn’t very certain of any moisture at all – and we got this!

At the time I was photographing Raven and her band, the wind was blowing the snow sideways, and she and her bandmates were taking shelter in a small copse of pinon and juniper trees, butts to the wind-driven flurries (can’t we get away from that wind? even while it’s snowing?!).

A handsome blue-eyed mister never goes amiss, particularly not on a grey day.

Can it get any windier? (Don’t answer that.)

At least we have beautiful mustangs to get us through.

Sticking with the theme of spring wind … it’s still windy out there! Spring is just barely springing, so wind is “hair” to stay!

It does make for some cute hair-dos. 🙂

Sometimes, the howling spring winds just take it outta ya … “it” being whatever you need it to be: motivation, gumption, oomph. We’re ready for some gentle, calm, “female” rain to sweeten that dry, dusty wind.

Spirit may have gotten a little enthusiastic at the spa. 🙂

Just looking at Chipeta doesn’t give much clue to the howling wind yesterday. The dust in the background ought to.

It was a peaceful, beautiful evening, but it wasn’t exactly *calm*.
