A couple of dear hearts

14 02 2022

Sundance and one of his new mares drink at a pond with the day’s last light glowing on them. Look closely, and you can see his mane draped over her neck as she’s drinking from the same hole in the ice at the edge of the pond. 🙂





Two views, two pretties

13 02 2022

Pretty little Spirit mirrors Temple Butte.

But wait. … Who’s that in the background?

She’s not one to steal the spotlight, our Houdini. … Fortunately for us, she can’t *escape* the spotlight every now and then. 🙂





Trailing

12 02 2022

Buckeye and Dundee wait for Rowan and Aiyanna to mosey down the trail that will take them to a pond for their evening drink under a moody sky. … Moody but not moisture-bearing.





Lazy days of … winter?!

11 02 2022

Grey, grey and brown. Fortunately, the greys help take our minds off the browns!

Pretty days now, though, are gonna make for some hard days to come this summer. …





Light ‘n lovely

Sundance and his lovelies gather at the neighborhood watering hole with the folks from down the way.





Bright boy

There’s a whole lotta brown out there in Spring Creek Basin these days. And because these days are in February, that’s a cause for a fair bitta concern.

Fortunately, we have Hollywood to liven up the scene. 🙂





Round Top, round mustang

8 02 2022

I love to see a round mustang in winter. 🙂

The UFO-looking hill in the background is called Round Top (though a friend calls it Saucer (as in Flying) Hill, and I wish I’d known that name first!). Hiking up to the top provides a wonderful view of most of Spring Creek Basin (and well beyond).





Walkin’ on sunshine

The very last light illuminates the bare essentials.





Peeking

Sly Kestrel thinks she’s sneaking up on me in an arroyo.





Little red

It’s always good to see a bright splash of color in our brown land. 🙂
