May day memories

1 09 2021

It’s a lot greener now, on Sept. 1, than it was on Maia’s May 1 birthday. We’re very glad for the here and now. 🙂





That horse, that landscape

31 08 2021

Storm the magnificent. Even rocking his bizarre mohawk, he’s such a studly stud.

My heart is full.





Bestie girls

Sometimes you just need a friend to help you with an irksome itch. Temple and Madison have been best girlfriends for many years.





Goodly grazing

29 08 2021

It doesn’t get much better than sitting in a wild expanse on a summer evening, surrounded by horses, listening to the squeak of grasses being snipped and chewed. Spirit keeps a close eye on me while she grazes next to Hollywood. (Check out his leg stripes!)





Under the peak

28 08 2021

Raven and Terra nap on a sunny, mostly-blue-sky day in Spring Creek Basin. There’s still a hint of smoke in the sky, but it’s getting better all the time. 🙂





An ode to rain

27 08 2021

It’s our lifeblood, and it keeps us in the *green* of health!

This pic is from a week or so ago. We’ve had some blue-sky days again with smoke just on the edges.





Dessert

26 08 2021

A happy and cheerful bonus from the recent rains: sunflowers!

Corazon thinks so, too!

When any of the horses encounters one of the yellow-petaled beauties, they’re quick to eat them.





I see you

25 08 2021

You’re impossible to ignore, gorgeous. 🙂





Reflection perfection

24 08 2021

There might be too much muckety muck along the “shoreline” to truly reflect “perfection,” but how many times could I use that rhyme in a blog-post title?!

And Sundance? Of course, he puts the perfect in perfection, so really, it IS truth in advertising!





Earthly beauty

23 08 2021

The day after our full day of rain, we had some blue back in our sky. In other directions, the smoke was only too noticeable (it wasn’t missable, unfortunately), but coppery red Gaia against the blue sky with Temple Butte in the background is – smooch! – perfection!
