Skywalker saunters after bands as another days slides toward night in Spring Creek Basin.
When evening shadows …

Peaceful Spirit

With mustangs like Spirit taking advantage of the dense, junglelike cover in Spring Creek Basin, it’s a wonder we ever find them at all.

Just like that

Storm and his band prefer the quiet places beyond the back of beyond. In the course of looking for them (and finding them, sometimes) in those places this year, they’ve shown me a number of seeps. Even after all these years and lots and lots (LOTS!) of wandering, they teach me how much I have to learn about this wonderful place they call home.
🙂 Who doesn’t love to learn new things? 🙂

They are the magic

Hollywood’s band on a bench just below the top of Round Top in Spring Creek Basin. The top is just above my right shoulder. This is looking basically northwestish, and the basin stretches across the middle background.

Mares wait for no stallion

Kwana follows his ladies away from their evening drink.
The mountains are clearer than they’ve been lately. Our temps dropped, which is lovely, but no clouds means no rain.

Studious stepping

Spirit places each hoof carefully on the slippery shale while walking down a fin of a ridge on the west side of Round Top. What they were doing up there – and they were up there! – only they know.
The view is fabulous, but the grazing is sparse!

Pick your left leg up …

… and shake off all the flies.
Lift your right leg up … and shake off all the flies.
Or maybe Comanche has invented a new rain dance! 🙂

White gold
10 10 2020
The inimitable Houdini climbs a hill after drinking with her band at the newest water catchment above Disappointment Road. That catchment is a few years old now, and during these exceptionally dry times, we’re as grateful for it as ever.
In the background are cottonwoods along (dry) Disappointment Creek (outside Spring Creek Basin).
Hurricanes and flooding; wildfires and destruction; drought and no rain in sight. And those are just the simplest to name. My heart aches for all those suffering.

Walking in sunlight

Killian is about to enter the shade from nearby Round Top. He’s so handsome, he carries his light with him.
