Gold from the sky

We did get some sprinkles yesterday in a couple of light waves, mostly in the evening.

It’s all welcome, and we’re grateful for even the smallest amount of moisture.





Boulder magic

We have some cool rocks in Spring Creek Basin.

We have some cool mustangs in Spring Creek Basin.

We also have some magic, proved here by Skywalker, who used his Jedi mind-mastery to pick just the right time to look back at me as I was aiming my lens through the hole in this boulder at the base of Filly Peak. Because he’s just a cool mustang, and he’s all ours in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂

 





Happy Mother’s Day!

To all the moms who teach us all the important things in life … especially, that love is universal and magical.

Happy beautiful days, mothers! We love you!

Happy spring day to MY mom! I love you!

Curiosity in a little package

Little Spirit-girl has the sweetest, most inquisitive nature.

Sometimes, I think she has no idea she’s a tiny girl. Other times, she thinks a mostly-bare juniper tree can hide her cuteness!





Greying and blueing

People have been wondering (according to our news channel) if and when they can return to swimming pools this summer. The mustangs wonder whether they’ll have enough water to fill their pony pools.

Storm and his band and another couple of bands found a seep that has a nice little pony-size pool right in the middle of it, and, as the gnats are making their appearance (!), they’re using it as much as a wading pool as a place to drink.

It’s a bit mucky, and that’s why our boy looks a bit greyer than grey as he saunters after his band on a warming day in the springtime.





Moon over Hollywood

Our Hollywood is better looking and more socially distant. 🙂

‘Course, we don’t have an ocean. Tradeoffs, ya know.

Killian trots after his band as they made their way to a seep for their evening drink.





Wild boy in wild country

Storm walks down a steep ridge trail in the far eastern part of Spring Creek Basin. It may not look that steep, but you can see how much effort he’s putting into watching where he’s placing his hooves.
