Did someone say lovely? 🙂
Speaking of lovely, Disappointment Valley got some much-needed rain yesterday! A handful of waves of sweet-smelling rain left puddles and created rills of running water and gave vegetation the drink for which it has been waiting too long. Hopefully it’s an omen for a better autumn.
Could she BE any lovelier? A nearby band, coming over a hill, caught her eye – and caught her in mid-chew. 🙂
There’s not a wide enough lens made to really show the full beauty of Spring Creek Basin. But we’ll continue to do our best to show it off in pictures. 🙂
Another pretty poser. 🙂 Corazon likes to find awesome backgrounds, too. He’s very particular.
Of note: In the background at far right, you can see the 12,000-gallon tank associated with one of our two water catchments in the basin. Aprons on the ground collect rain water and snow, then funnel that water to the tank … then to a trough for the horses. We have two of these in the basin, and they provide the horses’ only sources of clean drinking water – the others are silty and salty.
Madison and Temple are never very far away from each other. Interestingly, their mamas also are besties.
Shadowlita again because, wary as she is, she does tend to get herself into positions that showcase some of Spring Creek Basin’s amazing horizons. 🙂 Here, Brumley Point and Temple Butte.
I like to tell people that our mustangs are rock stars.
Storm decided to go a bit punk. 🙂
Gotcha, mistress. 🙂
She grazed her way over a slight rise, beyond which I was waiting. Chipeta isn’t the easiest pony to capture on film (or digital media), so I’m always happy to get a pic of her doing anything but walking away or with her behind toward me!
Plump, pretty Tesora shows off her belly dapples.
Wait, belly dapples?! What?!
I can’t explain ’em, but there they are. 🙂 Many of the horses are dapply this year with thriving good health.
The world is glorious.
I’m sure you all agree. 🙂
