Kwana was watching another band … while trying not to look too interested as I was watching him. 🙂 What a cutie.

The tilt

Caught looking gorgeous on a perfect fall day: Comanche and Kestrel.
The little splash of yellow behind them is a turning-gold cottonwood along Disappointment Creek outside Spring Creek Basin Herd Management Area.

Pretty little Spirit always thinks she can hide.
Pretty little Spirit is so silly. 🙂 And so pretty!

A little yellow flash
14 10 2018
Possibly the worst bird photo ever.
…
But I LOVE that eye!
This little bird – possibly an immature yellow warbler? – fluttered down to the ground behind where I was sitting, watching a band of horses. When I turned around to determine the cause of the soft ruckus, this little beauty was hopping on the ground … then flew up to a sagebush. Of course, it managed to alight on the far side of the stalks, where it watched me watching it. 🙂 Love these littlest gifts from heaven.
When it flew away, I swear it did somersaults. Even Sundance turned to watch with what I can only assume was immense admiration.

He got it

Killian saunters across a flat to drink from a rain puddle while another band lingers in the background. He knows he’s all that. 🙂

The light of the rain

Double rainbow over Spring Creek Basin from Disappointment Valley Road, looking southeast.
Rainbow over Seven’s swale in Spring Creek Basin.
The other end of the above rainbow. … It was INTENSE.
Temple Butte and McKenna Peak in the very last light of the post-storm day.
Glorious. 🙂

Warm

The colors and the day pictured above with Reya were warm. Lately, the days have been cooler. And wetter. 🙂 And we’re kinda super happy about that.

Blessed are those who wait for rain

We’re not the most patient lot … but we just might be the most grateful. 🙂
Colorado Highway 141, across the top of the screen, runs across the broad, lower, northern end of Disappointment Valley. Southeast of the rightmost 141 marker and south of the open space in the green blob that is life-giving rain is Spring Creek Basin. The rain has fallen fairly steadily with small breaks since Saturday mid-afternoon.
The world as we know it is SOGGY. And it’s FABULOUS.
