Chasing ‘wabbits

Reya

Would you believe that Reya took off in pursuit of a rabbit?

Who needs cows to wrangle when you have jackrabbits?!

(Seriously. The horses alerted, and I caught sight of it hopping off just before the horses took off at a gallop, heading straight for it. They didn’t go far, and no rabbits were hurt during the pursuit. :))

Seven

Seven walks a trail down to Spring Creek, which wasn’t flowing … but would run – just a little bit – a couple of days after this photo was taken.

Why did Seven walk the cliff to cross the creek?

To visit the bands on the other side, of course! 🙂

Gaia

We’ve had some rain.

We still have gnats.

In case you wondered. 🙂

Of course, the beauty is worth the beasts!





Little handsome

Maiku; Temple Butte and Brumley Point

Maiku struck a handsome pose just below some icons just after some (more) rain. 🙂

Third-day-in a-row rain.

It’s mahhhhhhhvelous, dahlings!

I think it’s already greener.

Shane

Shane seems to be taking in the beauty of her world. And why not? It’s beautiful … and it’s home.





Finally, wet stuff

In the illustration above, you can see heavy rain directly smack dab right on top of Spring Creek Basin. The long yellow-red blob in the middle of the screen covers the far eastern part of the basin (and more). 🙂

This is the first honest-to-goodness RAIN in 53 days.

It was pretty awesome. 🙂 It’s a huge relief.

Comanche

What’s Comanche so happy about?

Spring Creek Basin got sprinkles. 🙂

(That “hazy” grey background is sprinkly stuff. Not exactly “rain” … but gettin’ there.)

And the weatherman says we might be on track to finally get our monsoons. The rain can’t come soon enough. Lots and lots of fires are burning throughout the West. The one nearest to Disappointment Valley may have gotten dampened by some rain on Saturday.

Prayers are with all who are evacuated from their homes and/or closely watching fires in or near their communities.

Storm

Yes, big boy, all eyes really ARE on you!

Handsome Storm gives me the eyeball after he checked out – and added to – a nearby stud pile.





Who ‘dat?

Ty

Ty seems to be craning to see who’s pointing a big black box and white tube at him. He cracks me up. 🙂 (There was nothing between us to block his view.)





Easily beautiful

Alegre and Houdini

Spring Creek Basin’s cover girls: Alegre and Houdini.

Alegre might have gotten a little dusty between model takes, but gosh. Gorgeous!
