You may think Comanche was caught mid-blink, but in several shots, he has this same expression. The horses do tend to let a sun-facing eye “droop” slightly – to help combat the brightness, probably. But this expression, that face, that boy, make me smile. 🙂
Sometimes, really, words fail.
Winter Storm Kayla delivered a fair bit of snow to Southwest Colorado – “a fair bit” measuring quite a bit more (or less) depending on your actual location. Lower Disappointment Valley was on the lower end of that receiving scale, but we’re still pretty happy with the moisture.
This is a grand Colorado winter!

Beautiful Kestrel never fails to impress. She’s as lovely and wise as her mama.
Oh, that charmer. 🙂

Please forgive the posting delay; Winter Storm Kayla is making things difficult for my Internet satellite dish. Otherwise, I’m loving her dearly! (Hugs to my beautiful cousin Kayla in California – from where all this fantastic moisture is coming!)
Piedra cracks me up, pretending she has an itch so she can keep an eye on what’s going on behind her. Horses don’t lie? Maybe not, but they’re capable of multitasking!
Oh, does your heart sing at the simple – beautiful – sight of mustangs on the vast landscape?
Seneca doesn’t seem pleased with her choice of shelter from the wind that brought flying snow and graupel during a brief squall last week. Finally, she galloped and bucked her way through the storm to join her friends, resulting in the out-of-focus photo previously posted.
Black-Shadow girl wears her snow splendidly.
While it was snowing over Spring Creek Basin, the ridges to the far south were still spotlit by sunshine. The whiteout didn’t last long, and pretty soon, the whole area was back in Mother Nature’s spotlight.
With his fuzzy black-and-white coat, the squall never bothered stout Corazon at all; this was one of the few pix where his head is up, not down grazing.
