Skywalker and Kwana

No matter the species, boys WILL be boys. 🙂 Skywalker had had enough nonchalant napping and pretty-picture posing. One of the funniest parts of this photo-taking episode was watching him get Kwana’s attention with the above behavior, then trot away in an effort to get Kwana to chase him.

Pretty Puzzle pony under sunset-painted rocks.

Please pardon the random blog posts lately; chalk it up to poor Internet service.

Continuing with the mane theme … SunnyD’s also is enviable.

Who else but Hollywood with that mane?

Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by multiple big wildfires burning throughout the West. Wildlife also are in the fires’ paths … 27 mustangs died in a fire south of Boise, Idaho. Heartbreaking.

 





His royal greyness

Comanche

Comanche

He wasn’t torqued at the little bird (flocks of which were following the ponies for handouts – err, hoofouts?); he was moving his ponies through the rain. Something about the pic, his posture – his *greyness* against his dark mane and forelock, the rainy day – just grabbed me. He’s such a hunk!

Piedra & Grey

Two kinds of relief: Rain, and gettin’ down and dirty.

Belated happy birthday to my awesome dad!





The direction of life

Kestrel (seeming to listen to the sound of Spring Creek running after the rain).

Kestrel

A portrait of wisdom. Lovely, lovely girl. She’s another one that seemed to look now and then toward the sound of water – Spring Creek flowing with life-giving water.

Down to the bare necessities: grass, rain, shade (they make do with less) – wild.





Under the rainbow

Hollywood, Alegre and Houdini (barely seen in back) under a rainbow in Spring Creek Basin.

Our treasures.

We could hear water rushing through the meanders of Spring Creek below the hill and across the basin. Wowza. Now and then one of the horses would look up and stare across the basin toward the creek. The sound must have sounded amazing to them, too.
