Mysterium the sweet.
Cannot even stand the cuteness of that squiggly baby mane!
And the lines above her eyes … they’ve stood out since she was born. Mama Kootenai has them, too, but they’re not nearly as out-standing.
Air of mystery

My beloved.
Isn’t he stunning? 🙂
Taken Thursday this week. That’s more snow coming in the background of the second pic.
Still has all his girls. He amazes me with his grace and beauty. I love them all … but HE is most beloved. 🙂

Tolerance …
12 02 2012… thy name is mother.
You thought witchy wind knots came from never-ending gusts of indiscriminate, wild, howling, desert bellows, didn’t you?
And now you know the truth of the matter. 🙂
Baby Aurora yummie-yummed on mama Alegre’s dreds for quite a long time before mama finally got tired and took the step or three necessary to put her just out of daughter’s reach … her lock of mane resting now dark and wet and thoroughly gummed against her shoulder. Baby-girl turned to find something more appetizing – and nutritious? – at ground level.

Corazon and no-name
12 02 2012
Corazon in the shade below sunlit unnamed promontory.
Corazon with Chipeta and Puzzle. His relationship with the horses – and band stallion Ty – continues to be a source of curious fascination to me. This young stallion (I think he’s probably around 6 now?) has free rein with the horses, and both he and Ty are relentless in keeping Copper away (when he’s with the band). Maybe he’s Kiowa’s son … which would make him half-brother of Reya and Maiku … or …?

Pretty Gaia.
Though this photo obscures her belly (I loved how the white fore- and background framed her bold color, centered by her wide, echo-the-snow blaze), she’s not particularly showing much yet. There’s a certain “firmness” there that I kept eyeing, though. She *should be* pregnant; daddy: Cinch.

Play!
11 02 2012Babies don’t need an excuse to play. But snow and crisp light make a good excuse to play!
Aurora kicking up snow!
When the tail flies, fun is being had!
Coming to rest between Corona and mama Alegre (barely visible at back left).
Baby at home with Brumley Point in the background.
Another update: Seven is back with Aurora’s daddy Bounce and young Tenaz. Duke and Kreacher are still a pair.

Background
11 02 2012From last week. It had snowed earlier in the day – lightly – and the sun was out and behind clouds, which made for interesting light.
Chipeta and Puzzle grazing in the shade with McKenna Peak looming in the sunshine above them.
They were separate from Copper this day. I hope he reunited with them.
