Another image of Tenaz from the windy evening a few evenings ago – and highlighting McKenna Peak and Temple Butte (this was after the rain and before the snow!).

Flyaway
3 04 2026
By the state of Tenaz’s flying tail, you can see how windy it ended up Wednesday as the rains were clearing.
And can you see the green blush? It’s harder to see through the images than it is to see in reality.

April magic – no foolin’
2 04 2026We got rain. 🙂
Later, as the sky was clearing, while waves of rain were still pushing across Disappointment Valley, the magic appeared:
The wide, wide, super-wide views. Even with my phone, I had to go wiiiiiide to get the entire rainbow – and its double – in view.
My unicorn (otherwise known as Winona). 🙂
Yesterday might have been April Fools’ Day, but the magic was real! SO incredibly thankful for the rain (very light but most of the day … and after dark again). The world instantly looks greener.

Eating her greens
1 04 2026
Pretty palomino girl Rowan in the very-green budding greasewood. The mustangs LOVE greasewood, and I have to think there’s no better taste (palatability?) than when it’s first budding and yummy after a long season of it being just a woody shrub.
Happy April 1!

Shhh … napping
27 03 2026
Quiet girl Piedra on a gorgeous evening when there was still snow on the far (FAR and well outside Spring Creek Basin) ridges. Most of the band was napping, and it was just beautifully peaceful. (I forgot about this pic, but Piedra, in her peaceful semi-slumber, deserves to be seen.)

For want of a second
26 03 2026
Half a second after Buckeye had been pulling a handsome-wild-stallion pose with McKenna Peak and Temple Butte behind him (as we’re viewing him), looking at his mares, actually behind him (as he’s standing), he dropped his head. … Which was half a second too late for me to photograph *that* moment.
Still … he’s a handsome wild stallion with McKenna Peak and Temple Butte behind him – as we see him. 🙂

The magic is in knowing the wild things are in the wild places.

Is Juniper the poster mare for Spring Creek Basin or what?!
Yes. Yes, she is. 🙂
