Temple moon

From Space.com: “The November full moon will be the closest and brightest moon of the year.“

Be like Temple, and get out and enjoy it Wednesday night (the above pic was taken Monday evening). 🙂

Where they are, he is

Skywalker looks back down at the band from where he’d grazed up onto a hill.

He grazed a bit more, then rejoined them at the base of the hill. The grass may be “greener,” but where the band is … that’s where the (his) heart is. 🙂

Spooky

While this looks like a spooky shot of Buckeye in the moonlight with blue twilight sky behind him … it’s actually the last daylight and a pond’s water reflecting the sky!

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Big gulp

It was really great to see this wonderful old guy.

Sundance lost his band earlier this spring, and he’s been wandering alone since then. He seems to be all right, but he’s thin, and he shows zero interest in being around other horses.

I was really glad to see the pond so full that he could walk in, up to his knees, and just drink and drink and drink. And he did.

I sat on the bank; he didn’t mind me at all. I’m sad to see him in perhaps his twilight year(s), but I was really glad to see my old friend.

Eye to eye

Sancho and Skywalker have a friendly chat that was over in seconds.

Sancho is definitely low-man among the bands in the big group, but he doesn’t seem to mind as he mostly trails along behind, peacefully grazing and staying out of most conflicts.
