Fading days

29 10 2022

Is it weird that during these shortening autumn days, we wish for longer days to take in all the beauty?





Happy birthday, Mom!

Happy birthday to my mom, like Madison, family guardian, making sure we all get what we need and where we need(ed) to go. And handling it all with grace and beauty and patience (!). 🙂

Happy birthday, Mom! I love you!





Not to be missed

Even when immersed in joy in your current situation, don’t forget to take a bit longer view, too. 🙂





Recognizable

Hollywood, still lookin’ good at an estimated 20 years old. 🙂

Did I mention that Spring Creek Basin and Disappointment Valley got rain?

And then we got snow. 🙂 And before Halloween!

This was yesterday morning in Disappointment Valley, just beyond the rimrocks and southwest of Spring Creek Basin. No ponies-in-snow pix; too muddy, and that snow was melting fast! For fare somewhat different than you usually expect to see on this blog, please enjoy this mix of pix of golden cottonwoods crowned with good-as-gold moisture:

Gusty winds preceded a cold front that dropped temps and brought rain!

Sundance took it all like a pro. … A very handsome, very zen pro. 🙂

Someone is always watching … !





Girls of autumn

Piedra and Kestrel – and all their herd mates – are starting to put on their winter coats. … Ponies are getting fuzzy. 🙂





Pretty girl

Big ol’ knot in Alegre’s mane? Not a problem. She’s a beautiful mustang mare, and that just highlights her gorgeous wildness.

Another little dose of fall color – this time, cottonwoods along Disappointment Creek, which is *outside* Spring Creek Basin.

Winona and the mustangs are still finding plenty of grass – some even still green, as the cottonwoods turn gold – this fall, and that’s pretty awesome.
