Silly, beautiful Winona always thinks she can hide behind something. 🙂
Mostly it’s because she has gotten so used to having her picture taken (or at least, me pointing a big black box and long tube at her), she rarely looks up from her grazing, and when she does, I have to act fast, even if there’s something distracting in the way. But for pix of this lovely mustang mare, it’s all worth it!
Maiku’s intense gaze is spooky … right?!
Well, I tried to find a scary mustang pic for Halloween, but I don’t think I succeeded. 🙂
Happy Halloween with all your spooks and ghouls!
I couldn’t choose between these two pix of Mariah … so I didn’t, and you get to see both!
And yes, that’s snow in the background. We got another couple of inches of the white stuff a couple of days ago, and just like the first time, it melted really fast. But this time, I got out in the mud to “chase” some ponies. 🙂 Fortunately, Mariah and her group were right near a road.
As always, we’re grateful for the infusion of moisture!
Is it weird that during these shortening autumn days, we wish for longer days to take in all the beauty?
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!
Even when immersed in joy in your current situation, don’t forget to take a bit longer view, too. 🙂
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 … !
