Velvety girl Cassidy Rain will be shedding soon. … Maybe I should say that she’ll be *shed out* soon. The ponies are responding to light and warmth. Hot days will be here soon. Hopefully with accompanying rain.

Since the girls from Sand Wash Basin arrived, Dundee, who is a year older than Aiyanna and Rowan, has taken a very protective role. Aiyanna warmed up pretty quickly to Buckeye, but Dundee has been more protective of her girls and a little slower to warm up to Buckeye. So on this day, I was kind of quietly thrilled to see her and Buckles getting a little more friendly.

As much as I actively try to catch the light shining through Kwana’s clear blue eyes, it ends up being a random head turn that enables to light to shine so clearly through. 🙂

Happy Earth Day!
Do something kind for yourselves and Earth – our own, collective home range – today!

Sometimes, the light is of such quality that reality is rendered more painterly than realistically. And then even masters admire the works of art created by our Mother Nature.

Besties Piedra and Kestrel share a quiet moment on a quiet evening on their home range. For them, everything.

Mustangs and light and Spring Creek Basin in Disappointment Valley … all the way to Utah.
Perfection!
From their birth-range of Sand Wash Basin, within sight of Wyoming, to Spring Creek Basin, within sight of Utah, Dundee, Rowan and Aiyanna have come a long way … and continue to live wild and free. 🙂
Renewal of seasons, affirmation of wild.
Happy Easter. 🙂
