It won’t be long before Terra sheds her “beard” for summer sleekness. 🙂

Chipeta keeps an eye on me with her band nearby. She never relaxes her guard, this wise, old girl. 🙂

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.
