Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Whew, working in the heat makes us sleepy. Time for a nap. 🙂

Despite the heat and the dry and the worry, the beauty isn’t too hard to find in our desert world of mustangs.

Some of it is good brown – a la Tenaz, handsome, shiny bay boy! – and some of it is showing its *dry*.

It’s hot, folks. Hot and dry and … well, dry and hot.

Still, there’s beauty to be found, and the mustangs are adaptable and resilient.

This was Storm’s reaction to the attention-getting pronghorn buck in yesterday’s post. He didn’t expend too much energy, watching it with his family, all napping in the shade of some pinon trees.

Killian also took the very briefest of moments to look up with a rainbow far southeast of Spring Creek Basin, just peeking out of a corner of cloud as rain fell farther north.

How’s that for some “fireworks” on our Independence Day!?

Ms. Chipeta looked up at just the right time to pose under a low rainbow over Spring Creek Basin a couple of nights ago. We *did* get rain before that rainbow … maybe an hour earlier, gentle sprinkles. Relief, in so many ways.
