Hollywood makes goo-goo eyes at one of his mares.
They’re busily chasing green stuff, and while you have to be practically on top of it to see it, it’s there.

Tenaz is rough and scruffy at the end of winter. Days are longer and warmer … and as dry and windy as ever. Soon, we’ll see sleek and shiny ‘stangs. Our first little wildflowers of spring – phlox – just appeared in the last couple of days.

Temple was pretty focused on her evening rambling and browsing and had no time to spare for glamour shots. Because I find her beautiful in all ways and at all times, I took her picture anyway. 🙂

Maiku models his best tree pose as the sun sets into an actual cloud bank at sunset. We don’t have many clouds these days … and the ones we have don’t whisper rain. (It’s hard to realize it’s already so incredibly dry, and I’m sorry to harp on about it, but the collective power of prayer is strong … !)

Easter means springtime and renewal and, if we’re lucky, grass and wildflowers and other yummy green and growing things.
A year ago, this beauty, Ostara, was born on Easter. Blessed days to you all (and please, Mother Nature, some rain for our ponds!).

The Easter revelers are already out in Disappointment Valley in/on their buggies and wheeled vehicles that whine and growl and chug and make other noises that are annoying. (It’s worth acknowledging that the human(s) in control are largely responsible for the level of annoyance of such vehicles.)
Killian and his band had run from the road about an hour before I took this pic of him, far interior in the basin and away from any road. (And yes, they ran because the noise and annoyance level from two dirtbikes, a souped-up dirtbuggy and an ATV was excruciatingly high.) He was napping and watching one mare while his other mares grazed around him.
