A bachelor stands sentinel between two bands at the base of Filly Peak at sunset in Spring Creek Basin.

Aspen stands at peace with his hip cocked while watching a band a little below the ridge he was on. McKenna Peak is giant in the background. The other band was napping in the shade of a juniper tree, but Aspen didn’t seem to mind the sunshine.

Little Tesora is glorious, yes? 🙂

Comanche stands guard over his band, alert to all comers, whether his lieutenant stallion or a stallion from a neighboring band.

The wind has been howling. We’re under red-flag warnings almost every day.
We need the relief of rain and beauty.
Temple = beauty. Check. 🙂

The news of the day in Disappointment Valley is RAIN.
The addendum is WIND.
But we still got rain. 🙂 It soaked in pretty much immediately, but there were a few puddles in places that the wind couldn’t suck up immediately.
Houdini, Alegre and Maia took advantage of the rain and damp ground to get in some good, wriggly rolls.

What stories can this guy tell? 🙂 Handsome Storm is the strong, silent type.

Could it be any more brown out there? At least Chipeta breaks it up nicely with her brown-and-white loveliness!

Terra looks like she could be doing the basin shuffle, enticing the rain to fall over us in Spring Creek Basin? Maybe if we all join her, we might feel the moisture. 🙂
