Chipeta, by looking back at her admirer, invites us all to look at and admire her loveliness and that of the world beyond (southeast of) her Spring Creek Basin range.
Aren’t they lovely? 🙂
Oh, girl

Stash in the arroyo
20 05 2020
Winona looks like she’d rather not share her secret stash of green in a little arroyo in far eastern Spring Creek Basin. The rest of the band was napping while she wandered up a narrow, curvy arroyo and had it all to herself.
There’s some green out there, but the WIND … ! The howling wind is stirring the dust and leaching out the moisture we do NOT have any more of. And not a single sprinkle on the horizon.

Maiku and his band were practicing social distancing from another couple of bands in the area on this beautiful, golden evening in Spring Creek Basin.

Just that beautiful
18 05 2020
Storm was peacefully grazing along, and I was patiently watching to catch him in a better “pose” with that spectacular background, looking across Spring Creek Basin and Disappointment Valley, all the way to Utah! Maybe looking back to his mares or something.
Suddenly, the “something” happened, and he stopped with his head up, then performed a neat turn on the haunches and headed in the direction of the trees to the right. I never did figure out what caught his attention. But it gave me a nice little photo op of one of my very favorite boys with the La Sals still gleaming under a bit of snow in the distance.

Boulder magic
11 05 2020
We have some cool rocks in Spring Creek Basin.
We have some cool mustangs in Spring Creek Basin.
We also have some magic, proved here by Skywalker, who used his Jedi mind-mastery to pick just the right time to look back at me as I was aiming my lens through the hole in this boulder at the base of Filly Peak. Because he’s just a cool mustang, and he’s all ours in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂

Curiosity in a little package
8 05 2020
Little Spirit-girl has the sweetest, most inquisitive nature.
Sometimes, I think she has no idea she’s a tiny girl. Other times, she thinks a mostly-bare juniper tree can hide her cuteness!

Greying and blueing
7 05 2020
People have been wondering (according to our news channel) if and when they can return to swimming pools this summer. The mustangs wonder whether they’ll have enough water to fill their pony pools.
Storm and his band and another couple of bands found a seep that has a nice little pony-size pool right in the middle of it, and, as the gnats are making their appearance (!), they’re using it as much as a wading pool as a place to drink.
It’s a bit mucky, and that’s why our boy looks a bit greyer than grey as he saunters after his band on a warming day in the springtime.
