Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Buckeye and his band have gone deep into the east (the McKenna Peak Wilderness Study Area part of Spring Creek Basin) to find water and forage without competition (smart), so I don’t see them nearly as often as I always have before. It’s always great to see them (Aiyanna above), no matter where they are or how long between sightings.

As opposed to star dust, you know. 🙂

It’s hot out there, folks. The temp yesterday in Disappointment Valley hit 101F, according to my vehicle. Ugh. So hot. So dry. Trying to be patient waiting for rain.

Above and below, on a rather still, very pleasant evening, so not much waving (other than swishing at normal summer buggies).

Buddies Skywalker and Tenaz, napping together on a golden evening.

Mz. Winona watches over mustangs from a neighboring band while she naps in the golden light of a windy evening in Spring Creek Basin.

Tenaz and Skywalker have an evening debrief while following the girls from water to grazing. Every now and then, it’s good to check in with your friends.

Completely unbothered, Mariah grazes into the sunset on yet another very warm (90F), very windy, red-flag/fire-weather watch/warning day in Spring Creek Basin. … And at least today and tomorrow are facing the same watch/warning.

Some rain, please??
