Glow-friends

Temple and Madison glow in evening’s last light. I don’t know where they found the mud, but I’m glad to see it!





Little girl, big impact

Some of our littlest friends have the biggest presence. Sweet Spirit always makes us smile.





Golden boy

The stallion, the myth, the legend.

Hollywood of Spring Creek Basin.

Handsome. 🙂





Great big heart

Our Corazon heads into the wind on a glowing evening.





Across the top

23 05 2020

The day I took this pic was yet another red-flag-warning day (strong winds, low humidity, warm temps – ripe for high fire danger), but Gaia looks unruffled as she follows the band while grazing along the top of a hill.

Gaia emerged from winter looking a bit lean and scruffy, but with a diet of even sparse spring greens, she’s looking very healthy.





Oh, girl

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? 🙂





Stash in the arroyo

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.





Seasons turn

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

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.





Spotlight, on
