Our autumn light is divine … and our skies are full blue without a hint of the rain we need badly. Nights are getting chilly, and days are close to perfect, temperature-wise.

In the sunshine, it was warm enough for a T-shirt. As the sun sank lower, I was glad I had a fleece jacket!

Two golden girls, enjoying a golden evening in a golden place on our big blue ball. 🙂

It’s hard to acknowledge hate when surrounded by love in and for the natural world.
The planet – our home – is worth fighting for.
Fight for love. Fight WITH love. Everything you do with that in your heart, it’s worth something.

Of course, we have our own handsome beefcakes right here in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂
Killian is one of our very handsomest young stallions. (Yes, OK, I say that about all of them, young or otherwise!)

Did someone say lovely? 🙂
Speaking of lovely, Disappointment Valley got some much-needed rain yesterday! A handful of waves of sweet-smelling rain left puddles and created rills of running water and gave vegetation the drink for which it has been waiting too long. Hopefully it’s an omen for a better autumn.

Could she BE any lovelier? A nearby band, coming over a hill, caught her eye – and caught her in mid-chew. 🙂

There’s not a wide enough lens made to really show the full beauty of Spring Creek Basin. But we’ll continue to do our best to show it off in pictures. 🙂

Another pretty poser. 🙂 Corazon likes to find awesome backgrounds, too. He’s very particular.
Of note: In the background at far right, you can see the 12,000-gallon tank associated with one of our two water catchments in the basin. Aprons on the ground collect rain water and snow, then funnel that water to the tank … then to a trough for the horses. We have two of these in the basin, and they provide the horses’ only sources of clean drinking water – the others are silty and salty.
