Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Storm made an appearance. 🙂

Rowan at sunset.

The clouds are trying to deliver monsoon moisture through the layers of heat and haze. … Trying …

Another one of Winona from gorgeous solstice evening. Just because she’s beautiful, as is her high-desert home.

Tenaz’s “smile” is a little wonky from chats with other stallions, but it’s part of his character and never-give-up attitude. We can all learn something from that. 🙂

A little bit of peek-a-boo in this sliver of a shot of Temple and a bandmate browsing on greasewood. Just a quiet peek-a-boo moment into a sliver of their common lives.

Handsome Sundance was grazing near a water source, and I was happy to see him. He’s showing his age these days (probably at least 20), but he seems to be doing well.

Another version of “you shall not pass,” this featuring Tenaz, who was (and is) keeping Skywalker away from his young mares and the rest of the band. Skywalker was away from the band for a while, but he has returned as of earlier this year. He keeps everybody on their toes (hooves).

While her stallion was busy protecting another mare in the band at a water source, Mariah took it upon herself to act as protector of the whole band against a stallion who was semi-patiently waiting in the wings with his own mare to get a nice, cool drink of water.

The quiet female force that gets things done when the guys aren’t looking. 😉

Flash returns to his band after a chat with a neighboring stallion near a water source.

Love the soft light and his quiet determination.
