Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Mariah and Winona are shedding those winter coats.

It’s springtime in Spring Creek Basin!

The two horses in the foreground present a weird-ish sort of perspective – no, that’s not a two-headed horse. 🙂

They’re in one band; Maiku, in focus, is with another band, and there’s a third band in the distance. Not often are bands in Spring Creek Basin in this close proximity to each other, so when they are, it’s fun to try to capture the closeness.

Yeah, this is our Earth. 🙂

Skywalker watches a band from the edge of a big arroyo. He worked his way closer to the band over a bit of time; here, he’s getting the lay of the land and checking whether anybody is going to come out to greet him.

That’s Knife Edge in the background.

It’s a tough decision for a young bachelor: Go visiting with a nearby band stallion … or rush back to protect your band from another bachelor. (Maiku has a long-time attachment to a band that has a band stallion.)

His attachment won out, and peace reigned.

On a cloudy day, Puzzle rocks the basin – as always. 🙂

I so love her *look*!

Snow still covers the far, high country, and water still is flowing here in the low, warm country.

Hayden thinks it all looks good. 🙂

Shadow likes to maintain her disinterested distance.
