Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Where, oh, where have you been, Storm the Wild and Handsome?

I did ask; he did not respond. 🙂 I think I can translate his implied answer: “Around.”

Well said, sir.

Continuing with the spotted theme, here are pretty pinto pony girls Spirit and Puzzle, looking like they’re about to start shedding annnnnnnyyyyyyyy minute now. 🙂

We’re still having spring-in-Colorado crazy weather with sunshine and clouds, and wind and cold and verging-on-sunburns – and blowing snow now and then for a hot (cold?!) minute.

There might be a tinge of green starting to show ever so slightly out there. The rest of the world looks green. We’re gettin’ there!

Maiku might have the best “do” in the basin. He rocks it. 🙂

Handsome Hayden is an old hand in front of the camera, and because he’s so nonchalant about the procedure, he’s notoriously hard to photograph.

I say that with great fondness, by the way. 🙂

So I was thrilled when I caught him looking back at me recently. See above.

Then he decided to show me how thrilled he was that *I* was thrilled. Heh.

Yeah, pal, I kept clicking.

“Don’t put that on the blog,” he says.

Too late, says I.

The folks at home love you. 🙂

Not sure what Mister Sundance got into, but he has a boo-boo.

He also has the cutest mustache in the wild. 🙂

It’s no longer winter in Spring Creek Basin, but in the far distance (to the south), you can see the source of some of our running water in this little part of the Colorado world.

So here we have one of our favorite little feisty pintos and a reminder of our wonderful winter … and great spring to come!

Harry Potter fans will get the above reference. And Shadow, well, she has her own wild magic. 🙂

How did young Kwana get so grey so fast? I can’t answer that, but he’s always been handsome. 🙂

Because she’s just gorgeously wild. 🙂
