Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

How do they look so gorgeous … simply while grazing along??

Kestrel and Comanche: long-time lovers.

Tenaz models the handsomeness of glowing bay at the end of a day in Spring Creek Basin.

The ponies are just starting to show some fuzz. The nights are getting chilly.

Tesora walks past big boulders at the base of Filly Peak. The red lichen is pretty … but not nearly as pretty as she is. 🙂

What a POSER!

I mean that in the best possible way. 🙂

We’re still in drought category D4 – exceptional.

It’s still exceptionally dry.

Our mustangs are still exceptionally exceptional. Witness the above. 🙂

Wonderful, wise Winona.

Those blue skies clouded over yesterday, and we got some drips. Nothing huge … but some respite from the continuing heat and dry. And that’s good.

Pronghorn antelope aren’t hunted in our part of Colorado; there are too few of them.

We’re grateful for those that share our wild world.

Handsome Kwana pauses his grazing for mere moments with the basin’s west-boundary rimrocks lit up by the last minutes of evening sunlight in the background.

So gorgeous.
