Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Dundee just looks so strong and fiercely wild here, doesn’t she?

I took this pic just about as the nearly full moon was rising over the basin’s northeastern horizon. It wasn’t that spectacular, really, but Dundee always is. 🙂

The lunar eclipse likely wasn’t visible from Southwest Colorado in the early morning hours because of cloudy skies. I’m not too upset; we did get a bit of moisture out of those clouds!

Mama Shane and pumpkin Odin grazing together. He enjoys the watchful and doting protection of all the “aunties” in the band, but sometimes he just likes to be near mama. 🙂

Pretty Mariah a few evenings ago, napping with her band.

It’s a good thing the horses still have their winter coats because while we haven’t gotten any sticking snow, Thursday, some squall waves passed through the region that left the ground at least damp. Up on the southern ridges of Disappointment Valley, there was actual snow and at least a temporary inch to 3 (?) of the white stuff, despite the strong wind (we even had an advisory) that blew it sideways. It was wet stuff, though, and we’re always grateful for ANY wet stuff.

The evening I spent with Mariah was fairly still, which was pretty nice.
