Soggy … wonderful

Winona and Mariah; La Sal Mountains.

It wasn’t at all soggy when this photo of Winona and Mariah was taken, last weekend, but it IS soggy now.

It was so soggy, and with more rain in Tuesday’s forecast, that the University of Missouri students – here again for alternative spring break! – canceled yesterday’s work in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂 But tomorrow calls for sunshine and high temps in the 50s, so we’re looking forward to meeting this year’s crop of hard-working students and getting some more fence work done!

We are VERY happy about the rain. It brings us to nearly an inch of moisture for the month of March. (Yikes. March is supposed to be the wettest month in Colorado.)





A glow

Hayden, La Sal Mountains

Hayden spent most of our visit napping over a stud pile.

Dude, that’s not very photogenic.

Then he turned and looked at a nearby band as I was walking away. Thanks, pal. 🙂

Killian

Handsome young stallion Killian had places to go down the hillside and across the arroyo and up the hillside on the far side. There was no stopping for the paparazzo!





Green, seen

Eating grass.

That’s the good stuff.

Eating grass.

That’s the green stuff, about-to-be-gone stuff. 🙂

Relief.

Gratitude.





Model good looks

Storm, Temple Butte

Do you love that face? What’s not to love?!

Temple Butte, of course, is always gorgeous when it plays backdrop to one of our stunning mustangs … in this case, Storm.

Spirit and Puzzle

Can’t go wrong with mustangs, water and that amazing skyline in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂

McKenna Peak is the sunlit pyramid at left, and Temple Butte is in the shade at right. Spirit and Puzzle are the spotted girls in the foreground.





Sweet spot

Hollywood

To find Hollywood in the viewfinder is always to find the sweetest spot. 🙂





Happy spring!

Gaia

The snow on those ridges in the background is rapidly disappearing under our sunshine and near-80-degree temperatures.

It’s just March. It feels like June. Gettin’ scary.

Happy first day of spring!

It won’t be long before our fuzzy ponies will be sleek and shiny again.
