Between storms

Aspen trots back to his band, which was near another band, as a wave of rain approaches Spring Creek Basin.

Still shaggy
5 04 2017
Brumley Point looks like some kind of dormant volcano in this stormy image of spotted girls Spirit and Puzzle.
We’re so grateful for the rain we’ve gotten lately in Southwest Colorado, and particularly in Spring Creek Basin and greater Disappointment Valley. This is the fuel our grasses need to feed our wildlife.
Though they’re shedding, the horses still have shaggy coats. Nature knows what it knows. We watch it unfold with great anticipation.

Maia was in the shade of a coming rain-wave while Temple Butte glowed in sunlight from a minute break in the clouds.

Flirt

For just about every photo I take of the horses, in Spring Creek Basin, my impulse for a blog post is to type “handsome,” “gorgeous,” “beautiful,” “phenomenal,” “stunning” …
And who would blame me?
🙂
Kwana is all of those and more. So very much, wonderfully more. They all are!

It did. 🙂 Rain, that is.
Love, love, love, LOVE the moisture!

No joke

This photo isn’t cropped; that’s how I shot it. In trying to highlight S’aka’s curly-with-rain mane, I just aimed and hit the shutter.
Happy April Fool’s Day. Do something true that makes you happy!

Soggy … wonderful
29 03 2017
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 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. 🙂

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!
