Kwana, and all wild horses, wild burros, wild animals, know their home country. And it knows them. Lives and places – intertwined.
We have a lot to learn.
In his element

Little snow pinto
13 01 2017
We had snow once upon a time. Then it was warm, and the wind howled, and the snow melted. So Ma Nature put it back in our forecast. 🙂
When we had snow, it didn’t phase S’aka much. It won’t bother him when it comes again.

That look
11 01 2017
My gosh, isn’t she gorgeous? Mariah in all her mustang-ness is a classic beauty.
(Moment of photo-geekiness: Do you love the snow bokeh in the background? Delicious.)
This post is dedicated to my friend Roy, who named Mariah when she was a baby. 🙂

Another long view
10 01 2017
Another visual puzzle for ya’ll. 🙂 Do you see the two wildlings?
Psst … lower right.
It’s a big, beautiful land, and the moisture is seeping in.

Do you see what I see?

Beauty, yes. 🙂
Do you spot the spotted ponies? They’re in a line at lower center.

Fuzzy ol’ Ty helps show off that promontory in the background.

Spotlight-worthy
5 01 2017
Tesora helps show off another unnamed promontory, farther up the valley. Behind her is the shadowed ridge of Brumley Point, and above and beyond that is our previously unnamed promontory, now called Temple Butte in honor of Pati and David Temple, who advocated tirelessly for Spring Creek Basin’s mustangs (David still does, and Pati spreads her angel’s wings over our blessed basin).
The very last light lit up that promontory, and it was hard to balance its brightness with the already shadowed foreground – and mustangs. So that’s not snow; it’s very-bright sunshine spotlighting the golden rock of the promontory.

The light that shines
3 01 2017
Grey and brown are our colors of late. We’ve been waiting for this big snowstorm that has been in the forecast for days, but it hasn’t hit us yet. Meanwhile, we have plenty of moisture (aka mud). 🙂
And every now and then, a ray of light.

Our horizon, our world

S’aka pauses for a pony nap on top of the world. Not a bad place to stop and smell the clean wind. 🙂
