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.
Another long view

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

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. 🙂

Happy 2017!

Walking into a new day
31 12 2016
Worldwide, and on the home ranges of wild horses and burros, 2016 was a fairly tough year. It was a pretty darn good year in Spring Creek Basin, but I’ve heard a number of people say how glad they are to put 2016 behind them, and they hope 2017 will be better.
I count my blessings every day for this life I love, that I get to live among wild creatures in a stunningly wild place (which has its own human challenges). So in saying good-bye to one year and looking forward to the new, hopefully gratitude will remain my best attitude. With the horses reminding me every day how beautiful is this amazing natural, wild world, that doesn’t seem to be a resolution that will be at all difficult to keep. 🙂
Farewell, 2016!

Lookee here, handsome

Copp’ry Copper on a glistening winter day full of snow … and mud. But the mucky stuff didn’t deter this intrepid mustang tracker from enjoying the day and the mustangs. 🙂 And it was a beautiful day with beautiful horses!

Great, gorgeous, golden girl

The look of ages. Sweet Kestrelita.
It was very windy during the days leading up to Christmas, and that and the warm temps helped melt the snow on the yonder hills.
