Aspen

Aspen pauses for a moment to check out his neighbors. Usually, he’s always on the move. (He’s a bit of a micro-manager.)





Snow, anyone?

Mariah, McKenna Peak and Temple Butte

Winter has not forgotten us after all!

Yesterday was typical Colorado: Wind, significant temperature drop, sunshine, wind, whiteout snowstorm for about 45 minutes, clearing, wind, clouds, sunshine, wind, perfect sunset. Just add mustangs. 🙂

What’s not to love about a perfect day like that??

It – “winter” – didn’t last long, of course, but it’s early yet. 🙂

Houdini

Houdini-love has been visiting the spa. For all our lack of rain, we still have water for mustangs in Spring Creek Basin.

Hollywood

Sometimes, what glitters IS gold.

Hollywood was grazing on a hill above an arroyo, which resulted in the glittery vegetation in front of him when he tried to evade the lens – which he almost managed. 🙂

Even in the simplest movements, there is beauty in this world.





Attention, caught

Terra

Terra’s attention was captured by another band nearby. The last bit of sunshine was just clearing the rimrocks to light her sweet mustang ears.

The little studly has a magnificent strut. 🙂





Waiting and watching

Comanche

Comanche the bold.

The third rifle season is nearing its end. Hunters already are leaving. “Where are the deer and the elk,” they’re asking. It’s too warm and too dry for them in Disappointment Valley. They’re staying high(er).





Into a new day

Election 2016 is history – and historic.

May the new president find peace to overcome the anger that has been so prevalent during this election cycle. (This post was scheduled before the election was decided.)





Walkin’ near water

Reya

Barely visible behind Reya are the La Sal Mountains of Utah. Although a few ponds in Spring Creek Basin are dry at the end of this dry fall, this particular pond has a good amount of water for the mustangs. We did get a bit of welcome rain a couple of days ago, but our abundant sunshine signals a return to dry and fairly warm conditions.
