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.

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).

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.

Elder Duke

Duke, McKenna Peak and Temple Butte

Duke is a mustang classic. He has lived his entire wild life in Spring Creek Basin, with that familiar horizon. These days, he hangs out alone or with the younger bachelors. His presence is a gift for them and for us.

Tesora gleams like gold in the autumn afternoon sunlight.





Hello, little man!

4 11 2016

Seven greets Maiku.

Seven seems to be giving Maiku a funny look. It was just a moment the camera caught in the action of them approaching each other, but it *is* kinda funny. 🙂

The pintos, though well-proportioned, are generally smaller than the other mustangs in Spring Creek Basin.
