… your dreadlocks are getting caught on your ears.
Just another perfect – and extremely windy – day in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂

Temple and Temple Butte – and McKenna Peak – when we still had some snow. Pretty girl in pretty country.

Hollywood gives the squinty wild eye to another band nearby as sunshine and clouds dapple Spring Creek Basin.

Elk, deer, mustangs, oh my! And a lovely water hole – oasis in a parched land. Seven had to share his water … but he didn’t seem to mind too much.

Winter coats such as Kestrel’s are fading as spring’s winds bring (more consistent) warmer weather. Green grass is coming … though Spring Creek Basin and lower Disappointment Valley still are predominantly brown. Spring’s green is hopefully in our near future. 🙂

S’aka follows another band during a day of beautiful light in Spring Creek Basin.

Yesterday would have been the first day of the annual two-day work project for University of Missouri students to continue work on Spring Creek Basin’s southeastern boundary during alternative spring break.
But it snowed!
Interestingly enough, the nearly-all-day snowfall (snowblow?) left a grand total of … nada. 🙂 None of it stuck! The howling wind blew it somewhere between diagonally and horizontally, but the ground did end up a tiny bit damp, so it had to have done some good in the moisture category (?!).
Coming tomorrow: this year’s Mizzou crew, tackling the next section of boundary fence!
