Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

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. 🙂

Sundance with his fabulous locks of flying mane.

Young Kwana looks mature in his silvering coat.

Hollywood finds comfort in Maia’s embrace.

She actually just walked into that position, and apparently it was easier for him to tuck his face into her shoulder than shift to get out of her way. 🙂

The morning of the day this photo was taken, the local world was covered in white. By the time this photo was taken, near sunset, the ground was nearly as dry as before it snowed. (Thanks, spring wind.)

As quickly as it arrived and then melted, we’re supremely glad for the moisture – and would relish the opportunity for more – soon!

… windy.

That’s not a swish of Skywalker’s tail; that’s the wind blowing it sideways.

Those snow-covered ridges in the far background are far away, indeed. They contribute water to their watershed(s), but it doesn’t reach Spring Creek Basin. We’re crossing fingers and hooves again for moisture to dampen the dust raised and scattered by the wind.

Winona flies with the wind through her mane.

She has a short flight distance. 🙂
