Happy Mother’s Day!

Raven and Skywalker

After yesterday’s post showing handsome Skywalker, I thought it would be fun to do a little throwback for this Mother’s Day.

Our mothers give us good beginnings to launch us into life. Mustang mothers are no different.

Thanks, Mom, for all you’ve done and all you continue to do. 🙂

Ah, the sweet days of spring. Cool weather, wind to keep the gnats away, naps in the shade, the promise of rain … what?! Yep, more rain came in the afternoon and evening.

Double, triple, quadruple yep – we are loving the moisture!

WordPress has lately gotten annoying on my end. My apologies if it translates also to your – the readers’ – end.





Dream time

While Ty was snoring a bit off to the left, Seneca was in the grip of dreams.

Humans dream of wild horses galloping wild across the range. Of what, oh what, do mustangs dream, napping upon that wild range?





Home, sweet

Seneca and Chipeta take a nap below Temple Butte.

A few minutes later, a little rain shower swept through, and we rushed for cover.

Well, they rushed. It was kinda funny to see tough mustangs making a run for the few trees in the area.

The rain didn’t last long. The naps lasted much longer. 🙂

Kreacher shows off the marks of a life wildly lived.

Disappointment Valley and Spring Creek Basin got a wonderfully relieving rain. The dehydrated earth is soaking it in, and more – hopefully – is on the way. The landscape is greener already. Seriously.

Happy, happy birthday to my “little” brother, Jeff! (He’s younger, but he’s taller!)





Don’t bother me …

Kwana

… I’m sleepin’ here.

Kwana – fully into his afternoon nap. His eyes were totally closed. His ears were somewhat active. He was completely confident that his pals, Kreacher (to the left) and Duke (to the right), would protect him.





Still my heart

Grey

Grey/Traveler struts his stuff below a still-stormy sky. The region got rain – finally – this past weekend. Amounts varied wildly and included rain, hail and snow. The thirsty earth already is dry again, but we’re enjoying crystalline days and glorious sunrises and sunset.





Looking forward

Such a look from sweet Jadi at the top of her basin home. Beyond is outside Spring Creek Basin, but it’s still part of Disappointment Valley.
