S’aka blows steam on a nippy evening in Spring Creek Basin. Remnants of our first snowfall linger still on the shadowed sides of hills and ridges. The cold temps that turned rain to snow also linger! But the horses are in fine shape as fall turns to winter.
Mm hmm. Hunk. 🙂
Beautiful mustang. Beautiful mountains. Beautiful light.
Really, another image of Mysterium trotting across a ridge below the La Sals is not “too much.”
Hunky Storm is a mellow fellow, ambling after his band. The breeze was up, but it was all about the light that evening.
Another sweet face is Juniper’s. She was born dark, dark.
Doesn’t Mysterium have the sweetest face? She was definitely “guard mare” that evening, keeping a wary eye (both eyes) peeled for whatever might threaten the band.
The dark behind her is the shadowed north wall of a ridge. It served to highlight her perfectly.
Though Gaia’s shadow covers most of Cassidy Rain’s pretty face, there’s just enough open to the sunshine to produce a glimmer in her eye. But Gaia’s is covered by her forelock. 🙂
Do you think they’re proud of how their babies grow up? I sure am!
Cassidy Rain. My goodness, she’s beautiful. She is her mother’s daughter.
Isn’t she gorgeous? Her rich, thick copper coat, lit by the low autumn sun, makes Gaia seem to glow from within.
Magic.
Remember the pic of the badger a couple of months ago, then the pic of Ty with his ears pricked? It didn’t take a badger to get some animation out of Mysterium for this pic, though. A lone mule deer doe did the trick. I’m not sure *why* Mysterium was so interested, but the whole situation sure provided a cool freeze-frame of time and place and horse and light.
