Dismissed

Comanche at the end of the day.

Comanche gives me the dismissal blink as he turns away from giving me any more attention than necessary – which wasn’t quiiiite long enough to catch his handsome face looking directly at me with ears perked. 🙂

Tesora and Puzzle; Brumley Point and the unnamed promontory.

Tesora and Puzzle look fat and shiny below Brumley Point and the unnamed promontory – which happen to be lined up perfectly from this perspective but are, in fact, two different land forms!





Rain = grass

Kwana face deep in Indian ricegrass.

A little rain goes a looooooooong way in Spring Creek Basin! For Kwana, it’s just a long lip grab away!

The Indian ricegrass and needle-and-thread loved those May showers … and yes, we have June flowers (delay? what?!). 🙂





Not quite brave

Gaia and Cassidy Rain

Cassidy Rain peeks over Gaia’s back. Staying behind mama is comforting to the big girl. Love those pretty girl faces. 🙂

The ponies are slick and shiny – just in time for 90-degree weather!

Chrome

Doesn’t Chrome make a handsome backdrop to a glowing bunch of Indian ricegrass? The rain has done wonders for the grasses in Spring Creek Basin, and a variety of wildflowers have bloomed recently. The mustangs reap the benefits!

Chrome and Kwana

Chrome tolerates a little attention from Kwana.  And maybe not totally patiently. Check out those nostril wrinkles!
