Mysterium walks up out of a shallow arroyo while grazing with her family. Such a gorgeous girl.
Happy Memorial Day. To paraphrase a quote I’ve seen: Have fun on this holiday, and remember the sacrifices of those who made it possible.
Remember those who served and serve

Sundance watches Hollywood’s and Comanche’s bands near sunset on a windy day in Spring Creek Basin.

Say cheese!

While I was busy with the camera, my assistant was working the squeaky toy and the reflectors to get just the right light on our subjects.
Other than Tesora sticking out her tongue, as youngsters are wont to do, my assistant did a pretty good job with lighting and ears, don’t you think?
Thanks, Ma Nature. 🙂

23 05 2013Spring Creek Basin welcomes baby No. 2!
She’s Reya’s little girl and, I think, Corazon’s.
Baby and Reya, and Corazon trying to keep them away from bachelor Copper.
Big brother S’aka checks out baby sister. Reya’s little brother Maiku also still is with the band.
Love the bright white of a brand-new pinto baby.
Awww … Welcome to your world, baby girl. 🙂

Still blue

Kwana, 9 months old, still has blue eyes. Here, he’s feasting on scrumptious greasewood with “auntie” Winona behind him. Even with grass all around, they do love the greasewood.

Spring in his step
19 05 2013
Chrome on a windy, hazy, dusty day. Note the blooming cactus in the bottom right corner.
The claret cup cacti are starting to bloom in brilliant shades of scarlet.
The prince’s plume has come on in plentiful blooms, right on spring schedule.

She’s a peach
15 05 2013Or an apricot!
But that just doesn’t have the same ring to it for sweet girl Kootenai. Lovely.

Earth and Storm
14 05 2013
It sprinkled today, but you’d never know it. Gaia-girl and Storm, along with Cassidy Rain and Roja, were at the Sorrel Flats pond. Walking to the east-pocket pond (to the north) were Seven, Puzzle, Shadow and Tesora. That’s a little change of location for them. There was a lone pronghorn with them when I first saw them, but it didn’t follow them to the pond.
Roja is due to foal in a couple of days, but she doesn’t look imminently due. She lost her foal in 2012, so I’m basing her due date on the approximate time she should have foaled last year.
Some high, thin clouds allowed some light to filter down during the early evening, and it rims the girl in such a lovely way.
And because we can’t forget Miss Cassidy Rain:
She pops up over a little hill, and she gives ME the schnortle! She’ll celebrate her first birthday in early June.
