It’s hard to hide when you choose this kind of “camouflage.”
Seven, Puzzle and Shadow against the La Sal Mountains.

If you haven’t noticed, I love shooting toward the sun – all the better when a mustang comes between us!
Handsome baby Kwana glows in the last light of the day.

Happy birthdays to my departed Fredy, to Ze (named for Fredy (registered name)), to my dad’s cousin Lois Ann and my mom’s Aunt Norma.

No births yet in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂

Let’s go that way
5 04 2013
Chrome snakes Terra to follow Kwana toward Winona, who was grazing a little distance away.
The story behind the story involves the dots behind these two in the distance. See them? Way back left of Chrome?
When I first saw those two dots, they were three dots: two grey, one dark (bay): Chrome and Kreacher and Duke. And yes, they’re really about as far away as they appear, so Chrome had left his girls and his boy to have a little man-to-man-to-man chat. I parked not far away and walked out on a trail, and I was sitting on said trail at the moment I pressed the shutter on this shot. I reached his girls and boy before he did.
Kreacher and Duke went on grazing as peacefully as Terra and Kwana and Winona, even after Chrome returned to reassert his “dominance.”

Copper caught in the light looking toward David.
Some bachelors, like Copper, attach themselves to bands (and he seems to float between Ty’s and Corazon’s now that they’ve split). Some bachelors stick together, like Duke and Kreacher and Aspen, Hayden, Tenaz and Apollo. And some bachelors, like David and Poco, seem to like being by themselves – or like it better than being on the edge?
Not long after the horses watched David walk to water, Copper trotted on down the hill. But when I saw David later, Copper wasn’t with him. And Ty’s band was down the hill in the other direction. Copper likes company, though, so I’m sure he returned to one band or another.

Maiku framed

Maiku, well-framed by the unnamed promontory, one of Spring Creek Basin’s dominant landmarks.
He and the rest of the band were watching David walk to water in the distance. David is alone since losing Shadow and Puzzle to Seven, but he looks like he’s doing just fine.

Copper
Reya, S’aka and Corazon
Finally, some nice clouds. But still no moisture from sky to ground.

Spots and a blanket of snow

Corazon with Reya and S’aka in their high-desert home of Spring Creek Basin. Utah isn’t quite as close as the La Sals in this photo would have you believe, but it is fairly close.
Note the mud on Reya. The Round Top pond is holding a decent amount of water. Three ducks thought it quite fit the bill, too!

Seven’s ladies seem to be feeding him well. Puzzle is behind him, and you can just see Shadow at bottom right.

Grey/Traveler, center, drinks from a pond with his band, from left: Alegre, Maia, Mariah and Houdini. Water is the most precious resource of all in this high desert region.
