White back then
10 12 2025
All that lovely snow is gone now, melted into the needy soil. Temps have gotten warmer, and we have mud. Not too bummed about that as it all means one very good thing = moisture. 🙂

Snowy commute
8 12 2025
There was still a fair bit of snow, but it’s been melting rapidly. Here, Tenaz is walking down a trail to drink at snow-melt-trickling Spring Creek. Really! The bed of the arroyo is only about 5 or 6 feet below him, and to clarify, it’s not running as much as just one narrow little ribbon of a trickle right through this particular section. Having that nice, fresh, running-clear water must be sooooo nice for them.

Sunshine ‘n snow

Bia is all relaxation as she naps on a “warmish” day that had a lot of the snow soaking into the desert ground and hopefully giving all those roots a good slurp.

Steamy
6 12 2025
Gaia’s breath goes gentle into that good evening. The temp was in the upper 30s – perfectly pleasant! The snow is melting, but all that moisture is seeping right into the soil, and that’s super beneficial for all the vegetation.

Searching
5 12 2025
To find horses yesterday, I had to go deep into Spring Creek Basin … but it was worth it!
Piedra and her band were moving comfortably through the snow browsing on whatever they could find.
Absolutely a gorgeous day! And the blue sky and clouds over Temple Butte weren’t half bad, either. 😉
Fingers, toes, everything crossed for a GOOD winter!

Not left behind

Madison issues a reminder to the already-over-there members of the band that she and *the rest* of the band are close and following, and don’t-leave-us-behind!

All paths to water
1 12 2025
Temple follows a well-worn mustang trail to water on a golden evening.
We’re hoping for good snow this winter to try to offset the past year’s drought. It would be nice to see a coating on the ground as nearly pristine as Temple’s coat. 🙂
