Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Not-so-baby Bia and mama Aiyanna. Pretty, pretty.

Friends are priceless! (Especially in the spring, especially with those itchy bits that you just can’t reach!)

Dundee and Rowan spent several minutes mutually grooming each other on a very quiet, very lovely and very peaceful evening in Spring Creek Basin while their bandmates grazed.

These little butterflies are everywhere lately, trying to find our few wildflowers, doing their best to further the pollination in this very dry spring. I didn’t realize I’d caught the butterfly with Juniper until I saw the image on my computer later. 🙂 Both bright spots of goodness!

**********

Speaking of bright spots, we got a nice drizzle of rain yesterday! I’d love to have more (you know I always want *more rain*!), but at least this bit of moisture will help our grasses and other vegetation, not to mention those water catchments.

By the time I got up on the ridge and had taken my time visiting with and photographing Hollywood, Sundance’s were dropping off the ridge and Storm’s band was about to. So I didn’t get a lot of pix of them, but that was OK. Above is Storm with Gaia and Mysterium before they headed down. I wish I’d gotten a better composition with that balanced rock behind them!

It’s not nearly as steep over the edge behind them as it looks. I moseyed over there as they were heading down, but I didn’t follow them as it was getting late and I had a long walk back.
