Aiyanna and Buckeye were a bit separated from the rest of the band, grazing their way along this hill. I was below them, in the shade, while Aiyanna crossed close to the top, where her right side was lit by the last of the day’s sunshine.
Just a simple portrait of this beautiful girl in the autumn light.
Thirty minutes post-sunset today ends third rifle season. I’ve never been so glad to bid farewell to a week.

Ponies definitely are looking fuzzy and velvety for coming winter. The forecast keeps changing, but we could have our first snowflakes of the season early this week.
A nap, a drink, an evening mosey.
Ah, the life. 🙂
Another something a little different. You’re supposed to at least see the subject’s head/face in wildlife photography, let alone a “catchlight” in the eye (at least one of them). A pic of a tail probably isn’t, um, traditionally considered a successful pic? 🙂
Just call me a photography rebel!
And let me know if something, anything, about this pic appeals to you … or not!?
(For photography nerds, this pic is nearly exactly as it came out of the camera. I cropped out a bit of the extraneous (?) darkness, and I applied some “sharpening,” and that’s it.)
The days are still fairly warm; the nights are cold enough for a coat (hair, fur, feather or otherwise!). During the short, sunshine-filled days, if it’s quiet enough, naps are almost a must-do.
So we may remain a country of free citizens, thank you, veterans, for your dedicated service.
Could Piedra be any more unabashedly beautiful?
No. The answer is no, she absolutely could NOT! Lovely girl. 🙂
Maia is as pretty in the spring of her birth as she is in the low autumn light with a fuzzy coat and the rabbitbrush already puffy.
Who *doesn’t* adore backlighting!?
Love her whiskers and the wind-tossed flip of just that one strand of mane. 🙂
