Shadow was being particularly antisocial, and although Killian let her have her space and stayed with his other band members, he kept an eye on her, which was a boon for this photographer – and you readers!
Could he BE any more handsome??

Buckskin beauty
8 03 2020
All our world seems painted in shades of buckskin these days – more brown, brown, brown than gold, gold, gold. It’s late, late winter, it’s a smidge too early for true spring (though temperatures and birds and bees say it’s spring).
It’s also the scruffy, rough, scraggly time when the horses are getting ready to shed their own winter wear and become sleek and spring-shiny again. And we’re waiting on green bits, which adds the vitamins to the winter diet. We’re all tired of the winter diet.

Sooo sleeeepy

It was that kind of day: Windy, warm, sunny. Nap worthy.
We’re looking for rain tonight (as I type this post, which will be last night when you read it this morning (!)).
We’ve had just 2.71 inches of moisture this winter (from Nov. 1 to now). That’s from both rain and snow.
Not a whole heckuva lot.
Meanwhile, there’s also a bit of this if you look closely:
The green grass blades are an inch or less long. We need some wet stuff to make more green stuff.

Miss Reya poses oh, so prettily in front of McKenna Peak and Temple Butte. … And in the next moment, she turned away to graze. It’s hard to catch that girl posing. 🙂

Rave-lita heads down the hill to a seep in the arroyo below. There’s still some snow on the north-facing slopes, but even that is going fast.

Watchful

Comanche zeroes in on a (mild) challenger as shadows lengthen from the backside (north side) of Knife Edge.
We’re back in moderate drought, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. At least one pond has some water now, but in mid-February, it’s not looking so wintry out there. Some parts of Colorado are tired of snow; we in Southwest Colorado are praying for a whole lot more.

After the sun had set, Killian finally gave me a look. The very cutest look. 🙂

Caught’cha nappin’

Yesterday morning, this scene – other than black beauty girl Shadow – was all white.
No matter that the air temperature didn’t hit the magic number of 32. That ol’ Colorado-high sunshine can melt the frostiest snow. Especially when it’s not much more than an inch-or-so dusting.

Spotty snow and special spots
3 02 2020
I love finding some of our pinto girls in the snow! Spirit and Puzzle have been wandering unseen for a little while, so I was ecstatic to find them, especially with McKenna Peak right behind them!
