Grey day

It’s never a dull day when Mariah graces my camera on the range of Spring Creek Basin.





So much brown

During many visits to Spring Creek Basin, we see mustangs in the distance (at least initially) as “little white dots.” We have a lot of grey horses. 🙂

We also have a lot of brown in our views. Especially since it hasn’t rained in 487,329 days – give or take. 😦

That lovely snow we got was wonderful and welcome. … And we need more wet stuff. ANY wet stuff.

Hello, most beautiful. 🙂





Strut of success

For the nth time, Comanche has repelled a challenger to his band.





First snow

Not really the first snow in the region, but the first very locally.

To be truthful, the dusting of snow was on higher ridges above and beyond Spring Creek Basin, but it was very close. Even the La Sal Mountains had snow … until it melted under the day’s bright sunshine.

C’mon, moisture! You are needed!





Even time

Terra.

Near sunset.

Glorious.





Back light

Even though Tenaz was just featured, I couldn’t resist also sharing this view of the handsome boy! Sunset shadows had already enveloped him and his band, but the last light lingered at our horizon, where Temple Butte and McKenna Peak look more like a painted backdrop than actual geographic features of the land.





The start of fuzz

Chipeta is getting the fuzzies. Nights are chilly, but days are still short-sleeve warm.

Even smudged with dirt, casually browsing along with his band after sunset, Comanche shines, embodying our peaceful wild.





So gold

Two golden girls, enjoying a golden evening in a golden place on our big blue ball. 🙂
