Piedra, Temple Butte

 

Lovely Piedra and our fabulous Temple Butte. Really, how lucky are we to have such amazing landmarks to photograph behind our stunning mustangs? 🙂

S'aka

 

This photo was taken after some periods of blowing snow and before the snow that started to turn the ground damp (melting on contact; it wasn’t until later that the snow started to stick). Shaggy little boy S’aka is adapted for winter winds and snow.

Full moon rising above Temple Butte and Brumley Point.

 

The mustangs were just out of the frame to the left. 🙂

The “snow moon” – February’s full moon – rises tonight.

Chrome, McKenna Peak and Temple Butte

 

The magnificent Chrome beneath the icons of his home range: McKenna Peak (pyramid-shaped) and Temple Butte (prominent protruding promontory).

Does any wild horse range equal Spring Creek Basin for beauty? Well, that’s a bit of a trick question! And I may be a wee bit biased (never!)!





Pretty … soooo pretty

Copper, Temple Butte

 

It’s always a great visit with the ponies when we can combine mustang-wild beauty and the ever-changing face of Temple Butte. Snow was moving out of the area, and the promontory was rising out of the clearing fog and snow. Copper, as usual, wondered why the heck I was sitting in the snow with a big grin on my face. 🙂

Killian, Temple Butte

Killian finds a particularly photogenic place to hang out in front of Temple Butte during a melty winter day in Spring Creek Basin.





Glorious snow

Spring Creek Basin snow; McKenna Peak, Temple Butte.

Free-running mustangs gallop across Spring Creek Basin in new snow below McKenna Peak and Temple Butte.

We are thankful for this gift of moisture for our mustangs and other wildlife!

Terra and Winona

It doesn’t even look real, does it? Paradise on Earth … for Terra and Winona and all of the Spring Creek Basin mustangs.
