Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Sweetness, that greasewood ain’t hidin’ nuthin’. 🙂

Burrs are still burrowing their way into the ponies’ forelocks as they stretch and reach for greening grass.

Killian isn’t a big boy, but he’s awfully cute. 🙂

Houdini doesn’t like to wait … on photographers or other admirers.

Hayden naps after a chat with Tenaz. He picked a good spot. 🙂

(This boy is the king of naps … and has been since he was a baby.)

Do you have a friend who would rather avoid the camera? She turns away. She tries to hide her face. She makes goofy faces.

But you know she’s beautiful, so you keep trying. And sometimes you catch her in a moment of softness.

Our Miss Chipeta is a little camera-shy, but we love her. 🙂

We’re a bit snowier now than this photo shows because of the snowfall we received Thursday night. It took a while for reality to catch up with the week’s worth of forecast moisture, but it was worth the wait. As a friend says, “The mud doesn’t bother me. I love the moisture!” And temps dropped into single digits locally, so it’s still out there.

A shout out to Sand Wash Basin folks and critters: Maybell, Colorado, saw a low temperature of MINUS FORTY-TWO DEGREES the other day. Be safe out there, friends!

Pretty spotted girl Reya walks a ridgeline against a bluebird Colorado sky. She’s not in deep snow up to her knees and hocks; she was just enough on the other side of the crest that it only looks that way. 🙂
