Winter time is snowy-schnozz time!
The mustangs make practical use of being surrounded by frozen water to “eat” it as casually as they graze. It’s very handy for them to graze and browse and nibble mouthfuls of snow along the way. They do seem to relish it – like ice cream, perhaps!?
All that snow is BRIGHT under the Colorado sunshine! Alegre and the other mustangs do get a little squinty-eyed trying to keep out the glare.
Does she have some impressive wind knots or what?!
Elder Aspen cuts a dashing figure against the rimrocks of Spring Creek canyon in the far western part of Spring Creek Basin.
He’s starting to show his age, and he moves slowly and deliberately through the snow (not much *dashing* for him, really), but for a mustang that I’d guess to be in at least his mid-20s, he’s looking pretty fine, indeed.
Interestingly, before I got out to Terra and her band, the mountains had been fully visible. Rather than clearing of snow clouds, the clouds were enveloping them (again). They look just about as fabulous as Terra in HER winter coat. 🙂
To enter his wintry world?
Invitation accepted!
Sleepy, sleepy Skywalker. 🙂
All that snow acts as a giant light reflector, and while the air is cold, it also serves to create a very real warmth. And after filling their bellies, they’re very amenable to nice little naps!
That face!
Chipeta makes me work for her glamour shots … and she always rocks it. She glows!
Corazon chose a nice place to nap, framed by juniper trees, surrounded by fresh snow.
Another inch to 2 or 3 fell over Spring Creek Basin early yesterday morning and freshened up our snow world!
Buckeye gives Aiyanna a snuggle while surrounded by snow on a morning of pristine whiteness.
