Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

As Christmas trees go, it’s a little spindly, but we work with what we have. 🙂

Madison and Temple – and all of us in Spring Creek Basin –
wish you and your families the very merriest Christmas!

All is calm, all is bright.

Merry Christmas Eve!

It’s official: All we needed to make the brown look more *gold* and less blah is a bit of white stuff … and one very gorgeous grey mustang girl (thanks, Temple!). 🙂

Thick velvet bay winter coat and snow drifting over the far ridges.

Sigh.

Blessed.

Happy winter solstice, everyone!

Winona found a low spot in a shallow arroyo on the west side of Flat Top to nap; it was as out of the wind as possible that day. Even in her sheltered spot, she had a good view of the human wandering around in the snow.

You really have to wonder what they wonder about our strange-to-them movements: I’m not grazing. I’m not looking for a spot out of the wind. I’m not with others of my kind. I’m just wandering around, clicking every now and then and making other also-unintelligible noises. What weird creatures! 🙂

As the sun was setting behind clouds over the basin, Corazon came to see just what the heck I was doing sitting there in a pile of snow (answer: because it wasn’t mud). My camera’s ISO was still set for better light, so he’s a bit out of focus, but I love his expression of curiosity!
