This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago, but I thought we could use a dose of snow, even if most of it is melted now.
And who doesn’t love a glimpse of pudgy Hollywood? 🙂
Better in white

Pretty grey in dismal brown

Temple is alert to the movement of another band nearby.
Lookin’ pretty brown out there in the cold season, which doesn’t bode well for our warm-season moisture.

Not to mention, of course, one of my very favorite *things*. 🙂

Handsome near and far

Tenaz does like to pose in front of the snowy La Sal Mountains, doesn’t he?
Though we’d like to see white all the way to the horizon, it’s good to see snow on those not-too-distant peaks.

Back to blue

I mean, really. Only if the land were covered in life-giving winter white would that be a more heavenly view.
Kwana was moseying along grazing … when he realized that his girls weren’t exactly keeping up. Rather than wait for them, he returned to them.
It really is the girls who rule the family. 😉

The mustang view

What do you suppose she’s looking at? What do you suppose she’s thinking about whatever it is that she’s looking at?
Whatever it was, it occupied her attention for a couple of minutes. Then she went back to grazing. What a quiet, peaceful, beautiful life.

Moseyin’

Skywalker moseyed through the shadscale following his bachelor buddy. He was less interested in glamour shots than in his path. I took a few shots and backed away from his greatness. 🙂

After the sun had set, Killian finally gave me a look. The very cutest look. 🙂

Going high
9 02 2020
This was my first glimpse of the moon two nights ago – already very high in the sky above Corazon and Maiku. In the next few shots I took, it was overtaken by clouds.
Trivia: February’s full moon is called the Snow Moon by Native Americans because it usually appears during heavy snow. … It would be GREAT if it snowed here heavily (or at all) while the moon was full!
You can see how late it is; the horses and I are in sunset shade, and the far northern ridges above the basin are glowing in the very absolute last slip of sunlight.
That said, “late” is getting later as we slide toward spring. This “late” was around 5:30 p.m.
