Our “products” of the wild in Spring Creek Basin really will increase the life expectancy and enjoyment of all who view them. … Though they’re also certain to deepen smile lines. 🙂

Glorious.





Back light

101519Tenazmcktb1

Even though Tenaz was just featured, I couldn’t resist also sharing this view of the handsome boy! Sunset shadows had already enveloped him and his band, but the last light lingered at our horizon, where Temple Butte and McKenna Peak look more like a painted backdrop than actual geographic features of the land.





Gold ‘n grey

101519Skywalker

Wandering Skywalker pauses on his path to watch a band in the very last spread of light over Spring Creek Basin. Just a moment later, he continued on.

As I was leaving the basin, I saw him approaching another band.

Who knows where the paths of wild ones lead? Who knows what we learn when we watch the paths they follow?





The start of fuzz

Do you believe in magic?

Of course you do. You enjoy the mustangs of Spring Creek Basin, Disappointment Valley, southwestern Colorado, USA, North America, planet Earth, featured on this blog. 🙂

Pictured is Hollywood’s most beautiful band of lovelies, and in the background, one can see across Spring Creek Basin and lower Disappointment Valley to the northwest. Spring Creek canyon is about center, over Shane’s back. The La Sal Mountains of southeastern Utah dominate the horizon.

They could represent all the wild in all the places.

Valued.





Through the jungle

We don’t have too many trees in Spring Creek Basin, so even a few add a different look to the scenery. Golden Kestrel, of course, looks fabulous in any setting.





Handsome, check

100919Tenaz1

Look who took a break from sunset grazing to look all handsome in the about-to-disappear sunshine. 🙂 Mr. Tenaz: big, bay, beauty boy.





So bright

100919sundance1

Sundance keeps an eye on a nearby band while his napped under a tree nearby like they thought it was still summer.

Our part of Colorado – back in severe drought conditions – didn’t get the snow that other parts of Colorado (and other states!) got with yesterday’s cold front, but our temps dropped … from lovely 70s to lower 40s. With bright sunshine, and cottonwoods along Disappointment Creek starting to show some gold, it was gorgeous weather here. … But we’d sure like to have some moisture.
