My two favorite colors.
We got some crazy weather yesterday: rain, graupel, slush, snow – collectively known technically and scientifically as “wet stuff.”
Wet stuff is good stuff. We’ll take any and all of it.

Now that we’re greening up … there are spots of other colors, too. 🙂
This is a variety of Indian paintbrush, one of the most common wildflowers in Spring Creek Basin.

The spring breeze couldn’t keep the gnats from buzzing sweaty brows under visors.
Swishing tails and shaking heads are becoming normal again.
Happy May. 🙂

A lone bachelor *might* be admiring the view. He might be contemplating his next move. He might be thinking how awesome it is to be a mustang in Spring Creek Basin!
We don’t have the biggest range, but it’s expansive enough to make us feel small.

She’s tangled. She’s shaggy.
She’s free. She’s wild.

Cassidy Rain, the darkly, long-leggedly beautiful.
She doesn’t have time to pose for photos, man. Catch her if you can.

This pic of handsome Comanche was taken in the far eastern part of Spring Creek Basin, where the eastern ridges look (and are) fairly close. That background, even on a fairly dull day, makes Com seem to stand out from the landscape.
‘Course, Mr. Handsome doesn’t need a whole lotta help to be a standout. 🙂

Storm cocks an ear toward a far-away band as he moseys back to his own band from a chat with a nearer band’s stallion.
We got some rain – more than an inch – during the last couple of days. After a decent winter, things have been pretty dry here this spring. We’re grateful for the soaking rain! Things already are looking greener.

Happy, happy, wild and wonderful birthday to my little brother, Jeff! 🙂

Terra, like everybody else in the basin, is shedding her winter fuzziness, but some of her dapples remain for another year. She’ll eventually grey out, and all hint of dapples will have disappeared. Until then, they’re one of her defining features. 🙂
