The longest summer

Comanche

It’s weirdly hazy again, despite the sprinkles we’ve had.

For the source, one has no farther to look than the smoke on the horizon.

Plateau Fire

West Guard Fire – I called in a report of smoke and found out that firefighters already were on this fire. It’s directly south of Spring Creek Basin … but not terribly close.

Neither fire is very big at this time.

Rainbow over Temple Butte

Only sprinkles over Spring Creek Basin, but we’ll take every one.





A little o’ this …

Rain and rainbow over Disappointment Valley.

Lower Disappointment Valley got some rain. As a friend (you know who you are!) says, it was a bit of a toad gagger!

Hopefully Spring Creek Basin got a dose of the moisture. We could use some puddles.

Cassidy Rain and Raven

Cassidy Rain and Raven amble along the top of a hill after quenching their thirst at an arroyo seep.

Hot, hot temps and dry, dry days.

Relief is needed.

Well, yes, you can say that about all our mustangs. Naturally!

Another face, handsome. 🙂 Comanche – so good, he’s great!





Stridin’ on through summer

Killian

Do we detect a little trace of green? We’ve had some drips and drops, adding up to a recordable bit of moisture. Killian likes it … and we’re all a tad happier.

Puzzle

Puzzle gives her glorious tail a swish (the gnats and other buzzers haven’t taken a break during the drought) as she follows her band on a golden Spring Creek Basin evening.





To know her is to love her
