Nice spot for a nap
7 02 2018
Young Killian found a perfectly photogenic spot for a nap in Spring Creek Basin … with Temple Butte looming beautifully in the background.
Disappointment Valley got rain in places and snow in places overnight Monday and early Tuesday morning. It’s just a little, but it’s hugely needed.

Wise Houdini looks back before continuing over the ridge to water. Her wisdom is so strong, so obvious. Simply, she’s amazing.

Not enough white

Those patches of snow are gone, though damp spots on the earth still linger in shady places. The snow on the La Sals is rapidly fading to the grey of the rock below as the sun shines relentlessly down during this winter of discontent.

Today is the fifth anniversary of the passing of a beloved friend, Pati Temple. Even as we continue to mourn her loss, we celebrate her life and the shining light she was to all creatures, especially Spring Creek Basin’s mustangs.

Comanche has a few offspring. Apparently, that “middle-age creep” happens to all of us. 🙂

Rising and rising
1 02 2018
The moon rose hugely Tuesday night.
Wednesday morning, I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes early enough to *see* the bloody lunar eclipse but not quite early enough to get out and capture the bloody lunar eclipse on digital media. I’m not sure whether it disappeared for lack of light (it was pretty dim when I did see it, with just a sliver of silver moon showing at the very bottom of the orb) or whether clouds obscured it. Noticeably, no stars were visible in a fairly wide band above the horizon. By the time the sky was light enough to see detail, bloody clouds (they weren’t red …) were low above the western ridges.
But sunrise was briefly and sweetly – one might say bloody – spectacular. 🙂
Why yes, Virginia, that IS Temple Butte, silhouetted against the dawn. 🙂
Did you see the eclipse? How awed were you?? Share in the comments! 🙂

By the time many of you read this, the super bloody blue moon eclipse will have happened. 🙂 I hope you saw it!

Rising
30 01 2018
Storm sports some bling for his portrait with the rising nearly-super moon. 🙂 He also had his stylist make sure his hair was neatly combed!
Especially if you’re in the West, be sure to check out the super blue blood moon tomorrow:
“The Jan. 31 full moon is special for three reasons: it’s the third in a series of ‘supermoons,’ when the Moon is closer to Earth in its orbit — known as perigee — and about 14 percent brighter than usual. It’s also the second full moon of the month, commonly known as a ‘blue moon.’ The super blue moon will pass through Earth’s shadow to give viewers in the right location a total lunar eclipse. While the Moon is in the Earth’s shadow it will take on a reddish tint, known as a ‘blood moon.’
“In the Rocky Mountain region, the show begins as the umbra touches the edge of the Moon at 4:48 a.m. MST. The peak of the blood moon eclipse is at about 6:30 a.m. local time, and the Moon will set shortly after 7 a.m.”
Get out there and check it out. It’s going to be SUPER cool! 🙂
