Peace under the guardian

Chipeta and Ty - Temple Butte in the background.

Ty and Chipeta graze peacefully in the warm sunshine under ever-watchful Temple Butte on the loveliest of days in Spring Creek Basin. 🙂





Taking a pause

Hollywood; Temple Butte

Hollywood watches his band during a pause in his grazing, while Temple Butte glows from late light in the background. It’s a beautiful world out there.





And away they go

Maiku, Temple Butte

Really? He couldn’t have run along the top of that little rise in the foreground with his mane blowing in the wind and iconic Temple Butte in the background?

But this image (and memory) makes me laugh, so maybe I like it even better. 🙂





Returning the look

Maiku and Corazon

Maiku and Corazon … looking at Reya as she looks at them.





Just a look

Reya

Reya found a quiet spot, slightly out of the wind between two trees, below McKenna Peak.

Kwana

It takes a stiff wind to pick up and move those heavy braids and twisted strands of mustang mane. The horses take it all as it comes.





Spittin’ with the wind

Skywalker, Temple Butte and McKenna Peak

Skywalker spit a bit of something that he was grazing, and it blew with the wind (do you see it?).

It was crazy windy. It was beautiful. 🙂





Splendid shaggy

Tenaz

Tenaz is rocking the latest mustang fashion trend: almost-spring-and-trying-to-shed.

🙂

It’s a hot look right now on ranges everywhere!

Miss Shane prepares to stand after lying down to roll in the soft mud.





Between storms

Aspen; members of Comanche's band in the background.

Aspen trots back to his band, which was near another band, as a wave of rain approaches Spring Creek Basin.
