Storm doesn’t ruffle easily. Another band was fairly close to his band, and he wasn’t worried … but he kept an eye on them, just the same.
Attention, caught

S’aka mirrors the colors of nature on a snowy, sunny day in Spring Creek Basin. Most of our snow is gone now, but we’re still enjoying the moisture!

Bright spots

Hollywood and Maia provide spots of color in an otherwise drab day. From this vantage, we could look completely across and beyond Spring Creek Basin.

Top ‘o the beautiful world

A mustang pauses in her grazing to survey her magnificent world in and around Spring Creek Basin. Those are the La Sal Mountains of Utah in the background.
It’s a beautiful world out there. 🙂

Peeking through the locks

Sundance eyes the photographer while grazing through a shallow cover of snow. That’s Round Top in the background. He’s in very good shape for a winter mustang. 🙂

Even knowing something was there – because the mustangs all had alerted – it took a while for me to locate these two coyotes on the snowy hillside of bachelor ridge in Spring Creek Basin. They’re hunted mercilessly in this part of the country, but I enjoy seeing them. They’re no threat to the wily mustangs. 🙂

Snow boys

S’aka and Skywalker have a snowy little chat during a little wave of white stuff in Spring Creek Basin. Neither snow nor sunshine can keep a mustang from his normal boy behavior.

Skywalker shines on a beautiful day in Spring Creek Basin. We had marvelous sunshine … then a couple of waves of snow went through … then we had marvelous sunshine again.
And mustangs. Always, always mustangs. 🙂

I couldn’t choose. 🙂
There’s magic in them thar hills.
Temple Butte itself isn’t in Spring Creek Basin; it’s just outside our southeastern boundary. The foreground in these photos IS Spring Creek Basin. The southeastern and eastern parts of Spring Creek Basin Herd Management Area also are part of McKenna Peak Wilderness Study Area – which also extends to the east beyond Spring Creek Basin. (Note: McKenna Peak also is just outside the basin, and it’s visible from this vantage, to the left. With my long lens, I couldn’t fit them both in the confines of one photo – and it was more wreathed in snow-mist. :))

Spotting skills

Sometimes, it’s easy to spot the mustangs.
And sometimes, it’s just dang near impossible. 🙂
