Mistress Houdini is the master of the mustang look. She has had a lifetime to perfect it. 🙂

Eye on the prize

Sundance was keeping a close eye on a nearby band … and all the pretty mares in it. 🙂

In his element

Kwana, and all wild horses, wild burros, wild animals, know their home country. And it knows them. Lives and places – intertwined.
We have a lot to learn.

Little snow pinto
13 01 2017
We had snow once upon a time. Then it was warm, and the wind howled, and the snow melted. So Ma Nature put it back in our forecast. 🙂
When we had snow, it didn’t phase S’aka much. It won’t bother him when it comes again.

More red spots

All that lovely snow is gone with the wind – literally. While the Front Range had more serious blasting wind than we did in Southwest Colorado, ours was tough enough.
But the ground continues to stay damp, and the forecast shows another stretch of moisture-laden days (that may or may not fulfill their promise), so we’re having a wonderful winter in Spring Creek Basin!
Puzzle still sports her fuzzy finery for all the winter that stretches ahead of us. 🙂

That look
11 01 2017
My gosh, isn’t she gorgeous? Mariah in all her mustang-ness is a classic beauty.
(Moment of photo-geekiness: Do you love the snow bokeh in the background? Delicious.)
This post is dedicated to my friend Roy, who named Mariah when she was a baby. 🙂

Another long view

Another visual puzzle for ya’ll. 🙂 Do you see the two wildlings?
Psst … lower right.
It’s a big, beautiful land, and the moisture is seeping in.

Do you see what I see?

Beauty, yes. 🙂
Do you spot the spotted ponies? They’re in a line at lower center.

Spot of red in the grey
8 01 2017
We’re a bit snowier now than this photo shows because of the snowfall we received Thursday night. It took a while for reality to catch up with the week’s worth of forecast moisture, but it was worth the wait. As a friend says, “The mud doesn’t bother me. I love the moisture!” And temps dropped into single digits locally, so it’s still out there.
A shout out to Sand Wash Basin folks and critters: Maybell, Colorado, saw a low temperature of MINUS FORTY-TWO DEGREES the other day. Be safe out there, friends!

The very littlest things
7 01 2017
These pix were taken a couple of weeks ago – obviously, when we still had snow on the ground, and the cold temps to keep it there – when I was out in Spring Creek Basin, on snowshoes, with wild ponies. I remembered these images just recently and sifted through my cell phone’s gallery to find them for you.
Sometimes, Mother Nature’s beauty is in the very smallest items. We might miss it if we weren’t looking for a place to carefully kneel in the white stuff for a better perspective of the furry stuff(s). 🙂
