Hollywood looks like he’s doing the four-step through the mud in pursuit of his band on a grey day in Spring Creek Basin.
We have more rain and snow in the forecast, and it’s still damp out there. We’re beginning to look forward to an awesome spring. 🙂
Maiku pauses to pose handsomely on a little ridge in southern Spring Creek Basin.
We finally got some sunshine, which seems a little crazy to point out because we have more than our fair share of sunshiney days. Usually. This winter has been unusually cloudy, and wet.
And we’re not complaining at all. 🙂
Skywalker gets more handsome every year, doesn’t he? He was looking out toward Spring Creek canyon (you can see the rimrocks in the background), then turned back to me.
Oh, yeah, pal. It’s gorgeous out there. 🙂
This is how Disappointment Valley looks these days: Spots of snow on the distant hills, not so much underfoot, grey skies and a whole lotta mud (which isn’t necessarily obvious from this image) – and lots of furry mustangs. 🙂
We’ve had some amazing moisture this winter. Truly, it’s a winter to remember – and one that we have needed to give our vegetation a good soaking.
Mistress Houdini is the master of the mustang look. She has had a lifetime to perfect it. 🙂
Sundance was keeping a close eye on a nearby band … and all the pretty mares in it. 🙂
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.
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.
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. 🙂
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. 🙂
