Alegre, Maia and Houdini, La Sal Mountains

 

The morning of the day this photo was taken, the local world was covered in white. By the time this photo was taken, near sunset, the ground was nearly as dry as before it snowed. (Thanks, spring wind.)

As quickly as it arrived and then melted, we’re supremely glad for the moisture – and would relish the opportunity for more – soon!

 





Just a wee bit …

Skywalker

… windy.

That’s not a swish of Skywalker’s tail; that’s the wind blowing it sideways.

Those snow-covered ridges in the far background are far away, indeed. They contribute water to their watershed(s), but it doesn’t reach Spring Creek Basin. We’re crossing fingers and hooves again for moisture to dampen the dust raised and scattered by the wind.





Flying

Winona

Winona flies with the wind through her mane.

She has a short flight distance. 🙂





Oooh la Terra

Terra

 

A most gorgeous mustang among most gorgeous mustangs – Terra.

Truly, their beauty still makes me catch my breath, and time spent with them makes them only more beautiful and appealing.

Terra

 

Do not be afraid of backlighting. Embrace backlighting. I love the way it highlights the shape of our most gorgeous mustangs.

Piedra and friends

Pretty, pretty Piedra watches while her compadres graze on a beautiful morning in Spring Creek Basin.

Chrome's band

 

A respected personage liked this photo of some of Chrome’s band, seen through the legs of another member of his band. I wish the focus was on the mares’ faces in the background.

It was a gorgeous morning, and the ponies were phenomenal. 🙂





Greys and browns and blues

Maia

Another example of a born-black-and-greying mustang – Maia. Her colors match the colors of Spring Creek Basin very well, don’t they?





Lady of the basin

Houdini

 

Wise Houdini is as important in her role as the elder gentlemen of Spring Creek Basin.

And do you love her mustachio?? 🙂

Gaia

Lovely Gaia has been to the mud spa! Though the ground is mostly dry in most of Spring Creek Basin, the ponds look very good after the snowmelt. And all that hair must be itchy!

The horses are shedding … though slowly yet, despite the warmish temperatures of late. We might have some winter moisture in store. … Maybe?! 🙂
