Eyes on the prize

Maiku

Maiku has one of the sweetest faces in Spring Creek Basin. His beautiful eyes are often hidden under that enviable forelock, but he’s one cute, sweet dude, and he has an eye for the ladies.





Mustang in the mist

Chipeta

Not really mist. 🙂 Prickly winter greasewood looks soft as a frame around lovely Chipeta, as seen through the distance of a long lens.





Checking on Seven

Seven

Seven looks like he’s in a nearly impenetrable wilderness of pinon-juniper forest.

Seven, Brumley Point and Temple Butte

Well, he’s in the wilderness, all right – McKenna Peak Wilderness Study Area. 🙂

In the background, the heavily eroded, knobbly-topped mesa in front of Temple Butte is Brumley Point (which reaches much less of an actual point than McKenna Peak).





Little buddy

Little S'aka has to reach to rest his chin on Skywalker's back!

S’aka is a pony-size boy. It took some doin’ to get his chin high enough to clear Skywalker’s back. But his pal didn’t seem to mind.





Did you hear …

Apollo and Killian, McKenna Peak in the background.

Apollo seems to have something interesting to tell pal Killian. It’s lovely to see the snow on the eastern ridges; unfortunately, there’s none on the ground in the basin.





Look over there

Storm and Mysterium

Storm and Mysterium watch birds nearby; we all appreciate the wildlife-viewing opportunities in Spring Creek Basin! That’s Brumley Point in the background.





Bachelors of the best kind

20 01 2015

Apollo, Skywalker, Killian and S'aka, McKenna Peak and Temple Butte.

A portrait of handsome bachelors: Apollo, Skywalker, Killian and S’aka. Look out, ladies. 🙂





Speculation

19 01 2015

Skywalker

We think he’s due in April or so.

🙂

OK, it’s early for April Fool’s Day jokes, but Skywalker clearly isn’t missing any groceries this winter.





Two beauties

16 01 2015

Seneca and Chipeta

Beautiful Seneca and shy Chipeta. Always photo-worthy. Look at those sweet faces!





Kickin’ up dirt …

13 01 2015

Puzzle

… and her heels. That we have mud to kick is kinda novel.

(Snow? What snow? I think I remember white stuff, but it’s been so long, I can’t be sure.)

A little rain has come … we’re hoping for a little lot more!

Isn’t Puzzle a gorgeous girl?
