Two, interested

Maia, Alegre and Houdini

Still some snow out there, but it’s going, going. The grey girls should be camouflaged in winter snow, but they stand out against the brown.

Maia, Alegre and Houdini are pretty girls, aren’t they!

Seneca and Chipeta

Seneca sports her own spot. Not quite like mama’s, but who’s to quibble?

Elk herd in Spring Creek Basin.

These lovely ladies have made themselves at home in Spring Creek Basin. It surely beats wading through snow in the high country, though “snow” is a term planets away from this country this winter.

This pic was taken after sunset as I was walking away from a divine visit with the horses. Lots of critters call the basin home.





Something about …

Spring Creek Basin, Disappointment Valley, La Sal Mountains

It’s a beautiful view, isn’t it?

Madison, Spring Creek Basin, Disappointment Valley, La Sal Mountains

But there’s something about adding a horse, wild, that takes a view this beautiful and makes it magic. Knowing they are there, in the wild heart of America, should make us all believe in things bigger and better than ourselves.





Faraway

Hollywood, La Sal Mountains

Hollywood with a faraway look in his eye. He was hanging with his band while the other horses were below a nearby ridge.





Comfort

Chrome courts Mariah.

Chrome finds some with Mariah, if only to relieve an itch.





Clouds welcome

Cassidy Rain

Cassidy Rain on a rare cloudy day.

In the land of sunshine and postcard-perfect days, some clouds – and moisture – would be very welcome.

David and Skywalker

Skywalker is learning wild stallion ways from wary Master David.





Mustang moonrise

Skywalker and David below the moonrise.

And the moon rises! Clever boys, pointing it out. 🙂

Skywalker and David gave me a good visit, and I was heading out, when I looked back and saw that giant moon rising over the basin’s eastern ridgeline. Wow! Seconds later (?!), the sun dropped, and shadows claimed ground.

Not much snow out there.

S'aka and Maiku

S’aka and his buddy Maiku check me out as I walk up their favorite hill for a visit. From this perspective, they look like they’re on top of their world.
