Spring Creek Basin and its mustangs really are that stunningly gorgeous. 🙂
No joke

Hurrying after
31 03 2025
After allowing her to cross an arroyo and continue grazing ahead, Corazon hustles after his mare.
No point in getting left behind.

Radiant Rowan
30 03 2025
When we first got Rowan from Sand Wash Basin, they thought she was a mare named Radiant. Then, no, she’s not Radiant, she’s Rowan. … Yes, she’s really both. 🙂

Always loved, lovely

Prettiest Winona grazed and moseyed, moseyed and grazed … and eventually, she blessed me with a *look*. 🙂

One wild life
28 03 2025
Isn’t it amazing that we have these wild, wide-open places in America? For our wild horses, our wildlife and wild lives?
Love them. Protect them.

Cacophony of spring
27 03 2025
Do you know how hard it is to photograph bees buzzing around just-flowered apricot buds?
It’s hard. 🙂
Harder than photographing birds!
I wish I could photograph the *sound* of the buzzing of the bees around the apricot tree. That, my friends, is the very sound of spring.
With temps very near 80F the last couple of days, and all manner of singing spring signs, I’d say spring is well and truly here. … Now if only we could get some April showers …!

Girl in the gold
26 03 2025
Temple was grazing above the Spring Creek arroyo, and here, she had paused for just a few seconds to look at some band members crossing the arroyo before she resumed her grazing in the very last light of a very beautiful day in Spring Creek Basin.

Twice as nice
25 03 2025
The greasewood is budding. Finally. That’s what Tenaz is going after here. It’s full of protein, and it’s my experience that once they start noshing on the greasewood, their coats start shedding, and spring is well and truly begun. 🙂

Spring fuzzies
24 03 2025
A young bull elk and a cow elk check me out from right above Disappointment Creek, which still is not running yet this year. They still look awfully fuzzy don’t they? The temp was at least 67F in the valley yesterday. Spring is here.

Flash in his world
23 03 2025
In the above pic, you can see a bit more of Flash’s original black. Interestingly, it’s most visible there on his left front leg. I don’t know why it’s blacker there than the rest of his body’s spots … greying out more slowly. It’s almost like a reverse/upside-down stocking. 🙂
