The moment when Temple noticed Corazon’s band in the distance.
This moment lasted about 2.7 seconds … and then she returned to her peaceful grazing.
I was waiting to get her, the background horizon, the stormy sky in a *moment* … and that’s all I needed.
While hanging out with another band several evenings ago, I saw Corazon’s band a fair distance away. They were, in fact, up the hill to the left as you’re looking at the above photo. It was a cool perspective, but the horses were just enough over a little hill that they weren’t super recognizable with their heads down, grazing.
I kept an eye on them while enjoying my closer band, and eventually, they came into better view – which you see above. And eventually after THAT, they ended up very close to me and the band I was with. 🙂
A whole photo essay could be dedicated to the artistry of the mustang tail swish. This one, catching that luscious light, would come in near the top of the gallery.
(Photo-nerdy background info: I regularly delete pix that show a horse with a “normal” or straight-hanging tail as opposed to pix that show a lovely swish. I regularly let my camera indulge in its fast burst rate to take multiple images of a moment in order to hopefully get that *pretty* swish (let alone other loveliness).)
All magic, all (OK, most of) the time.
From above Disappointment Road looking up-valley – Spring Creek Basin from about mid-ground at left to background. The magic treasure under the rainbow.
We got sprinkles but nothing spectacular in the rain department … unless, of course, you count the rainbow glowing ahead of the rain. 🙂
**** Update: Around 5 a.m., we got a *spectacular* thunder-and-lightning storm that brought the rain in toad-gagging torrents. Every arroyo and creek in the valley is surely rolling and roiling. Catchments hopefully have gotten much-needed infusions by the gallon.
Wowza!!!!
From Chrome’s Point in Spring Creek Basin, I watched the moon rise last night.
There’s a lot going on with our lunar neighbor this month, according to NASA. According to that linked article’s headline, “the next full moon (Tuesday) is a partial lunar eclipse; a supermoon, the corn moon, and the harvest moon.” That’s a hard-working moon!
It’s been rising over our horizons for generations untold. Still so amazing and mysterious and beautiful.
Rowan and Dundee. Bright-eyed curious beautiful girls.
Mysterium was frozen in her tracks, frozen in fascination about what was happening with a little band just down the hill at the road. It wasn’t a big to-do (or so this human thought), but she sure was interested!
If you’ve seen a cuter young mustang than our Master Odin … I don’t even wanna hear about it. 🙂
Gosh, he’s growing up glorious!
Isn’t she the loveliest?
Terra.
I know I say that about all of them, all of the time. But am I wrong?
No. No, I am not. 🙂
