Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

Gettin’ awfully grey, young man. 🙂

Isn’t he handsome?! (Flash, of course.)

Piedra follows a band mate across runoff from an arroyo seep where she and her band and another band drank before heading up to graze on a little bench above the arroyo.

We should have rain by the time you read this post this morning!

Happy Easter. 🙂

Still wooly. Still snow out there in the high(er) places. Rowan and Dundee are ready for spring. 🙂

Snow-globe magic of light with Miz Winona. 🙂

Sunshine through snow at a distance results in those soft colors we love that complement the mustangs – sleepy Seneca in this case – so well. Cozy coats still make for comfortable napping in such weather.

Our weather is still a bit unsettled the rest of this week before we have some rain in the forecast in a few days. If we could get rain once or twice a week, it would go a long way toward making ours a green spring!

Springtime? Check.

Sunshine? Check.

Snow? Check.

Springtime in Colorado? Double check!

Spring is here. Here’s the proof in the budding greasewood. 🙂

I’m always happy when I see the greasewood budding again. It’s a good source of protein that the mustangs eat like ice cream. I equate it with warming weather, shedding coats and plumping ponies.

Lingering clouds crown Utah’s La Sal Mountains, ever-present sentinels of our northwestern horizon.

Kestrel makes that horizon view so much more … wild.

I can’t really explain what captures me about this pic of Terra … but maybe it captures you, too.
