Above and below, on a rather still, very pleasant evening, so not much waving (other than swishing at normal summer buggies).

Wise mare watching

Mz. Winona watches over mustangs from a neighboring band while she naps in the golden light of a windy evening in Spring Creek Basin.

More flowers to visit
13 06 2026
This busy little bee was visiting all the blooms in the vicinity when I stopped for a quick visit on my way to see a band.
Most of the prickly pear cacti in Spring Creek Basin feature those peachy blooms or pretty yellow flowers, but now and then, there’s a pretty pink-flowering cluster.

Tenaz and Skywalker have an evening debrief while following the girls from water to grazing. Every now and then, it’s good to check in with your friends.

Golden wait time
10 06 2026
Completely unbothered, Mariah grazes into the sunset on yet another very warm (90F), very windy, red-flag/fire-weather watch/warning day in Spring Creek Basin. … And at least today and tomorrow are facing the same watch/warning.
Some rain, please??

New color
9 06 2026The four o’clock flowers are blooming now in Spring Creek Basin’s Chrome’s Point area (western area), and the prickly pear cacti have started opening their flowers. It’s a nice and welcome bit of color in the desert while we wait for monsoons to bring the land to life.
Promising clouds … but they didn’t drop rain on the basin.
The whole big plant, and this *is* a big one.
Very spiky prickly pear (I don’t know the actual kind) with the most delicate, peachy blossoms.
Lots of goodness in there for the bees and other buzzers!

That heart
8 06 2026
A little battered and nicked by the wild of life, Corazon’s heart is nearly as big as he is (which isn’t actually very big, but comparatively so!).
