Big boy Odin is a happy young bachelor these days. He and a friend are wandering Spring Creek Basin and occasionally making visits to neigh(!)boring bands. What a handsome young mister!





It takes a little rain …

Note the slight rainbow at far right, looking pretty much straight southeast up-valley Disappointment. Familiar icons at far left make up Spring Creek Basin’s eastern horizon.

If it looks wet, it was. Give or take (thanks for the *give*, Mz Nature!), Disappointment Valley got half an inch of rain. The great thing was that it kept coming. … The sunshine would break through … then another wave of rain would pass through … then the sunshine would break through … then another wave would pass through.

Much needed; much gratitude!

I’m loving these blue-hour images. Seneca this time, performing a little criss-cross as she grazes her way down the hill. This was a little while before I took the pic of the other horses on the nearby ridge in yesterday’s post.

Weather coming in. Hopefully we’ll get some rain tomorrow.





It’s all good

Skywalker … considering his options, as most of them (all of them) have been thwarted by Tenaz.

He takes it pretty well. 🙂 Where the band goes, he goes, so really, win-win.





Business, meant

That lip! 🙂

Another pic of Tenaz, fending off Skywalker from the day a few days ago.

(The tufts of lighter colored hair on his neck and cheek are remnants of his winter coat. Spring really is here when the ponies shed. :))





Mother Earth

22 04 2026

She has some age on her. She’s a bit worn. She’s wild. She’s all about family. She’s dignified and wise.

We’re all in this life together, on this one planet Earth. She’s a beautiful ol’ gal, and she has a lot of life in her yet.

Gaia = Mother Earth, Earth Mother.

Home.

Happy Earth Day, ya’ll. Do something awesome!





Naming the wind

In honor of the spring wind (there are a couple of days of wind advisories staring us down again): Marvelous Mariah!





Earthly beauty

Window to her wild soul. Terra.

Tenaz and Skywalker are mostly pretty chill with each other.

Mostly.

And sometimes, it’s springtime, and boundaries need to be laid.

Constant vigilance! 🙂
