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 …
27 04 2026
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.

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.

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!

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

Tenaz and Skywalker are mostly pretty chill with each other.
Mostly.
And sometimes, it’s springtime, and boundaries need to be laid.
Constant vigilance! 🙂
