The Salt River horses are lucky, in that they have a beautiful river to call home. Ample water and a place to cool down on hot days, it’s a big part of their lives.
This little filly was only a couple of days old, I showed you photos of her in this post, when she made her first river trip. We just happened to be at the river one afternoon when we saw her little band near the rivers edge.
She was so cute and tentative on the river rocks.
It’s that time of year when migratory birds show up in Arizona. When we were in Wickenburg last week we saw some, and now here at the river there are even more.
The Hassayampa river runs through the town of Wickenburg, and there is a preserve just outside of town. We didn’t see all the activity I had hoped for, but we did see Vermillion flycatchers which are new bird for me, and completely gorgeous.
I’m not sure where these guys winter, but apparently they aren’t here for very long. Talk about little jewels.
Spring brings baby wild horses, baby birds, baby everything. And what’s not to love about that!
We have been hither and yon in Arizona since the last time I blogged. Sorry…I really haven’t forgotten about you guys, but life has been busy and blogging has obviously taken a back seat. I am active on Facebook, and Instagram though, Just sayin’.
Anyway….we did our last art show of the winter season last weekend in Wickenburg. The shows were mostly Ok, considering Arizona is a tough art show market because there are so many shows. Everyone LOVED the new work I am doing, and all year I have heard “How unique” “So different” ” I absolutely love it” which is exactly what I wanted to hear. To create something that is different, and everyone loves in today’s art world is an accomplishment for sure. So, since there is snow and cold in Utah still, we decided to come back to the Salt River to wait out the weather. Of course I was all over this idea, especially since I knew there were some new foals.
This little colt is about a week old.
And just as cute as can be.
