In June when some friends and I went out to see the Wild Mustangs in the Eastern Sierras we found the fields pretty swampy. We definitely needed our Wellies or Muck boots out there to keep our feet dry, but the Wild Iris loved the swampy environment.
It’s mostly peaceful for humans and horses alike out here until…a Stallion gets upset about another stallion near a mare that’s his, or he wants her, or he just wants to be King of the Pasture then it can get exciting!
They got wet!
The flirtatious Stallion was run off and all was peaceful again.
I hope you all have a peaceful Wednesday and a great rest of the week!

just beautiful Deb!!
Thank you so much, Hannah! How are you? I’m seldom on Flickr since they changed their TOS and pricing policy. I hope all is going well and you are springing back! xx
Excellent set! I like your shallow depth of field in the first image.
Thank you so much, Denise!
Absolutely stunning, Deborah!! I love when you get a chance to capture these wild mustangs so I can admire their beauty through your lens!! ❤
Thank you so much, Amy! I’m hoping to get back there once more before the end of summer, but time is flying by!
Stunning views of the horses and the irises, Deborah! Convict lake in your post below is very pretty! Could only stay for half of the show time of the Art event, (it was going on for 2 weeks) but got to see the closest friends, and made a few new friends!
Now I can visit you:) let me know what good times would be . my new email is junie15blooms at yahoo.
Thank you so much, Jesh! Sounds like it was a great event. I’ll email you!
It looks like it would be such great fun watching and photographing these wild horse, beautiful pics!
Delightful, love the action shot!
Thank you so much, Donna!
Wow! Gorgeous photos, Deborah. What a treat to see the mustangs.
Thank you, Jennie! It was a treat.
Indeed! You’re welcome, Deborah.
Cool mustang shots! Hope no one fell into the swamp this time!
Guess you heard the runt eaglet died last week; I didn’t even see them fledge but if I get a chance on Saturday I’ll look for them. Been in WA shooting and hope I got some keepers. Did get some doorscursions done for future TD posts. 🙂
Thank you Gordon! No, no one fell into the swamp this time! 🤣
Oh no! I had not heard that one of the Eaglets died. How sad! I saw a couple of Anna’s images of an Eaglet on the ground and flying so, I thought all was well in the nest.
I hope you got lots of keepers and I’m looking forward to your future TD posts!
What beauty!
Thank you, Joey!
Oh, that trip was indeed worth it, Deborah. Just wonderful.

Thank you so much, Janet! It was a fun trip.
I am always in awe of your photos, Deborah! You captured the excited Stallions, well!
Thank you so much, Erica!
I’m forever in catch up mode and noticed you had a post recently. I’m getting closer to it!
Wow, you sound like me, Deborah. I fall behind and then I read a bundle of posts all at once. Life gets in the way. And , life is a priority:)
Excellent photos, Deborah. I love that action shot. The horse in motion and the spray. Perfect timing !
Thank you so much, Dan! Many times the action is so fast by the time you hear it, turn around, whip the camera into place they’re done squabbling so I miss it. 😁 This time they were really serious so I managed to get some action.
You did well. It’s a great combination.
The scenery is ideal. Beautifully captured Deborah!
Super images espacially that first shot.
Wow! What fabulous shots, Deborah. It must have been magical to see. Bonus– I love wild irises too. Hugs on the wing!
It was lovely! It’s mostly quiet, but these little spats add some excitement to a bit of Wild Mustang viewing.
The Wild Irises are so pretty! We were lucky to find so many still at peak.
Loved the photos!
Thank you so much, Marina!
Beautiful shots, Deborah.
I love that first photo. I was going to comment on the flowers enjoying their soggy roots before I even read your commentary.
Males will be males 😉
They do indeed! 😀 Thank you so much, Joanne for the lovely compliment on my images!
Your images are always stunning!
You’re too kind! xx

Happy Wednesday from you to me – gorgeous scenery, Mustangs, and flowers. Wow, I’m pretty darn happy. 🙂
Thank you so much, Judy! Did you get the Groundhog?
Not yet. I keep seeing him out there just snacking and acting like he owns the place. 🙂
Oh boy!
WOW! Breathtakingly beautiful shots!
Thank you so much, Jodi!
