Happy 4th of July… and the Horses are Back!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th of July this year.  We have fires in New Mexico and the states around us; I hope no one starts any new fires with fireworks.

We have a lot of smoky air today, the smoke is coming down from Colorado, but there are no fires near Bluewater Lake State Park.  Thank goodness.  There are still some good campsites available, and it's already after 3:00, which surprises me.  I thought we'd be full to overflowing by now.  Maybe we will luck out and have a quiet 4th.

The horses were back yesterday.  Following are some of the photos I took. The sun going down as I was shooting caused different colors in the horses and surrounding area. 

Horse waving his tail was neighing loudly - sounded like he was barking orders.

A scuffle broke out among the adult horses.

Things calmed down, and the baby started nursing.

These eight horses were in one area, moving together. Five adults, one yearling and two foals.

Our time is up again here at Bluewater Lake, so Katie and I are leaving tomorrow to do some blacktop camping.  We'll be back.  

From me and Katie, enjoy your holiday and stay cool and safe!  :)
