Hello there, blue eyes!

Look at this fantastic mustang, Winchester. We spent a couple of days at the Sand Wash Basin Herd Management Area in northwestern Colorado photographing and observing the wild horses. This was only our second time going there and while it was light on action, it was a ton of fun to see these magnificent creatures.

As I trained my lens on Winchester, I was immediately drawn to those crazy cool blue eyes and he obliged by walking right by us. In the background, you see Bears Ears, two peaks that top out at around 10,500 and dominate the view to the southwest of where we were.

A special shoutout to Weekend Vibes Photography for showing us a few hotspots and backroads that we weren’t familiar with and will certainly take advantage of next time.
