Mustangs in the Mist

A couple of months ago, we were returning home from a fly fishing trip on the Green River in eastern Utah along the "mustang" highway between Dutch John, Utah  and Rock Springs, Wyoming. It gets its name because of the wild herd of mustangs that roams this high mountain area. I was telling our group that I see the mustangs almost every time I take this route. It was cold, had been snowing earlier and was foggy and misty. As we came around the bend, there they were right next to the snow drift fence, just as advertised ... free roaming, and majestic! (I'm sure my companions must have thought that I had set the whole thing up!) I couldn't wait to get home and paint the scene! Enjoy ...
