Had to go to the ranger station first thing this morning to get my car hang tag, as I’d gotten in after they closed the day before. When I mentioned to the ranger about the ponies not making it easy to stay away from them, she chuckled and said “Yep. To them we’re just obstacles.”

She was proved right a couple of hours later, when I encountered this little family:

This is Autumn Glory and her brand new foal, who has the most gorgeous markings! Those white stockings! However, I had to keep backing up or hiding around my car/camper, as they sauntered right through my campsite.

This guy is Phoenix—regulars tell me he may or may not be the daddy, but he is not letting them out of his sight.

Yes, that’s the taillight of my car that is right behind them as the foal has a brief snack. And then they were off:

I had planned to go kayaking, but the wind is just howling. I’ll hope it dies down some before the rain comes in on Thursday. Time for more walks with Moe, and a little birding.
