Spring 2015 saw a bunch of rain in the mountains just to the east of Reno, I had also previously taken photos of wild Mustangs with foals in those mountains. With so much rain I thought the timing could be right for wildflowers, So June 3rd, I took my trials bike to the Lovelock trailhead for the many trails that criss crossed the area. I was hoping to get both horses and wild flowers. 3/4 of the way up the first canyon I found the first mustangs, a family group with a young foal. latter as I rode up onto the high plateau I came across this meadow of yellow flowers, I could not believe my luck, there where 2 bachelor stallions resting in the middle of it. I quickly set up my camera and started shooting them from a variety of angles, until they finally had enough and move off, but not before I got a bunch of great photos.
