The Palouse region of Southeastern Washington State is among the most breathtaking landscape locations in the lower 48 states. \u00a0This year a combination of factors has changed the overall appearance. \u00a0A long snowy winter that did not let up until well into spring and falling wheat prices has led to\u00a0the farmers decision to not plant about 40% of the fields. \u00a0The result? \u00a0Lots of the images that show endless folds of lush green fields now show a patchwork of brown\u00a0and green and the green is behind the usual growth rate and in some cases looks thin compared to this time\u00a0of\u00a0the year’s usual appearance. \u00a0Still this is a beautiful place and we had lots of opportunities to capture the beauty. \u00a0It has been non-stop so I apologize for not posting sooner, but here are some of my favorites!<\/p>\n
