The Amazing Palouse -
Washington State, Photoblog
The Palouse region in eastern Washington is
known for its rolling farmlands and miles of scenic byways.
It's an amazing place for photographers and visitors alike,
especially in June when the wheat and lentil fields take on different shades
of green. I have visited the region a few times now and in this
photoblog I combined my favorite photos (32) from the trips.
