The Amazing Palouse - 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 and in this photoblog I combined my favorite photos from the trips.
