Here,
wheat growing in the Palouse region of southeastern Washington state –
dry heads on equally dry stalks stands awaiting
the farmer to combine it
and send it on its way to market.

Most of the wheat
produced in Washington is ‘Soft Red Winter Wheat,’ and ‘Soft White Wheat,’
which are used mostly in baking items other than bread.

Beautiful shot :)
Thanks for hosting :)
Stunning. Spiky magnificence.
Lovely shot. Thank goodness for our farmers.
Lovely details of the wheat heads, Madge.
Stunning shot of of the wheat. It is amazing to see those thousands of acres of wheat blowing in the wind. Our friend has a 30,000 acre wheat farm in that area – I just can’t imagine how long it takes to plow, plant and harvest that much. Lots of driving farm machinery.
Excellent close up.
Thanks for hosting!
Perfect specimens…have a great week♪
Love this time of year! Great shot so crisp and clear just like the season.
