Later winter and early Spring finds farmers and ranchers ramping up for the coming season.
I am so excited that I will again get to spend Spring Break from school in the Palouse. It has been two years since my last week long trip to southeastern Washington state. The undulating and folding hills grow some of the best wheat in the United States and the beauty of the region is a photographers’ paradise. I love spending time there, the days that I spend refresh me inside in heart, mind and spirit. Driving several hundred miles a day I visit many small communities and rural roads. Over the course of a week I’ll take about 2,000 images. Each filling my mind with beauty that I carry and reflect upon at a moments notice. Here a wheat farmer plows his piece of the Palouse…
Thanks for joining me today for the view that is right here! ~ Madge

This is a gorgeous pic! Your trip sounds so amazing. I have never been to Washington State, but I hope to, one of these days.
Have a great time on your spring break! It’s always nice to get away for a few days and see/do something different. Looking forward to seeing your pictures!
I would love to visit Washington! When we went to Wisconsin I took about that many photos myself! Love all the farm life, apple farms, scenery!
A photography adventure — and well-deserved, bus driver lady! I can’t wait to see more of these rural photos. :)
Have an awesome day, Madge.
now i’m singing “take you for a ride on my big green tractor”…..the color is wrong lol…but the image is a beauty!
Beautifully composed shot!
this one deserves at least 3 WOWS!!!! i love the flowing movement of the photo and it looks like the tractor could just roll down the hill. have a wonderful time snapping
That’s a very, very dynamic shot… the angles are fantastic, makes me feel quite dizzy!
Nice to see farmers are out in their fields there. It’s too early here.
Yes, farming at its finest!! You’ll have an awesome trip…with hundreds of great photos too!
what a great hillside shot. enjoy your spring break!
You most certainly captured the “undulating” part of the scenery. Well shot Madge.
Oooh, photo ops, photo ops! This has a really neat feel to it Madge. Enjoy your week! We will reap the benefits of your trip upon your return when you share the photos.
Excellent photo.
Regards and best wishes
What a great shot with all those angles! :) Have a good trip and we will all enjoy seeing your pictures!
Wonderful capture of farm life. You have a knack for being in the right location to get an honest and yet artistic view of every day activities. Enjoy your Spring Break and I look forward to seeing your pictures.
That sounds like our trips to The Palouse – I took over 1600 photos during our last trip. It is an amazing and spectacular area – so many different things to see and enjoy. I love this shot of the tractor on the hillsides – some of them seem so steep that it makes you wonder if the tractor will stay upright.
Now that would be a peaceful job.
Enjoy your visit. Nice shot!
