The Palouse Hills in Spring
Springtime is beautiful as the new crops carpet the hills, combined with freshly plowed earth, and the canola blooms here and there adding a splash of bright yellow to the scene. Old barns, fences, views of undulating fields of green, intimate scenes along the roadsides and the country towns of Palouse, Garfield, Colfax and more provide incredible photo opportunities.
