Last of Palouse

Tom winds up his stay in the Palouse area. Here are some images that we have not seen before.

And perhaps my favorite so far . . . well, maybe a co-favorite!

He has enjoyed your comments. When Tom returns home he will get to the many photos he has not even processed yet. My hope is that he creates a gallery of his final selects on his website. When he does we will let you know.

Tom is in Portland today with the Japanese Gardens as his choice of shooting location. I am looking forward to the photos.

Have a great day!

Day in Paradise (Palouse)

Wouldn't you just love to be a fly on Tom's shoulder as he shoots the day away? He was excited when I spoke to him early in the day. "We have these nice clouds. Gotta go!"

Tom threw me a curve!

One of many things that makes Palouse so much fun to shoot is the constantly changing light and reflections from the rolling hills.  Add a bit of color, curves, clouds and a creative photographer and you end up with some very nice images.

When you see photos of Palouse you often see this vibrant yellow. Those are the canola fields. Tom had to ask around (what better than a farm supply store) where the canola fields were this year. "Well, there are some up towards Palouse Falls." Tom said it is six feet tall.

Tom is headed towards Portland this morning. There is a Japanese Garden there that he wants to check out. But, it may take him a day to get to Portland and we will have interesting photos of his meanderings.

I am going to check out Canyon de Chelly again and then head to Arches. Life is very good. Thanks for coming along with us. You are dear friends and if you get a feeling that I am checking in with you, "Wonder how Jon, Rick, Phyllis, Kati, Susan, Karen . . . . would shoot this?"  You would be correct.

Palouse Garden

This would be tough to pull off in our climate! This is the garden mentioned yesterday. Tom spent almost an hour clicking away and visiting with the woman whose garden it is. She was very hospitable and invited him back any time. He may just do that. Enjoy.

This garden looks so serene and peaceful. If I ever go back to Palouse I want to visit with the woman who has created this gorgeousness.

Tom's computer is not behaving so he has a Genius Bar appointment in Spokane this morning. Hopefully it will be a small fix and he will be back to sending more photos later today.

Have a great week everyone.
