Diversification

Hi Folks,
Here is another from my recent trip to the Palouse.  The planting was starting late out there, lots of recent rain, so the light greens and browns were more prominent than usual, though here I caught a strip of yellow.  Apparently garbanzos are far more profitable than canola these days, so the colors of the region are likely to go the way of the market.

As usual, I appreciate any suggestions you have for alternative crops, additional processing, and other insights.  Yawns of boredom are also always respected as the sincerest form of critique ;-).  I have not been working in color much lately, so I'm a little out of practice with it.  Let me know know what you think

I love the sweet layers and patterns in the field. Great colors, too.

Hi Marylynne,
This is wonderful, with its varied colors, textures, and gentle lines. I also really like the little stand of trees in the background. The softness of the whole scene is appealing and I like how the colors fade out in the background. I find this image much more compelling than the last one you posted...more interest.

I agree with Kathy - this is your best so far. Keep up the good work. The squigglies in the lowest layer are really fascinating. 

I digg it.
