Palouse Falls
Palouse Falls drops nearly 200 feet into a large pool at the base of an amphitheater of eroded basalt. The falls were created by glacial floods during the Pleistocene epoch. The falls lie on the Palouse River about 4 miles from the Snake River in southeastern Washington. They seem all the more dramatic by being surrounded by flatlands that give no clue to their existence.

Cook Inlet
The Cook Inlet stretches about 180 miles from Anchorage south to the Gulf of Alaska. The Inlet provides navigable access for Anchorage and Homer. This image was captured in early September, 2006. Dark clouds alternated with patches of sun to create this dramatic scene.

Strawberry Sunrise
This is a view of the sun rising behind the Gabilan Range in the Salinas Valley with light reflected from plastic covered rows that will be planted in strawberries. The rows are wrapped in black plastic and treated with Methyl Bromide, a pre-plant soil fumigant used to control diseases and pests in agriculture. Methyl Bromide use is being phased out in California. The plastic made a nice reflective surface for the light of the rising sun. November, 2004.

Nashua Road Fields
Agriculture and farmers sustain us all. In this series of posts, I’ll share some images that are related to farming. This photograph is of fields ready for planting but still wet from Spring rains. These fields are near Nashua Road and Highway 1 near Castroville, California.

Echium plants in Pacific Grove
The large blooms look like feather dusters. Each spike is made up of tiny florets that are attractive to bees and hummingbirds. The plants are striking and make great foreground interest for wide-angle shots. The lens of the camera was 6 inches from the bloom in the lower left corner.
