I love the springtime in the Palouse for many reasons: goodbye to snow, hello to greens, clouds aplenty, and rain storms visiting frequently. The bane of landscape photographers is clear skies. Though a clear sunny day is definitely beautiful, it isn’t entirely picturesque when you desire to photograph landscapes. The ever-changing springtime weather is very enjoyable. The clouds could look menacing, just to clear up 30 minutes later with beautiful sunlight streaming through accentuating the escaping clouds. Here is a sampling of a Palouse spring:

Very nice, Aaron! The first is a gorgeous shot by any standard, but Spring Growth and Fall Remnants is the one I feel would really stand up in the long run. Those faint tire tracks coming in from the right make a very satisfying grace note.
