A friend and I went to the Palouse in eastern Washington for a photo trip. She came from Chicago to OR for a niece's graduation which go her in the PNW before the canola fields bloomed with their bright yellow adding contrast to the rolling green hills. But we had wonderful cloud patterns and I decided to experiment more with black and white
