I finally got a chance to start going through some of the photos I took while traveling to and from Miscon, and decided to share the ones of Palouse Falls in eastern Washington first.
The falls are breathtaking, showing a classing PNW array of colorful lichens, but in a canyon in the middle of the desert. In the spring, with blush and green colors from fresh growth, it is particularly amazing.
The falls are inhabited by numerous critters, including yellow bellied marmots. Very fat yellow bellied marmots, that were convinced that I should have paid them in treats for their excellent modeling job. 🙂
In addition to the glut of marmots, I counted over twelve other photographers armed with tripods. I felt totally outclassed! But the scenery and inhabitants are so picturesque that it would be hard to leave without a few good shots.
