Springtime in Yakima County

I love the picture of the petals on the ground. It's beautiful. It reminds me of our palo verde trees in the spring which carpet our streets and lawns with yellow! I know several have said they want more of the tree. I don't think it's about the tree. It's about the carpet of petals, and that's beautifully displayed.
I am interested in the picture of the hops. It appears to have something planted between the rows of vine strings. Is that double cropping or simply conservation planting?

I like them all. Nice compositions Linda. I especially like the layering effect in #1.

Re the hops, it's the first time I remember anything planted between the rows like that. I will surely investigate further because my interest is piqued. Maybe it is about water and soil conservation as you suggest, based on this harvest photo from 2016: https://static.uglyhedgehog.com/upload/nt/2016/9/8/286347-2_img_8873_1a.jpg

Agree with others on 2 and 4. Very nice. Do you need permission to go out into the fields in Yakima?

The leading lines in #2 led me so far away I got lost.

"No trespassing" signs are posted everywhere. I wouldn't attempt, especially given how often they are working on one thing or another (prune, spray, thin, pick...on and on). Agree with others on 2 and 4. Very nice. Do you need permission to go out into the fields in Yakima?
Appreciate your comments, Mark!

LOL, no worries. That horizontal textured dark mass at the end of the row is a steep, sage-brush covered hill. If the climb doesn't kill you, the rattlesnakes might The leading lines in #2 led me so far away I got lost.

Even without heavy PP I like it. Shows more of the trees surrounding. The pedals on the ground reminds me almost like a reflection of the pedals on the tree.

Enjoyed the different stories in them all. The first ones speaks of tension, oblique lines of graphics and colors. The second of plants growing taller than I am, the 3rd of textures, hard stones, prickly plants and further out soft blossoms of blooming trees and the last of the season to come.
