The young wheat in the Palouse during my spring workshop last year. An amazing night with great clouds and color! Can't wait to get back this year! #photography #landscapephotography #palouse #sunset
Silos in the Palouse area of eastern Washington. Not every year do the fields look this good, but when they do, it's a really nice shot. #photography #landscape #palouse #farming

Moscow, Idaho edit of the "Brazil Mentioned" reaction image. The background is an aerial view of the city in summer, with a pale blue sky meeting low mountains at the horizon. "MOSCOW, IDAHO MENTIONED" is at the top in forest green. The girl is wearing a white and gold shirt with the Vandals logo on it, a trucker cap with a Cascadia/Pride flag, and a Moscow Food Co-op button. She holds a bottle of Camas Prairie huckleberry mead in her left hand and a small bundle of winter wheat in her right.

Abandoned Farmhouse. The Palouse, WA. 2025 #davidgardnerphotography #lightight #palouse #wheat #farmhouse #abandond #farming #landscape #washington #wa
Zoomed in photo of very large waterfall, with heavily textured columns of brown water powerfully falling and surging back upward.
Minimalistic winter landscape photo: The frame is almost entirely white snow indistinguishable from the white sky. In the foreground is an X-shaped plant with small seeds visible around its stems. In middle ground are a few vertical lines of plant stems. In the distance appearing very small is a farmstead surrounded by a few bare trees.
Vertical photograph of patterned sunlight in water dancing on a golden sandy streambed. Keen eyes will notice near the center the subtle crescent curve of a small fish (Salt Creek pupfish) well camouflaged amidst the dappled light and ripples.
Landscape photograph of sweeping desert scene at twilight. A stony foreground ledge with a few bunches of dry grass overlooks a broad tawny valley empty save for a deeply incised arroyo that appears as a crack in the ground. Beyond is a dark, double-summited cone of a peak at top left, and still further off is a very steep-walled volcanic tower on the horizon. The sky above is gentle evening blue laced with misty pink sunset clouds.
February throwbacks: 1, 5, 10 and 15 years ago. Enlarge the watery one to play find-the-fish.

Early morning streams across Washington Stateβs Palouse area. The Palouse is noted for its idyllic setting, and this photograph totally leans into that. Weβre standing on Steptoe Butte, which not only is the tallest place for mies upon miles, but also offers an excellent vantage point. Below and around us, extending for miles upon miles, are farm fields and gently rolling hills. This is the Palouse at is best! The hills are as gentle as can be, but the low, rising sun casts plenty of shadows, scenting and defining each little hill. Most of the fields are deep, verdant green and the crop looks healthy. A few are fallow and bare, adding bits of light brown contrast to the scene. Scattered here and there are the buildings of a few farms. You can see some silos and, of course, a classic red barn. The buildings are small, further accenting the scale of the scene. The sky has some low clouds and pink tones that fade to blue toward the top. In far, far distance we can see a more significant mountain, but it is low and doesnβt have the typical mountain peaks. All told, the scene projects peace and tranquility.
Palouse Fields
Peaceful times are always worth the effort and struggle.

Photograph of hoarfrost covering branches of ponderosa pine. This array of branches has no evident needles and appears as a wide filigree of graceful curves, accentuated by the white outlining of delicate frost needles.
More frost...

Photo of icy river surrounded by sunlit grass, trees and cliff. The river has a graceful S-curve formed by the ice, with hints of reflected scenery in the patches of unfrozen water. The ice has a gentle blue color in contrast to the warm golden light on the rest of the scene.
Photo of hiker in a winter landscape. The hiker appears small under a dramatically leaning conifer tree. Behind him, other trees can be scene fading into white mist. There is light snow on the ground.
Photograph of expansive desert landscape with wildflowers and stormy skies. The yellow flowers form a sprinkling of gold on a rocky foreground hill. Stony outcrops extend away into a large empty valley, beyond which is a range of dark mountains under clouds. At upper left a small patch of yellow and orange sunset light is visible at a gap in the mountains.
Vertical landscape photo of warm tan sandstone outcrops. Two ponderosa pines stand a little off and between them a large mountain can be seen on the far horizon.
Throwback: January images from 1, 5, 10 and 15 years ago

A set of hoarfrost photos from an amazing morning last week

Closeup photograph of ponderosa pine covered in very long hoarfrost needles. The scene is almost totally frost-covered, but the distinctive firework-burst shape of ponderosa needles at the end of a branch can be made out. The frost needles spread everywhere, looking like the almost fuzzy spikes of an especially nasty cactus.
Not much real #cold around here this winter, but there was some incredible frost this week.

Tall yellow grasses, a creek (Hangman Creek), and trees - most have shed their leaves, but some are golden. In the distance, the northern hills of the Palouse. Taken just outside Latah on Hwy 27, on the border of Whitman and Spokane Counties.
The slope of a green hill, sprouts of the winter wheat starting to grow. In the background, the peaks of Tekoa Mountain are dusted with snow. Taken just outside of Latah, on the border of Whitman and Spokane counties.
Looking south to Tekoa, the Palouse to Cascades Trail Trestle stretches across two hills, brown with green winter wheat sprouting in rows. The hazy mountains in the distance are capped with snow.
Spent a bit of time driving around today. This time last year, these scenes would have been gray and white with feet of snow.

A quintessential scene from the Palouse in Eastern Washington! I have two workshops planned in 2026 and can't wait to get up there again. #photography #landscapephotography #washington #palouse
Another quick #littlelandscape in #watercolor inspired by Hannah Pickerill and a photo by Jarred Decker on Unsplash #palouse
Photo of patches of green grass in the foreground and the loess hills of the Palouse in the background. Taken on top of Kamiak Butte.
Photo of a trail up Kamiak Butte showing lush green grass grasses and moss on the rocky hill slopes on the left of the trail.
The #palouse is looking pretty green for it being early January.
Vertically oriented photograph of massive waterfall, highly zoomed in. Th entire frame is filled with falling or surging water. The water is very brown with white highlights and appears very textured. The upper part of the frame is full of an enormous sheet of falling water, while lower down is a column surging back upward from the forces of the water's impact.
Another from my 2025 favorites collection:
