Hello, my friends! In my previous post on our trip to The Palouse, I shared the views from the top of a 4,000 foot butte. Today, the views are from the land, deep among the rolling fields, looking up at awe-inspiring skies. Seemingly endless dirt roads lead in tantalizing directions, mysterious and compelling. We followed them for hours – getting lost as we chose.
And finally, on our last morning, we headed down a quiet country road on our way home. Suddenly, D spotted in the distance a herd of horses, galloping across a field. We screeched to a halt amid a cloud of dust, grabbed our cameras, which fortunately were ready on the seat, and ran toward the field. The horses turned, heading for us at full speed, and we were able to shoot just a few frames. I am not a horse photographer but I was so grateful to be there, have my camera with the correct lens and capture images of these magnificent animals. It was an exhilarating moment!
Thank you to everyone who shared their stories of this area in the comments. The Palouse graced us with many stunning and surprising subjects and this final treat was without a doubt the indelible highlight of a memorable and dreamlike journey.
Wishing you all a beautiful weekend!
much love,
G

Dear Georgianna – I missed your previous post – but what magical photographs of an area I have never seen before. Your reward in getting up so early is clear to see.
The horse photos are breathtaking – they look as if they are thundering straight towards you – the sense of artistic satisfaction and achievement is palpable.
OH G!!!!! I was so excited when I got your email and you talked about photographing the horses – they are spectacular shots!!! I just love them!!! Wish I would have been there with your – what a thrill!!!
I’m really amazed by the look of this magical landscape. What a treat at the very end of your trip. You must have been so very excited when first hearing and then seeing those horses and have your camera right there at hand. Beautiful pictures of beautiful animals.
Have a lovely weekend Georgianna.

So many wonderful images, a land dripping in beauty and majesty. What a pleasure to view, even if it creates a desire to wonder the world beyond. Thankful for the beauty you bring to us where ever we live..
All of these are fab. Love them all. Thanks for sharing the bloglovin. I miss google reader.
Oh WOW! These are so beautiful. I love them all, but especially your images of the horses – what an amazing moment to have captured (although I have to say that I would have been a little alarmed if they started heading towards me, eek!).
Have a beautiful weekend!
Your photos are amazing….you have captured the essence of why we call this “America, the beautiful….from sea to shining sea”.
Dear Georgianna, Absolutely stunning photography. Whether it is your sensational flower photos or haunting photos of Venice or Paris and now, the Palouse, in each case your photography brings out the specialness and wonder of the place. ox, Gina
Y de nuevo increible! que maravilloso paisaje es un país dentro de otro país, no? Aquí es impensable imaginar una manada de caballos corriendo en libertad, tus hermosas imágenes me hacen creer que las bellas peliculas que nos llegan a Europa no nos mienten. Guardo tus bellas imágenes para inspirarme en mis acuarelas. Gracias por compartir belleza!
The Palouse is a stunning area and you’ve captured its beauty so well, very artistically in many instances. Those horses are my faves, of course, they’re beautiful! Thank you, georgianna. Great calendar material of course! :)
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Those rolling green hills and then fields of galloping horses. How amazing to have been there in person!

What a great photographer you are! So wonderful photos!

Since I am very familiar with this area G, I was thrilled to see it through your eyes this time. It is one of the most magnificent vistas one will ever see in their lifetime. I feel so grateful to have traveled some of this area since I was a very young child. It always seems timeless.
sending hugs…
Dear Georgiana,
In the previous post, the shadows on the hills are amazing, all the curves combined with deep green and soft blue make an incredible vista.
I like the barns you photographied and the old farm. You do not have this kind of barns in France. They have such a charm. Very inspiring.

Hello my Friend,
What can I say.. but you did it again. You took my breath away . I thought I had seen so much beauty in one day with the post above this one. Stunning images. Beautiful . The horses are beauties.
This is wonderful G! Such a very different and beautiful landscape that you have captured so well. And the horses… oh what amazing images…love them. How lucky can you get to have that happen right before your eyes/lens!
Some of my happiest memories of my younger days were hours spent riding my horse. I loved it!
It is such a delightful pleasure to visit and see your incredible work my friend. Hope your summer is going well. Here it is hot and humid!

Oh, dear G, the horses are just great! What a lucky shot, looks exciting! Lovely capture of the lady bug. And what’s the flower beneath, a dog-rose?
Oh I missed this post! How magnificent! I need to take a trip over the mountains, never been to that area, but it’s on my list. Those horses, wow, how lucky for you to have been there at that moment!
late again… I know. But OMG, these are magnificent !! Wow. Stunning. Not that I’ve ever tried, but I know how difficult it is to photograph horses. Just gorgeous, everything. L
Oh, I do. I do love my life!
And I love your happy, smiling, dancing self.
