It's cold outside today, so I started looking for some images of spring and ran across this image. It was taken just before the peas ripened around Walla Walla Washington in the foothills of the Blue Mountains.

Peas? Bah! Peas should be outlawed. What insidious miscreants peas are. Just look at those hills ... all ... p- puh puh .. pea colored. Run out there and stomp 'em all, ya hear me, git 'em, stomp 'em. Pleas! Blech!

(pretty light on the farm house tho' .. thumbs up ... But it's good you didn't put Peas in the name)

The pea field looks so different from the rest of the picture, it makes a fascinating contrast.

Oi KEIFER leave them peas alone, the rest of us like them :-)

Ya know, normally I don't like it when images are grainy, but with this one...it adds to the image for reasons I'm still not sure of. All I know is that I like it. Good work.

Very....Green....I like green, so top marks from me. Do you get up early every morning? Or is it just when the mood takes you? A lot of your shots have a great use of early morning light and shadows.

Hello Mike...I like this very much....Composition is all about how you arrange the elements of the scene in front of you. While you can't move the landscape, you will still have plenty of opportunities for perfecting your composition and this you have done successfully....Well done....All the best...Mick..
