When people hear Walla Walla, most think of onions or wine, two commodities grown in this region. To my eyes, driving through Walla Walla earlier this week, I saw wheat, wheat, and more wheat. I did see one small onion field on our way in, and I wish I would have stopped for a photo. I saw that the onion festival was in June, so maybe that crop has an earlier harvest then I realized. I was trying to find a vineyard (tasting rooms abound!) but missed that too. Next time I visit, I'll need to make more time for touring around the countryside! Loved all the wheat, with harvest just beginning on a few fields, and this terrific little grain elevator, deep in the fields.

This is a beautiful picture! I have college friends in Walla Walla, and had no idea that it was farming country! (obviously I've never been to visit!)
Walla Walla * merci de nous faire découvrir ces champs de céréales * le temps des moissons arrive *
I like the blue sky and puffy clouds you captured in this image. I've heard the countryside around Walla Walla is very scenic.
What a great Photo! -- barbara
Melissa you were through our area and I didn't know it. I live in Walla Walla. Wheat has long been a staple crop around here along with the onions and now the Vineyards. Look me up next time you pass through.
