Congratulations Paloma Ayala for winning our Working Lands Photo Contest! She sent this image of an orchard in Mosier, and said: "I’ve been capturing images of these orchards from various angles for the past 15 years, which has deepened my appreciation for their changing seasons and natural beauty."
