Vibrant Beauty By The Bay: Photos Of The Day

ALAMEDA, CA — Andrena Zawinski has creativity in her DNA. Not only is she an award winning poet living in Alameda, she also has an eye for photography, capturing the five glorious photos above right here at home.

Most of the photos were snapped on Bellena Isle, although the heron are on Bay Farm Island.

Read more about Andrena's poetry, and pick up a copy of one of her books to support a local artist.

Thank you, Andrena!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
