Need A Smile Today? Santa Cruz Co. Photo Of The Week

CAPITOLA, CA – Had a trying week? Many did. But one thing on which we're not divided is we know a really awesome photo when we see one! Like this beach shot from Halloween in Capitola.

"Here's a pic of my friends and I on our first annual Capitola Sea Witches Halloween SUP Session," writes reader Wendy Cumming. "We took off from Capitola beach on the 31st in stormy waves and had the time of our lives! Next year we've got at least 20 more ladies committed."

Totally brightened our day, and thanks for sharing, Wendy!

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 that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.Post it for free in our bulletin board section on the site or email it to autumn.johnson@patch.com.
