Meteors; Butterflies; Bobcat; Birds & Bees: CA In Photos

CALIFORNIA — Thanks to Patch readers, we're able to share photos taken across the state, from both Northern and Southern California.

We hope you'll scroll through this week's "California In Photos."

Click on links under the images to learn more about where each picture was taken. So sit back, and enjoy the show!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids being kids or a silly pet, we'd love to feature it on Patch. We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and uniqueness of California. Send your photos to autumn.johnson@patch.com, and please include when and where the shot was taken.
