Fiery Skies; Zoo Pumpkin Palooza: CA In Photos

CALIFORNIA – From its beaches to its deserts and mountains, from its lakes and forests to its small towns and big cities, there's just so much to see in California! And we got to thinking: Why not share the photos we receive, and see elsewhere, with you?

Thanks to Patch readers, we're able to share photos taken across the state. We hope you'll enjoy this week's "California In Photos," showcasing glimpses of daily life and scenery in Northern California, as well as down the coast in Southern California.
