'Magical' Rainbow | Heroes Head Home: This Is Calif. (In Photos)

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 several Patch readers who've been very busy lately with their cameras, we're able to share the below photos taken across the state. For this week's "California In Pictures," we've got heroes heading into and then home from wildfires; panoramic Temecula Valley beauty; a glowing end of the day; and more.

We hope you'll enjoy these glimpses of daily life and scenery in Northern California as well as down the coast in Southern California.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch, we’d love to feature it here on Patch.

We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is California and that show off your unique talents. Share your best photos with Patch and your work could be featured in your community as well as in this weekly collection of California in pictures. Email your submissions to autumn.johnson@patch.com. Be sure to include your name, the city, location of the photo and date.
