Wildlife; Wildfire Skies; Gobbler On A Stroll: CA In Photos

CALIFORNIA – Thanks to Patch readers, we're able to share photos taken across the state. And this week with the fires raging in both Northern and Southern California, many of the images reflect that -- with smoky skies and eerie sunsets. We also have some critter pics, and a seasonally appropriate photo of a turkey out for a walk.

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