Dreamy Gradients On Laguna Beach Coast: Photo Of The Day

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — The sight of an uncrowded beach is sure to grow rare as the summer season takes hold of Laguna Beach.

Laguna Beach resident photographer Susana Cruciana regularly sets out into nature to photograph what she sees. She told Patch that she's an early riser, and tries to make it out to the beaches in the morning before the crowds and heat take over the coast.

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 with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution, horizontal images that reflect the beauty and fun that is California, and that show off your unique talents. Send your submission to your local Patch editor for a chance to be featured on the site.
