The Feathered Ones Among Us: Los Gatos Photos Of The Week

LOS GATOS, CA – It's easy, at times, to overlook the unique beauty of birds, the feathered friends who live among us. And lucky for us, Patch readers Jeffery and Susan Lee recently snapped and shared two amazing shots of an egret and geese from Vasona Lake County Park in Los Gatos.

The snowy egret is striking against the dark slate-colored water, and the Canadian geese appear to be playing "King of the Hill" on a wood-chip pile.

These photos were recent catches on the Lees' regular walks along the Los Gatos Creek Trail.

Get out there, and take a hike! You could be missing nature at its best.

Thanks for sharing, Lees!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking 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 images that reflect the beauty that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents. Post it for free in our bulletin board section on the site or email it to autumn.johnson@patch.com.
