Local Beauty: Contra Costa County Photos of the Week

MARTINEZ, CA — The beauty all around us is truly inspiring. Patch frequently asks our readers to send photos, which we feature online. Warren Katchmar sent us several photos taken in the Martinez area that took our breath away. It's easy to image these photos as screen savers or wallpaper.

Thank you for sharing them, Warren!

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.
