Murrieta Hills 'Like A Watercolor' Painting: Photo Of The Week

MURRIETA, CA — Melissa Canada was recently hiking in the hills near Interstate 215 in Murrieta, facing east toward Lake Skinner.

Gazing at the view, she said, "It looked like a watercolor. What a beautiful valley we live in!"

Lucky for us, Melissa snapped a photo and shared. Gorgeous indeed.

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 (horizontal preferred) that reflect the beauty that is Southern California, and that show off your unique talents. So, please: bring 'em on.

Post them using our free Neighbor Post feature on the site or email to toni.mcallister@patch.com. Thanks.
