Golden Poppies; Glowing Waves; Desert Blooms: CA In Photos

CALIFORNIA — Here is this week's "California In Photos." With a stay-at-home public health order still in effect across the Golden State to ward off the coronavirus, we encourage readers to dig through your camera rolls and share your finds with us. We'd also love to see pics of how you're spending your time sheltering in place, as well as what you come across on those rare occasions when you're out for exercise or a grocery run.

During these trying, unprecedented times, we are reminded to never take anything for granted. Click through the links below to see how your fellow Californians are faring while staying in and keeping their distance.

Whether you're an amateur, a professional, an Instagrammer or just the one who always has their phone or camera ready so as not to miss that perfect shot, we're excited to view and share your work. 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, we’d love to feature it here on Patch.

We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is California and that show off your unique talents. Share your best photos with Patch and your work could be featured in your community as well as in this weekly collection of California in pictures. Email your submissions to autumn.johnson@patch.com. Be sure to include your name, the city, location of the photo and date.
