CALIFORNIA — Here is this week's "California In Photos." With coronavirus stay-at-home public health restrictions easing throughout the Golden State, we can enjoy our surroundings anew.
We love seeing (and sharing!) all the pics our readers send in each week — whether they're digging through their camera rolls to find oldies but goodies or snapping new shots while out and about.

As California moves toward full reopening, we realize we've lived through unprecedented times —reminding us to never take anything for granted.
