It's Your Shot: Pictures You Take and We Share

Have you got the next incredible photo? 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 on Patch. We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is the North Bay, and that show off your unique talents.

So, bring 'em on. No selfies. Not here.

Send your photos to autumn.johnson@patch.com and we'll post the feature on an occasional basis. In your email, please be sure to include information about when and where the shot was taken and any other details about what was going on. Or — post your picture to the Neighbor Posts section of Napa Valley Patch and send the link to napa@patch.com so we can feature it in our weekly "CA In Photos."
