Beautiful Field Trip In Calipatria: Photos Of The Day

CALIPATRIA, CA — Neighboring Imperial County helps feed the nation with its vast agricultural fields of lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, cantaloupes, honeydews, onions, carrots, sweet corn, spinach and watermelons, among others.

Alora Martinez captured the feel of the area in a series of photos taken in Calipatria, just north of El Centro. In the images she's shared here, the region's dry heat and smell of growing produce are almost palpable.

Thank you Alora!

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.
