Turquoise Surf; Emerald Fields; B&W Surreal: This Is CA In Photos
It's your state; It's your shot. This is California -- in photos.

CALIFORNIA — From its beaches to its deserts and mountains, from its lakes and forests to its small towns and big cities, there's just so much to see in California! And we got to thinking: Why not share the photos we receive, and see elsewhere, with you?
Thanks to several Patch readers who've been very busy lately with their cameras, we're able to share the below photos taken across the state. We hope you'll enjoy this week's "California In Photos," which showcases glimpses of daily life and scenery in Northern California as well as down the coast in Southern California.
