REDWOOD CITY, CA — In the 1950s and 60s, camellia bushes were a common sight in Bay Area yards, and many are still thriving. Kathy Parara snapped this photo of her father's pink camellias. She took the photo last month, and we are grateful for a splash of beauty on a bleak day. Thank you for sharing, Kathy!

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 that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
