Autumn Color In Full Glory: Photos Of The Day

SACRAMENTO, CA — It's hard to compete with nature when it comes to beauty. We try each December, with holiday lights and decorations, but as these photos in Barandas Park show, you just can't beat natural beauty.

Thank you, Claus Weisemann, for these photos taken last weekend.

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.
