SAN LEANDRO, CA — Who is a fan of the Minions films? Miyo Bernett grew this tomato in her San Leandro garden, and picked it in October while it was green. She nicknamed it Gru. The tomato is ripening nicely, perhaps in time for Thanksgiving?

Thank you for sharing your photos, Miyo!

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.
