Homestead Sunrise | Backyard Beauties | Corduroy Clouds: CA In Photos

ACROSS 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. Take a look at this week's "California In Photos" for glimpses of daily life and scenery up the coast in Northern California and down the coast in Southern California.
