She swears that she's not as tall as she looks here.

You don't need to be a photojournalist to take a great picture on your cell phone. If you've documented some gorgeous scenery, captured kids being kids, a pet doing something funny or anything else unusual, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty of Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
