Traffic-Stopping Turkeys In Pleasanton: Photos Of The Week

PLEASANTON, CA — No, it wasn't a crash that caused Friday afternoon's traffic snarl on Pleasanton's Main Street.

It was just a few turkeys, said Patch reader Diana Mendenhall, who was in the right place at the right time.

"Traffic came to a halt," she wrote. "The unfolding scene brought a moment of joy to all of us who observed this bright moment in an otherwise stressful time in so many lives."

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.
