Thank you for sharing your photo with Patch, Mike and Kitty!

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 Orange County, and that show off your unique talents. Photos should be horizontally shot, high quality — and no selfies, please.
