Backyard Beauty: Milpitas Photo of the Week

MILPITAS, CA — If your backyard is like mine the weekend freezes took a toll on vegetation. My tomato plants are history. Unfortunately, a few bushes that normally make it through the winter also look like they've been killed by the frost. We'll trim them back and see if they return next spring.

Here's a photo that I snapped using my iPhone last spring. I love the pink geraniums peeking out from behind the iris.

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 that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.

Post it for free in our bulletin board section on the site or email it to autumn.johnson@patch.com.
