Calling All Amateur Photographers — Share Your Walnut Creek Pics

If a picture says a thousand words, then Walnut Creek Patch wants to write a novel.

We're looking for pictures of Walnut Creek that capture the culture of a community, share a beautiful scene, or tell a story.

Get snapping and then upload your photos to the Walnut Creek Patch Neighborhood Gallery.

The best photos will be used for features like "Pic of the Day," "Where in Walnut Creek?" and "Delicious Mystery."

Here are the kind of pictures we're hoping for from Walnut Cree photographers, whether you're using a smartphone or a professional camera:

• Food photos from local restaurants
• Landscapes, such as sunsets and views of Mount Diablo
• Pictures of local nature, including flowers and trees
• Walnut Creek event photos
• Pictures that capture life in Walnut Creek

Please include a caption with your photo describing where it was taken and any relevant context. All photos will be attributed to the photographer and may be used in future Patch articles.

How would you describe Walnut Creek in a single photo, or a dozen? Share your pictures here.
