Scenes from your shutdown: What readers have seen exploring their neighborhoods

We asked readers to submit photos of what they've seen on their neighborhood walks during the pandemic.|

Staying at home all day can be lonely and tedious, so we asked Press Democrat readers what they've seen on daily walks that makes every day a little more enjoyable.

Readers submitted photos of everything from newborn deer to colorful sidewalk chalk messages.

"We purchased a squirrel picnic table after seeing two squirrels almost everyday in our yard," Brie Quinn of Santa Rosa wrote in an email. "It took about a week before they tried it, and now they come every morning and have breakfast. Best purchase during the quarantine!"
