Winter in San Diego is quite different from most places in the US. It’s definitely milder but by living inland a bit (about 15 miles from the shore, past the first set of big hills), I get to enjoy more drastic changes in temperature than if I lived right by the coast. So while I can enjoy warm temperatures of 70 to 80 degrees on any given winter day, the winter nights are chilly, usually in the low 30s to 40s, and frost pays us a surprise visit many nights a winter.
I could brag and show you pictures of the warm blue skies and bold flowers we enjoy in the winter, but instead I’ll give you a taste of the cold aspect of winter here. Enjoy!
You’ll notice the frost here is more delicate and looks like a thin layer of sugar coating.
Winter in San Diego also means beautiful sunrises.
And beautiful sunsets, like this Christmas 2012 sunset.

Gosh that has cooled me down, it is roasting here at the moment. Lovely photograph 🙂
Haha, I was thinking the same thing when I was going through the photos. A cool, refreshing feeling I welcome in the heat of summer!
Beautiful post for the winter theme! Love the sunset!
Thank you very much! I was going to stick to the frost but then I remembered I like to take photos of the skies in the winter, especially at dawn and dusk. The winter sunrises and sunsets here are way prettier and more original in the winter than summer.
Glad you add the sunset. The frost pics are gorgeous too!
Thank you very much!
That sunset photo is amazing!
Thank you! As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to take a picture. It was a very special Christmas sunset for sure.
Beautiful display of your winter season!!! Thanks for playing!!!
Thank you! I missed the summer and fall challenges so I had to make sure I’d participate in the winter one.
Love those frosty images, they are helping to cool me off on this hot and muggy day! And the sunrise/ sunset photos are stunning!
Thank you, I used them to cool off here too. Most summer sunrises and sunsets aren’t very memorable, so winter is the season I’m looking forward to so I can photograph nice ones.
The first one is beautiful!
Thank you! I’m going to publish a 2014 photo calendar and I think that photo may be my December pick.
This leaves could be on an ice cold drink…
It would definitely cool things down.
