Winter in San Diego looks a little different from what you might expect in other parts of the Northern hemisphere. The days are mostly sunny but definitely cooler, and we can have very clear mornings, or a lot of fog.

We don’t get snow in town, but our mountain caps less than an hour away do get the white stuff. If we’re lucky we get some rain, which we desperately need. I took this photo of my car roof a few days ago. I loved how the clouds reflected on it among the rain drops but all I had to capture the sight was my cell phone camera. I’m still happy with the way it came out.

And if it’s cold enough, we get frost.

I’m working on a post about Christmas lights, but for this winter theme, I thought I’d preview one of my newest photos. Winter means Christmas and the joy of going to look at Christmas lights.

I love those rain drops and colorful patterns on your car – a great abstract image.
Thank you! I really wanted to capture it with my good camera but I knew it’d be all gone if I drove home.
Great raindrops shot, Milka!
Thank you! The more I look at it, the more I like it.
Your car looks well waxed to leave such pretty droplets. 🙂
It sure does! I use the wax setting to finish off when I go to the car wash to clean it by myself. It obviously does a good job. Unfortunately I have to wait 3 months until I can use wax again because of the new paint job on a quarter of my car after the accident.
