I thought I’d use this challenge as an opportunity to share a few photos I took earlier this week after we welcomed some rain in San Diego. I wanted to photograph the raindrops and although there isn’t much colorful to reflect in the garden at this time of year, I had fun finding reflections of the other plants, as well as the iron fence behind the flower wall. These pink flowers are actually snapdragons I planted a few weeks ago.

Raindrops have such an amazing way of capturing the light and reflecting it.

This next image makes me think of a frog staring at me with big eyes on the top of its head!

I love how the straight iron fence becomes so curvy when it is reflected in the raindrops.

Sometimes I use stones as a background for my photos, for example to feature raindrops on a spider web.

Travel theme: Stones covered with raindrops on spiderweb

In San Diego, water is a precious resource and stones and rocks are often used as a ground cover among succulents.

I love this stairway on the trail made out of stepping stones.

Sometimes nature leaves you a hidden message as you walk by, like this face in the stone.

Humans have a less subtle way to get the message across on stones.

I enjoyed taking this photo of pink grasses as they shoot across the horizon in the foreground.

Here’s the horizon on top of the mountains in Idyllwild, California. On that clear day, you could see up to 100 miles away.

How about this moon going up the horizon in the daylight?

I love the beauty of the horizon at sunrise.

Festival of leaves - week 4 - maple tree fall foliage

Festival of leaves – week 4 – rare maple tree sighting in San Diego

Today I’m taking part in the photo challenge called Festival of Leaves (this is week 4). You can view my contribution to week 1 and week 2. You can click on each photo for a larger view. If you like what you see, I encourage you to subscribe so you can enjoy the new photos I post a few times a week.

Unlike the East Coast, it’s a challenge to see some colorful fall foliage in the San Diego area. After all, most of our landscape is covered with chaparral, California sage brush, a variety of grasses and tons of cacti. So you can imagine my pleasant surprise when I happened to drive right by this beautiful maple tree during a recent day trip to the mountain town of Julian, California, about an hour away from San Diego.

It was standing tall and proud in someone’s large front yard. I can’t imagine how ecstatic those people must be every fall when the leaves of their tree start turning. Here’s a closer look at these beautiful leaves. By the way, it was an absolutely beautiful day after the very windy Santa Ana winds died down.
