I hope you like these photos. Personally, the last one is my very favorite and I may consider including it in my 2014 photo calendar when it’s time to pick.

We don’t get a lot of rain in San Diego. In fact, it didn’t rain for about six months until this past week, when first we had a few showers for a day, then slow but steady rain the next day. I love to see nature awaken with the welcome moisture, after looking stagnant for so long. And rain drops can be a great opportunity to snap some interesting pictures.
I first tried photos of rain drops on leaves and a few flowers. The results were OK but not too impressive. But then, I spotted something unusual in my backyard among the rocks and it got my attention right away. I knew I had to run inside and grab my camera.
Now, you need to know I hate spiders. I didn’t say dislike, I said hate. I can’t stand those things crawling around my house, my sanctuary. If they enter, they must die. I have no Buddhist thoughts whatsoever when it comes to spiders in my home. I’ll tolerate them outside (as long as they don’t look like they’re trying to get inside my house) and their spider webs can be interesting to look at. Well, except for the black widow spider webs, which are a complete mess.
Rain drops can make a spider web look quite pretty. I’m sure you’ve seen hundred of photos of wet spider webs, covered with fresh rain drops. But I’ve got something different for you. This is what caught my attention: rain drops on a spider web over river rocks. Remember you can click on any of the photos below for a larger view.

I love sunsets and how the sun tries to burn up the sky as it goes past the horizon at the end of the day. But there’s something very special about sunrises too, where the sun manages to light up the sky for several minutes before you can actually see it. That’s when the sky can suddenly feature some amazing colors. The best sunrises (and sunsets) usually display some type of clouds, which deflect the sunlight in many directions and shades of color.
I took the sunrise photo below on a winter morning almost a year ago. As soon as I looked at the sky, I knew it’d be one of these special sunrises and I hoped my camera batteries weren’t dead because I wouldn’t have time to grab spares. There’s something about the winter light that can makes for great sunrises. This sunrise makes it look like the clouds are on fire. I tried to take pictures of the clouds once they passed the trees, but by then the light had already changed. Better luck next time!

I live in San Diego, in Southern California. I enjoy beautiful weather probably two thirds of the year. The baking heat of the summer is the bad part, but the skies can still be beautiful. On many days, the weather looks like this. Not a single cloud in the bright blue sky.

On a cloudy day, which is a rare occasion, the skies will look like this. You can still find plenty of blue sky even when the weather isn’t so great.

On a rainy day, which is even rarer than a cloudy day, things get wet, but they still look pretty. Here’s a wet California lemon enjoying the precious rain. Yep, it’s the one I’m featuring in my 2013 photo calendar, which is now set up for sale by the way (I haven’t launched it officially yet, but it’s coming…).

And of course, after the rain comes more sun. Things may still be a little wet, but the blue sky we enjoy on most days doesn’t like to miss a beat. This is Southern California weather for you in a nutshell!

There isn’t a lot of fall foliage in San Diego but sumac trees are a treat to spot. Their leaves display various shades of yellow, orange and red and the tree also features grapes of crimson red seeds in between the leaves.

And more sumac!
