Unexpected Fall Colors in San Diego: A Photographer's Discovery in Del Mar
While scouting two luxury homes in Del Mar for a professional photography assignment yesterday, I passed this captivating residence. Del Mar, a prestigious coastal community in San Diego, is known for its elegant estates and meticulously manicured lawns.
The home's distinctive landscaping immediately drew my eye. It stands out boldly against the typical coastal style, and I absolutely love it! For a moment, it transported me to the East Coast in December, with its brisk air and abundance of colorful fallen leaves.
After nearly a decade in San Diego, I've grown nostalgic for seasonal changes. Don't get me wrong—I don't miss the snow or freezing Northern California winters from my upbringing—but I do cherish autumn foliage, the fresh scent after rain, fireside warmth, and capturing it all through my lens.
I often plan trips home or to iconic fall destinations, but when timing slips, I uncover local treasures like this Del Mar gem to photograph.
