What's your favorite season to photograph?

It should have been Yuciapa. East of San Bernadino in the mountains. They have an apple festival in the fall [autumn] with apple pie, cider, ... worth it with the fall colors.

I thought you might have meant Yucaipa. It borders Redlands to the east.

But the place you're thinking of is Oak Glen. Coming from the west on I-10 you go through Yucaipa to get there. It's twice the elevation at about 5000 ft. (snow in winter!) so is a nice place to head to when it's sweltering down here. I was just up there last week. Oak Glen Road loops from Yucaipa up to Oak Glen then back down to Beaumont, where I lived as a kid and again some years later. We used to go up at harvest time and again to play in the snow. From no snow to a foot or more in 20 minutes!

Oak Glen is not without its faults, though. Well, one big one. It sits directly atop the San Andreas.

Winter.....I don't have to get up insanely early for decent light!

I'd have to go with winter. The alabama summer is just too hot to do anything productive during the daytime, but being out at night is tolerable sometimes (Heatstroke and/or sunburn really takes the pleasure out of photography). PArts of the spring and autumn are out for me because I have crazy bad allergies (plants need to evolve a better way of making babies. during my lifetime would be nice )
