Sock Nectar

After climbing the Mist Trail, we were thoroughly soaked. The great rock platform on top of Vernal Falls, and between the falls and the Silver Apron, has been included in numerous photographs for over a century, and of course many photos are taken from this area.

On this beautiful and graceful granite ledge, with a view stretching for miles across Yosemite Valley, we took off our wet things and dried our clothes (and ourselves) in the sun.

For some reason, these butterflies were attracted to Julian’s socks. Was it the sock nectar? And, what did you photograph from the classic, iconic spot above Vernal Falls, Daddy? Why, some insects on some wet and dirty socks, of course!

Go figure, photographers are just weird. So are butterflies.
