On Sunday night we hiked to the base of lower Yosemite Falls to catch the moonbow, but 30 or so photogs had beaten us to it...tripods all lined up in a row along the bridge, getting soaked in the mist. The moonbow was gorgeous sight, but by the time I squeezed into position, the clouds had come over and the moon disappeared.
Monday night we ended up at Cooks meadow for a view of the moonbow at Upper Yosemite Falls, serenaded by a choir of frogs.
Many thanks to my brother and nephew for joining me, who don't think I'm nutty at all for standing in a dark field in the cold in the middle of the night listening to frogs, waiting for the moon...and enjoying every moment xoxo

Just got back from a fantastic week in the Eastern Sierra. One of the highlights of the trip was attending the first "Ghost Walk" event at Bodie State Historic Park. Usually the park closes at 6pm, but this night it stayed open until 10pm. The ghost walk, led by park ranger Teri Geissigner, was very interesting and lots of fun, and to be able to see the stars over Bodie was fantastic. We did a bit of light painting, but this was a happy accident. One of the park ranger's truck, out of frame, had its brake lights on, which illuminated Bodie Methodist Church in red.
