Here are close ups of two of the orbs/snowflakes from the wintry scene nature photograph posted on this blog on December 27th. I magnified these “orbs” to see how they would compared with the orb picture close up posted yesterday. As you can see, yesterday’s orb has an internal border and internal organization. The close ups of the orbs or snowflakes do not. What do you think now? Are the following images orbs or snowflakes?
On the left, a close up of two “orbs” floating in the December 27th wintry scene. On the right, a close up of an “orb” photographed against a tree trunk.

You decide. Are these orbs or snowflakes?

Here are some gorgeous photographs taken by Norman Thomas of Courtenay/Comox, British Columbia, with orbs in them. These photographs were taken in 2005 at a the Kawakwaka’wakw Nation in which participants were performing a traditional dance in the “Big House” at Alert Bay, BC. Alert Bay is on Cormorant Island, which is just off the northeast coast of Vancouver Island near Port McNeill.





Although the next and last photograph does not display any orbs, that I can see, nonetheless, it is my favourite and so I have included it.

Thank you, Norman, for making these photos available to us. Even without the orbs, the photographs are fantastic!

Hi again,
I promised you more orbs photographs from recipients of this enewsletter. Here are some of them.
These orbs photos are from Michael Day. As before, I’ve also included close ups of various orbs. By the way, for your information, you can see these photograph in an enlarged format if you click on them.
This orbs photo shows a close up of the orb floating above the man in blue with his hands in a prayerful pose. I’ve used Photoshop‘s “brighten and contrast” feature to bring out the patterns in the orb. By doing so, I inadvertently exposed more orbs than were previously visible.
Although these photos were submitted specifically to show orbs in a photograph, I also enjoy the opportunity to view the experience of being at a spiritual retreat in India. This photograph also shows a couple of golden orbs.
A close up of the large orb in the above photograph.
I like this close up because it shows a number of orbs superimposed one on top of the other. I also like that you can see how transparent they are and the patterns within the orbs.
This final orbs photos shows a cloud of orbs. If they truly are spirits, as some people believe, there certainly were many attracted to this spiritual retreat in India.
A close up of the glowing orb above the man’s head in the above orbs picture – lovely.
Thanks, Michael Day, for sending these orbs photos to me so I could share them with others.
There are still more Orbs Photos to come and I will post them when I get home from Yucatan. I’m leaving tomorrow to take the final footage for my 2012 movie.

This is from Marianna Vanderklift in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada. She sent this fun orb picture of her cousin, David Chasse, who is a singer and performer in Holland.
The orb is floating over the cousin’s right thigh. He’s dressed up in red and green finery for a Christmas greeting that reads, “Merry Christmas Baby!” What fun!
Here is a close up of the above orb. I’ve used brightness/contrast in Photoshop to make the orb more visible against the black coat. Amazingly,this orb appears to have a comical face in it. Is this just a coincidence or the face of the spirit represented by the orb?
Here, again, is the close up of the orb in one of the orb photos taken by Margaret G. in New Zealand posted February 13, 2009 on this blog. This orb also appears to have a face in it. Margaret has subsequently informed me that what I thought might be a goatee in this image is actually a light switch on the wall behind the orb. Oh!
Thanks, Marianna for sending the fun picture of your cousin.

As promised, here are more emails I received from readers of my enewsletters about their experiences with and opinions of orbs:

When I began writing about orbs, I received many emails from readers of my enewsletters containing comments about orbs. I had specifically asked:
Here are some of the answers:

Margaret G., North Island, NZ, was kind enough to send these orbs photos. The first three were taken within a few seconds of each other. Margaret says that she stayed still as she took the photos. However, when she looked at the photos afterwards, she could see that the orbs had been moving.
Because of the light background, some of the orbs are very difficult to see. Therefore, Margaret drew lines on the photographs to show the location of the orbs.
These are photos of Margaret’s husband and their granddaughters.
Please note the large orb at the foot of the chair on the right. Margaret says that their now-deceased Labrador dog used to lay exactly in that spot. She says that “The children loved him, and I’m wondering if that actually was him visiting!”
Here is an enlargement of the large orb situated at the spot where Margaret’s beloved Labrador dog used to sit.
I find it interesting that so many of the orbs I’ve shown enlarged have a definite ring around their perimeter as does this one.
Note the orb floating at the top of the photo.
Here is that orb enlarged and brightened/contrasted with Photoshop. Do you see what appears to be two eyes, a nose, a little mouth, and a wee goatee?
A few seconds later and the large orb where the dog used to sit is gone as is the orb that, when enlarged, appeared to have a face. There are only multiple orbs that are difficult to see against the light background.
While many of us in the Northern Hemisphere usually experience winter temperatures at New Year’s Eve, Margaret and her family were out camping in New Zealand on New Year’s Eve, 2006.
Here’s a close up, which has also been brightened/contrasted in Photoshop, of the orb in the middle of the photo above. Again, it has a distinct ring around the perimeter.
Thank you, Margaret, for sending these photos to share with us.
