As I was out walking the streets of Tombstone, I spied this man coming walking toward me. He asked what I was doing and thought I might be finding a ghost if I kept taking his photo. Then he turned to me and said, “You hoping to find those little white balls in your pictures?” Am I wearing a sticker on my forehead that says “orbphotog” ?! Then he advised me that I would have better luck down the street “at the corner”.
Perhaps I did see a ghost as he walked away. The “little white balls” followed him hopefully.
Down the street at the corner is the Bird Cage Theatre, a must see on any tour of Tombstone. And, he was right about the “little white balls”.
Here’s a look at Tombstone from the end of the street.
Perhaps the “little white balls” just enjoy corners.
They certainly seem to enjoy saloons.
Big Nose Kate’s Saloon with a “little white ball” above the stained glass window.
The sky above Tombstone comes alive with orbs of “little white balls” as the evening darkens.
Looks like a lovely place to spend the night.

I’ll be returning to Tombstone tomorrow for the annual Tombstone Rose Festival. Here is a peep at the newly crowned Rose Queen standing beneath the world’s largest rose bush this evening with her family:
The orbs agree!
For those of you who are new to this blog, or would like to refresh your memory as to what orbs are, perhaps this will help: https://orbsdelight.wordpress.com/2012/11/17/photographing-orbs/

There’s something about the man in the first two photos…. Did you actually touch him to see if he had a physical body? 🙂 I love all the “little white balls” in the photos. Awesome.

Thanks for your enjoyment, Susan. Unless the man just comes out at night, I’ll be looking for him today when I return to Tombstone. We stood about a foot apart and as he walked away my husband wondered if he might be a ghost.

Haha. I completely agree with Susan because I was about to ask the same question. Good one, Cheyenne.

Good to hear from you, Uzoma. Perhaps I can bring back a portrait of the ghostly man when I return to Tombstone today. He’s got a piercing glance in his hollowed out face.

Thanks, I’m usually home from Tombstone by dark. Will have to stop in more often when I’m passing in the night.

Fantastic pictures! That old cowboy was not “anyone”, my friend…., he did recognize you. Looks like the guy looking at the Big Nose kate’s window was looking right at the orb, and not at the glass window. Or perhaps the orb was looking at him? Wow, what a place, Tombstone!

Thank you, Jacquie. I had just taken the photo of the man who seems to be looking at the orb when the old man approached and asked if I was looking for “little white balls”. He certainly had my number, as we like to say here. I am always pleasantly surprised by the friendliness of the townspeople.
