You Cannot See Them

orbs (c) Cheyenne MacMasters 2013

You cannot see them

ladies walking home at night

wrapped in towels

dampening sarongs

orbs (c) Cheyenne MacMasters 2013

You hear their laughter

and sleepy murmurs

spirits follow

listening closely

orbs (c) Cheyenne MacMasters 2013

You cannot see them

ladies with attentive spirits

walking gliding

through the night

orbs (c) Cheyenne MacMasters 2013
Freshly bathed

thoughts of comforts

home draws them onward

ladies walking above

orbs (c) Cheyenne MacMasters 2013

You did not see them

Nor saw the spirits

that shadowed

wet ladies

walking home tonight.

Orbs of Truth

orb photo copyright Cheyenne MacMasters 2013

Not again,

a stranger’s eyes

regard me in a mirror

that lies.

Once again,

I inhabit a body

not mine.

We are all one.

What tripe!

We don’t know that Truth

until the body is not ours

until now.

Not now!

My body, my life.

This body, another’s life.

I do remember

my life, my body.

But that was then,

this is now.

Guest Orbs of Flam Chen

FlamChen Orbs by Maureen Watson

Our guest orb photographer is Maureen Watson. She discovered orbs in her photos during a New Year’s Eve celebration when Flam Chen circus performers came to Bisbee, Arizona.

FlamChen Orbs by Maureen Watson

I could hear the crowds and see the tops of the balloons from my house on the hill that night, but I had no idea that orbs were also enjoying the entertainment until Maureen shared her photos with me. Flam Chen is based in Tucson, Arizona and has been performing circus and fire acts since 1994. They are now accepting applications to their summer art camp.

FlamChen Orbs by Maureen Watson

If you follow the little bright white lights from the sky into the crowd it does look like orbs are among the revelers.

Note to self: next time the circus comes to town get out of the house and go see the show…

Thank you, Maureen, for sharing some of that evening’s excitement with us.

Guest Orbs of Ecuador

Chuck Feil photographer

Chuck Feil is our guest orb photographer, presenting the orbs he found at a dance in Vilcabamba, Ecuador.

Proof once again that orbs just like to have a good time. I wonder if they also add to the frivolity, the vibes, of the evening.

Chuck Feil orbs of Ecuador

Isn’t this just what you think is happening at a party? Now we know what all the disco light shows are based upon: the  subliminal knowledge of being surrounded by orbs.

Thank you, Chuck, for sharing your orbs galore with us!

Orbs On the Other Side of Town

Margo looks for orbs

One of my orb enthusiasts asked me to go on a quest for orbs tonight. Margo didn’t think she was having much luck on her own and wasn’t sure that any lived in her neighborhood.  Here she is  looking for that orb who is looking at her.

Orbs2

When I don’t seem to be having any luck finding orbs among the trees, I can usually find them in one of their favorite hangouts: the power lines.

house orbs

Margo now realizes there are plenty of orbs in her neighborhood.

Loma Linda Orbs

The Loma Linda is considered Bisbee’s one true mansion.

Ocotillas look like sticks until they leaf out in summer rains.

agave orbs

These century plant stalks have the regalness of pine trees.

playground orbs

Of course orbs would be attracted to the joys of the children’s playground.

Remember, orbs can be found among the power lines.

Bisbee’s Got Talent and Orbs

Wiskey Girl and Nowhere Man

Backstage at the annual Bisbee’s Got Talent fundraising show for our homeless shelter. Derrick Ross of Nowhere Man and Whiskey Girl rehearses to an appreciative audience of orbs.

Bisbee Chorus

Members of the Bisbee Community Chorus are unaware of the attention they are attracting from the orb above.

BisbeesGotTalent3

Orbs danced along with Linda Herrera singing and playing a lovely percussion rhythm with clapping and pounding a cup.

High Desert Gypsies

Once the High Desert Gypsies began their tribal dancing, my camera lost interest in orbs and just focused on the color and light of their exquisite moves..

The winner of the Judge’s Vote for Bisbee’s Got Talent was Renee Harper:

Orbs of Tombstone

TombstoneOrb2

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”.

TombstoneOrb3

Perhaps I did see a ghost as he walked away. The “little white balls” followed him hopefully.

TombstoneOrb4

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”.

Tombstone

Here’s a look at Tombstone from the end of the street.

TombstoneOrb5

Perhaps the “little white balls” just enjoy corners.

TombstoneOrb6

They certainly seem to enjoy saloons.

TombstoneOrb1

TombstoneOrb7

The sky above Tombstone comes alive with orbs of “little white balls” as the evening darkens.

TombstoneOrb8

Looks like a lovely place to spend the night.

Since 1880 The Tombstone Epitaph newspaper, which covered Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday and the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. You can still subscribe to it at www.tombstoneepitaph.com

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!

Silent Orbs in the Night

blizzard Orbs photo by Cheyenne MacMasters

I found this photo after posting the series of blizzard orbs a couple of posts ago. It is such a pretty scene, that I want to share it with you even though it is not snowing tonight.

Below are the orbs which are sailing overhead this evening:

It is after midnight in the sleeping town of Bisbee, Arizona. Little do the residents realize who is gliding silently through the night.

For those of us not particularly gifted at seeing emanations of spiritual beings, a camera’s flash will bring them to light.

rooftop orbs photo by Cheyenne MacMasters

Have you checked out your roof top lately to see who is flying overhead?

Orbs Gather for Full Moon

PinkOrb photo by Cheyenne MacMasters

The full moon often draws us into the night to photograph the sky. I found this lovely pink orb while out with the moon a couple of nights ago.

 The moon is the bright light cradled in the trees. I thought you might enjoy the movement of the orb across from the moon, and the way the pinkish orb is perched on the tree in the center.

Last night the moon was slower to rise, but the orbs were waiting patiently.

In fact, I want you to realize just how dense our sky can be with flying orbs.

I’m experimenting with different densities of brightness and contrast to reveal the orbs.

full moon orbs photographed by Cheyenne MacMasters

Practically a blizzard of orbs grace our skies.

Inspired by the moon, an orb outshines the crowd.

I encourage you all to seek the orbs outside your doors in the night. It’s just a pretty sight to discover who floats through your neighborhood.
