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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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

Big Nose Kate’s Saloon with a “little white ball” above the stained glass window.

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

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.

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.

full moon orbs photographed by Cheyenne MacMasters

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.

full moon orbs photographed by Cheyenne MacMasters

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.

Night and Day Snow Orbs

Orbs photo by Cheyenne MacMasters

We were on blizzard alert yesterday in Bisbee, Arizona. Schools took the day off and county offices closed early before we went to white out conditions in the afternoon. The early evening brought a bit of clear sky except for an occasional orb floating through.

orbs photo by Cheyenne MacMasters

I especially like the tiny blue orb perched above the wire fence we put up to keep the dog out of cat territory.

orbs photo by Cheyenne MacMasters

Later in the evening the snow returned, much to the interest of the orbs who mingled with the snowflakes. Takes a practiced eye to distinguish orbs from snow. The orbs are more translucent and in my neighborhood are often shaped like tear drops.

We have had more snow this year than in my previous 18 winters in Bisbee.

Some blues and pinks to brighten the night.

After the drama of the blizzard of the night, a few Sun orbs to enjoy.

Full Moon Orbs

Full Moon Orbs Cheyenne MacMasters

The full moon brought me out of the house this evening to quest for orbs. My personal orb, good old tear drop, awaited me on the upper left of my photo as usual.

Full Moon on the right rises over the mountain, orb on the left with a surprising reflection.

Agave orbs Cheyenne MacMasters

When questing for orbs in my neighborhood, I always look to see who is floating above the agave stalks.

Looks like a moon, this orb on a branch.

chinaberry orb Cheyenne MacMasters

Always hopeful, this is a first, an orb among the Chinaberry trees.

The night begins to darken as orbs fly high over Bisbee, Arizona.

Happy Full Moon everyone!

Fire Pit Orbs and Award Nominations!

fire pit orbs C. MacMasters

Orbs gathered last night to enjoy a fire pit with friends.

firepit orbs C. MacMasters

The fun part for me was introducing orbs to the previously unaware.

fire pit orbs C. MacMasters

The moon was quarter full and the stars were especially bright, so it was easy to identify the orbs as they appeared on my camera’s view screen after taking the picture.

firepit orbs C. MacMasters

Of course, those sitting around the fire pit tired of having my camera flash disturbing the peace. So we won’t be looking at them in these photos.

And, soon the orbs moved away to further out in the neighborhood.

Guest Finds “Clouds” while Questing for Orbs

Orb Cloud Kathy Phelps

Kathy Phelps has been a guest orb photographer on Orbs Delight a few times. You may remember her photos of “clouds” that appeared on her view screen after taking a photograph while questing for orbs.  Well, she had another remarkable night. The following photos have been arranged chronologically based on the camera file numbers.Cloud orbs Kathy Phelps

Maybe “remarkable” is too vague a word. How about “astounding!”  You can see in the photo above that orbs did make an appearance.

cloud orbs Kathy Phelps

Easy to imagine a spirit running out of camera’s view on the right, scarf flying in the wind.

cloud orbs Kathy Phelps

Perhaps a parade of spirits sailing over the clothesline in Kathy’s yard, waving a greeting.

cloud orbs Kathy Phelps

Kathy is a lightworker. To help explain what that might mean, she quotes Doreen Virtue: “Lightworkers are those that volunteered, before birth, to help the planet and its population heal from the effects of fear. Each lightworker is here for a sacred purpose…. Many lightworkers are discovering their innate spiritual gifts, such as psychic communication skills and spiritual healing abilities. These are the gifts that we volunteered to use to heal the Earth and her population during the crucial decades surrounding the millennium.”

cloud orbs Kathy Phelps

Kathy says that she does a lot of energy work for the Earth, her inhabitants, and much more. She does sessions every New and Full moons and for both solstice and equinox. What she really means is that she facilitates the session. She channels light language that does what’s needed/requested. Light language is the language of the soul/spirit.

cloud orbs Kathy Phelps

One can see a lot of images within these “clouds” that suggest Beings who are drawn to Kathy’s lightworker activities.

It must be fascinating for Kathy to receive visual confirmation of the energies she has been working with for the past 7-8 years. The age of digital flash photography is truly broadening our visible spectrum. To see more of Kathy’s love of nature, please visit: http://naturesnippets.com/.
