SPIRIT ORBS? ... or dust particles?

I've been taking photos with my Nikon CoolPix camera for a couple of years now.  I love it, but there's something that keeps happening and I'm really not sure how to explain it.  Every now and then I capture an orb in my photo.  Here's the first one I caught back in Michigan while visiting with relatives a few years ago.



The photo below captures two small orbs on the pants of my artist friend (Rick Moore) during the 2010 Art Classic in Santa Clarita. He won first prize for one of his paintings and I took a photo of him next to his painting in-doors 



And here is another photo of him (close up) outside an hour or so after I took the first photo. Two more orbs appear! - in two photos - in two different locations.  I might add here that I took about 150 photos that day and these orbs showed up only twice... on the pants of the same person!!



Recently, I went to see a band called "The Graves" perform at a club in the valley.  They were excellent - enjoyed the show very much and I took a few photos of them.  Once again, an orb appeared on the shirt of the keyboardist - right under his arm. This time, nearly opaque.


And, most recently I went to a memorial celebration for my good friend Tim Alexander - an AMAZING guitarist who will be greatly missed.  During a speech made by his best friend, Stove, I took a photo of the crowd (see photo below) and caught an orb hovering above.


And, during a musical performace a few hours later I captured a smaller orb over his friend and guitar student as he was performing.  Particles of dust? Or perhaps the spirit of my friend Tim - joining us on his special day of remembrance!


There are no answers or explanations offered in this blog, just some food for thought. There will be more photos and more orbs captured by my camera in the future, I am sure of that.  And, as I find them I'll continue to document them.

In the mean time if you'd like to learn more, just google 'spirit orbs' on-line. You'll find all kinds of photos and interesting content.  I even discovered a woman (Kathy) who's dedicated a whole website to it. To see her photos click on:  http://spiritorbs.home.mindspring.com/
