Then again it could be a really small, circular ghost. Or part of one. Or there's a portal in my driveway that I never noticed before, and if I'm not careful, me and my Honda are likely to slip through into the land of fae, where cruel and whimsical nature spirits in the service of the White Queen will have their way with me. And my car.

So, you don't have a clue what it is?

I read some years ago about people finding "orbs" in their photographs. Here's one link that popped up from a quick search: http://www.orbwhisperer.com/

Thanks, YesNo. That seems a really roundabout way of doing it. I notice that most of the pictures come from Flickr. I shall experiment some with the edit pad.

<facepalm> Orbs... Orbs, he says... You've taken me back to my Coast 2 Coast AM days, especially when they were having a slow night--fresh outta ufo abductees and such--and the only guest they could find was someone talking about orbs or ghost stories overheard while sitting in a bar or something. ;-) I do think I remember guests talking it on the show, thanks. As for me, I've only got two orbs, and I'm pretty sure you know where they are. :-0

Here is what can only be described as firewood, when it was freshly stacked in my garage late last year.

Here's the orb up close. I was going to touch it up a little to make it more interesting, but I don't know how to do that. I had enough trouble cropping it.

If you look close you can see the alien's four eyes.

For someone who lives in the middle of nowhere, this looks rather civilized.

Yes, you can. Now I was also thinking they look like suction cups, suckers, like a bug has for crawling up walls. Or maybe three suckers and a penis. I'll go out there tomorrow and look.

Oh, yeah, it's one of the things I love about this place, it has all the modern amenities and yet is located where other humans ain't.

Congratulations on your new phone. I considered taking a picture of my phone but then I realized I needed the phone to take the picture. Then I figured I could use a mirror.

These are the dilemmas that try men's souls. Now, those of you wot have read Tolkien will be familiar with the White Tree of Gondor, wot stood in the Court of the Fountain in Minas Tirith. Well, when I moved into this house, I looked out and saw that lo, I have a White Tree of Gondor standing out front.

P.S. that's taken with the new S7 and I do see what people have been saying about the camera, the light and shading really stand out.

Birch trees are one of my all-time favourite kinds of tree.

This next I took in Stockholm a few years ago when I went there, taken with whichever phone I had at the time, probably a Galaxy S3.

Very nice. Here are some logs I peeled the summer before last.
