Life's Magical Moments...................................

BEFORE I KNEW WHAT "ORBS ,"  WERE...I DIDN'T SEE THEM.    (reminds me of a wonderful quote, "The Eyes are Blind, to what the Mind can not See."....check out sub page  orb PHOTOS under MUSINGS in this section)

"A synchronisitic walk in the woods"  One foggy Spring morning I grabbed my camera to capture the deliciously mysterious misty mood in our backyard.  But much to my dismay the pictures were all spotty and I was certain that my camera had been damaged somehow . ( favorite camera...very upset)

So, I began walking back to the house, when suddenly, I heard a cardinal singing from a nearby branch.  I decided to try taking his picture.  And because I didn't want to startle him, I checked to make sure my flash was off.  And what do you know????
 

      The subsequent picture captured the magical mood ....no spots!!!   It felt as though  the  cardinal sensed my plight,,,sang ever so prettily to catch my attention ... and solved the camera mystery. ......"Do not use a flash on a foggy foggy day," ...unless of course, you like the other worldly effect.

And so with flash off, I set out once again .....this time successfully capturing one of my favorite moods.  That dear red cardinal saved the day!!!!!!!!! And unknowingly, the energy of orbs had been revealed to me.  (find out below)

    What I discovered not long after....(check out ..digitally altered photographs of SERPENT MOUND, under digitally altered picture category above.)  Is that on that very deliciously mysterious misty foggy day, I had captured my very FIRST  photographs of ORBS.   I just didn't know it.  It wasn't until a friend of mine spotted a small orb in a photo from Serpent Mound  that I even learned of their existence.  And back then, I was quite skeptical of such things.  But..........now, I  capture photos of ORBS  all the time.  It is comforting to me, to know such magical glowing benevolent energies surround me and those I love.  Check out some of my ORB photos in the sub text of MUSINGs.  enjoy!!!          Heartsmiles, Ardis
