Okay, here's the deal...
You know me, I'm a realist... things are what they are, unless they're not and when they're not, that's where my flights of fancy take over.

I recently read a comment by a ghost hunter which said that every time an 'amateur photographer' displays a photo and calls it a ghost or spirit, that it 'sets their(gh) research back'...

This instantly tripped my 'defense trigger' in my brain. Who is the gh referring too as an amateur photographer?

I ask you, my fellow readers, how long have you been taking pictures...you may not be a professional, but you 'dern sure ain't no' amateur.
And really, why would a credible gh give a 'hoot in hell' what photo an 'average person' displays on their web site or anywhere and titles it a spirit or ghost and believes that they caught a glimpse of a spirit???...

I say, this is sooo wrong of an attitude for a gh to have.
You know, this attitude would be equivalent too,
if I had a miracle in my life and stood up and proclaimed it loudly...
and the Vatican getting mad because they didn't confirm it... even though I'm not Catholic...
Or, what if a person cured a headache with a nap and posted about it online...and the medical profession get mad because they didn't have anything to do with it.

Ridiculous!!! Right???

You see... my mind reels at deliberate stupidity and snobbery...

So, in my bit of fury, I went surfing through years of photos to find a good picture of a 'nature spirit' that I absolutely knew what was the cause and effect of lights, shadow, woodland, you know.

I was looking for a face or smile on a tree. (Because pictures of tree spirits evidently was apparently the focal point of the gh's pretentious statement)
I had every intention of posting the picture on my web site and titling it Tree Spirit...meta tags and all...and put in a long rambling article of the snobbery in the 'gh world'.

Anyway, after an hour or so, I came across this picture... It gave me instant 'cause for pause'.
I studied on it and the three others like it but blurred... I honestly can't figure out how I missed it all these months. I am constantly surfing through my pictures... mmm

Okay, so I looked at it a while and a curious feeling came over me. A feeling, that in truth, I couldn't post this picture with a lot of rambling gh gripes on my web site, it would be wrong... To do that would be 'to dignify' the gh's 'insult' with a 'reward' for an answer.

So, here's the picture. I am going to post a larger size on my web site as soon as get time. I also 'AM NOT' going to post on it's page about my anger about the gh's snooty logic. The image will stand as it is a curious cool looking enigma for 'searching eyes' to ponder it's meaning.

I just wanted to share my rambling bit of furried nonsense with you. I will let ya know when I get it posted on my site so you can scrutinize it better as a larger size.
