Elaine and I met some months ago and since then have had a fascinating running dialog about our experiences with spirit. She has become a very good friend of mine and is kindly allowing me to share her spirit photographs on this forum.

In March I shared my interpretations of one of her photos in this post.

Like most spirit photographers, she captures unique glimpses of phenomenon. She often captures mist or ectoplasm, something I have yet to photograph.

Lovely dog I have to say Elaine It is great you are allowing Alisa to exhibit your photos for us all to see.

Interesting photos also, with the ectoplasm and the orbs in both shots.

I also have found I do not photograph ectoplasm Alisa, and infrequently I find orbs on my photographs.
I have noted before, that quite often orbs will be around animals.

Within the ecto on this shot, I see nature spirits shapes.

I look forward to seeing more of your photos

Honestly, Nothing surprises me that shows up on pictures taken outside. The outside is a virtual ocean of activity of the natural world and the supernatural world swirling together... maybe that's why the wind blows...

Very nice pictures to ponder over the possibilities...

Thanks for the comments, Chris and Dawn.

I am choosing samples from quite a few photos. The following are two photos taken in succession.

I am already loving this little puppy!

The purple orb is interesting and very strongly coloured.
The spirit activity appears to be centred on this little one.

Initially, I was seeing the face of a man in the orb, then on closer scrutinity(as usual) discovered that there are many 'littlies' in and around the orb and on the puppy itself.

There is another larger, but much fainter orb in the car, containing much the same.

Is there anything unusual or specific about this puppy?

Does Elaine see/feel anything at all in regards to this spirit activity around the dogs?

I was going to answer for Elaine (until she is able to join in the discussion), but I'll ask her and relay the answer to be sure I get it right.

I knew you'd see so many things in this and I was looking forward to your analysis, Chris. Thanks.

More to come...

I love these puppy-dogs too. They seem so vibrant and full of mischief.

I agree with Chris,

I see the many wee faces and I see other things around too.
The larger pup seems to have a light haze about him and he also seems to have the image of a face of a nature folk on the white fur of his chest just off to the left there. Isn't he the pupster that had lots of nature folks around and in his fur in an earlier thread?

I think maybe that these pupsters have guardian spirits or angels to help them in their life of service to man. I think Chris said something to that effect once a long time ago in a dog/orb thread... but I'm not sure of her exact words...

Tell Elaine that her puppy-dogs are adorable and I appreciate her allowing you (Alisa) to share these special and curious pictures with us.

Thanks for the great feedback on Elaine's photos, Chris and Dawn. Your ideas, theories and visions have really added to my own. Elaine also thanks you for your input and provides more background:

My story about orbs, ecto and spirit photos goes like this... I decided that I wanted a hybrid wolf as a companion, so I looked in the paper and saw a litter of them was for sale in a nearby town. I sat down near the fenced kennel where the pups were penned. The owner let the pups out and they started running around playing. None of them came near me, except one. He ran up to me and licked my hand. I instantly said, I will take that one. He chose me. So that became the beginning of my story of 14 years with a wonderful, spiritual best friend. I named him Dakota.

I took him up in the mountain roads to run every day because of his boundless energy. He was so beautiful, I decided to take photos of him and use them in my oil paintings. I bought a Minolta 35 millimeter camera, and started taking pictures. I noticed the round things in the photos, but I thought they were flaws in the film. One day at work, the rain came into a window I had forgotten to close and drowned the camera. So, there was no more pictures for a while. I then got a Pentax for Christmas. And the round things were there in that camera also. I just wondered about them, but didn't say or do anything.

Years passed, and I could sense that there was something different about about Dakota, that I had never experienced with many other dogs I had owned. He looked straight into my eyes and I could sometimes feel what he was thinking. Sometimes I was frustrated, because I knew he was trying to communicate something to me and I couldn't understand.

When he was 10 years old, I bought a computer and a digital camera. Wow! When I took photos of him and put them up on the screen there were so many orbs. I couldn't ignore them any more. I just sat down at my kitchen table and prayed and meditated, What are those things? "ORBS," came into my thoughts. "Look in the Internet." So, I did, and there to my surprise, other people were also photographing them . Then I decided to talk to the orbs and acknowledge their presence. I then started seeing ecto and mists in the photos. For the next 4 years I did little tests to prove to myself that there was intelligence and curiosity in the orbs. The ecto seemed to like to go on walks, the orbs liked animals. I traveled way up in the mountains and found orbs there also.

Dakota became ill and the activity of orbs and ecto became tremendous. It was all over everywhere, in every photo. In December 2006, my wonderful best friend crossed over in a very cold deep snow storm. I was pleased for him because he loved the snow so much. His last days here he spent laying in the snow as much as I would allow him to. I took many photos. In his lifetime, the only thing that Dakota showed any great respect to in the animal world was bears. He rubbed only their scent on his fur, nothing else, like most dogs do. He showed no fear or respect to any other animal, he was alpha wolf. When he was too ill to be inside the cabin any longer, he lived in the canopy of my truck. I fixed it really nice for him. One day, a friend gave me a bear hide, because he had no more room in his freezer because he had killed a deer and needed the space. So, I put the bear hide in the truck with Dakota. He instantly claimed it by covering it with some hay and laying down on top of it. He was so pleased, I think he actually felt better having the hide with him.

I was giving him a lot of medications from the vet, which he didn't like at all, but he let me do it. The tests and meds went on for a year. Then one day, he put his paw on my leg, looked deep into my eyes, and said,"Please let me go." So, with a broken heart and tears that have never stopped, I said, "ok," and I stopped the medications. Right after he passed, I took some photos and in one was an orb with Dakota's head and the head of a bear in it.

I was so sad and upset, friends suggested I get a puppy to help me survive the pain of losing him. So I looked on the internet and found a website that sold hybrids. After a while I decided to get one of their pups and I paid a down payment on it before it was born. I was working at a horse stable at this time, and a horse trainer came to give a clinic bringing Blue Healer pups with him. I thought they were so cute, but I already had a down payment on the wolf pup, so I said no to myself, No! I had a favorite Blue Healer pup though, and every day, as pups were sold, I was hurt that he might go. On Friday, I had two days off, and the trainer was to be gone on Monday, so I thought good, I won't be tempted any more. Well, I got to work on Monday and there was the little blue puppy, all the rest had sold. The trainer had stayed an extra day

All day, the puppy followed me around, and when I squatted down to watch my daughter brush her horse, he came and sat between my legs and kissed my chin. He just sat there cuddling with me for a long time. My daughter said, Mom he wants to go home with you, but I told her I already had a puppy coming and she said, you have had two dogs before! So, I brought him home. When the wolf pups arrived, I ask for a male, and the lady sent me photos. She said, I have named this one Key'rush, which means 'Little Bear' in Inuit Eskimo language. Wow! What a sign! So I said, I will take him. So in March of this year, Buddy the blue puppy and I went to Apple Valley California and picked up Little Bear. The first photos I took when we got home had ecto in it that looks like a large dog playing with the puppies. And the next photos were the purple orbs in the back of the truck. I now have more orbs and ecto showing up all around the puppies. I am excited to find out what is in store for us on our journey. (I have had ducks, which I gave away, because bobcats were killing them, but the ecto and orbs really liked being around them too).

Here is the photo of Bear and Buddy playing mentioned above:







And more cute photos that to my eye are filled with nature spirits:

Elaine,
You have a heartwarming story. I believe you must be one of the chosen individuals that have animals as kindred spirits and they've reached out to you.

You've been blessed by your canine companions and I know they are blessed to be with you too.

Thanks, Dawn.

Here are a few photos Elaine took in November 2006, whilst Dakota was very ill and during a time she was capturing even more spirit than usual. These are the full photos downsized.




The bright light on the fence was not visible at the time Elaine took this photo.



An iridescent image appears in the upper left corner.



The mist in this photo and the one above is felt to be the same material
as the ecto/mist that shows up in her other photos (as opposed to steam in the cold).

Being a great admirer and lover of wolves, I can understand Elaine's great enthusiasm for this animal. A much maligned and beautiful creature is coming back into our forest regions again.

I just love your dogs! they are so lovely and you have captured the fun and youthfulness of them playing together.
Buddy has quite distinctive eyes, being of different colours and Bear is just so adorable, being the little one.

They appear to be surrounded continually by nature spirits and yes I see what appears to be a bigger spirit dog/wolf head over Bear's head.

One more question are all these photographs taken with flash on?
I notice that orbs and ecto are much more readily noticeable when a flash is used.

(From Elaine)

Hi Chriss, thank you for your response. Buddy and Bear are my little children right now, they are so delightful. I am always laughing at them. Buddy grins and Bear howls at me.

Yes, I think the purple orb in the truck was Dakota's head. He had a very large head, and that really looks like he did. Sometimes I use a flash, sometimes I don't. It depends how dark the area is where I am taking the photo. The camera decides that.

The sun was very bright in the photo of the back of my truck, so the flash wasn't on. Also, with the two photos of the ecto in the pasture the flash wasn't on. I think the flash reflects off of the orb and they do show up better. I have taken some photos where the orb actually shined its light back on another object, kind of like a reflection. Thank you, Elaine

Here are a few more photos from Elaine:









Elaine says the photo of the picnic table was an experiment she did with a light toy. "I turned the toy on and set it on the table. It spins around fast with red, blue, yellow and green colors. It sat there for a few minutes, then this orb came and it seems to be pulling the light right up and towards itself out of the toy."

The other two photos are of Dakota and the orbs and ectos that usually appear in his photos. Personally I think there is a lot to see in the mist/ecto. The large red orbs are very interesting as well.

Through the medium of Alisa to Elaine I say "your welcome" .

Your photos have more interesting features to them. Lots of nature folk in the ecto and surrounding your dog. I am even tempted to think that there is a dog/wolf spirit around Dakota too.I see images in the orbs, but cannot quite make them out.

The 'toy' was an interesting experiment and it does look as if the orb is sucking the kinetic energy of the spin up into itself. Everything needs energy to function.

Thanks for the great comments, Chris.

I remain intrigued and amazed by the spinning toy photo. It makes me want to try a similar experiment! I probably shall. Wish it wasn't 5 degrees C outside of late.

I agree Alisa. It's ever so tempting...

Thanks Elaine for sharing your fascinating photos.

Thanks for the comments, Dawn! I'll keep my eyes open for a top with lights. If you have one, give it a try and let me know how it goes!

Some orb photographers have commented that orbs seem curious. When I first started capturing them, I noticed that if there was something left out on the lawn (once it was an empty soda bottle), I got the impression that orbs were checking it out. At the time for some reason I dismissed it, though it happened time and again with anything new being left out at night and in the field of my photograph.

Though I still have more photos of Elaine's yet to post, she sent me a few new photos the other day and I thought I would post one of these that has the red orb showing up again (like it did with her late dog Dakota). Elaine's dog Bear is no longer a little puppy now, as can be seen here!

Adjusted colour levels reveal the orb is brighter

In the general thinking of meanings on colors and things, what do you suppose the red color means?

Elaine's puppy-dogs must have a direct connect with the spirits of the wild.

I reiterate...you ask excellent questions and I thank you so much for participating in these topics, Dawn.

Red is prevalent in spirit photos. Like the photos of my son upon birth and my toddler niece. The red spirit of a young woman who showed up for her graduation. Or in the photo of the spoon-bender man in the midst of psychokinesis.





But as to what red means, I have often wondered because I so love the colour red. I am sure there are many interpretations. Interestingly I have lately received several spirit lessons on colour. These lessons occur during the night for me when an advanced spirit teaches me truths about reality and I am able to ask questions (very cool stuff).

For me, I have learned that red is spiritually representative of the physical path of life, whereas blue is representative of the purely spiritual path. But I best start a new topic on this for further explanation. Meanwhile, perhaps a soul/spirit whether on its own or surrounding the body, shows up as red on the physical plane such as in photos.

More photos from Elaine taken outside at night. I think this is a wonderful idea... photographing bubbles and orbs!





More of the large red orbs that show up for Elaine. I've adjusted the colour levels below
revealing that there are not only two red orbs in the upper right, but one in the lower left corner.



More photos...



Original above, adjusted colour levels below.

I wanted to add that Elaine had told me that the orb she calls "big red" first showed up when she set a warm bowl of water out on her picnic table. She took some photos and big red showed up. She said big red took a look, sat over the bowl for a few seconds, and then left. The next time she saw big red was with her dog Dakota, and then with her newest dog Bear, and now with the bubbles!



Oh, and synchronistically, over the weekend before Elaine gave me her bubble photos, I cleaned above the refrigerator and found a stash of bubble bottles. My son saw them and wanted to blow bubbles, so we did. Subsequently I had a dream-like experience in the night with a large bubble-like entity.

When sharing this synchronicity story with Elaine, she said she had actually found her bottle of bubbles at the back of a drawer where they had been sitting unused for several years and seeing them triggered her to think, "I'll see if orbs like bubbles!" Hence the photos.

I like this post about bubbles and orbs. I am a bubble lover also and possess my own bubbles! I discovered the 'little people' love this activity, so I am not surprised Elaine got orbs checking out her bubble blowing session.

Thanks for sharing your affection for bubbles, too, Chris!

Another photo from Elaine taken of her dog Buddy. As usual I saw many, many spirit faces but I was especially drawn to the image of a dog in the water.

Undoubtedly you will see other images to mine. What do you see?

These are some amazing photos Elaine captured in June 2007 of her dogs Buddy and Bear. They have many of the distinctions I've come to consider as strong interdimensional captures (such as blurring and overlapping positions).



Downsized Original


Cropped

In the photo above, Buddy is standing still, so the blurring is not mistaken for movement. It appears to me as if a wolf-like dog is intersecting at a 40 degree angle to Buddy at the face. I also see another dog face in his hindquarter. I believe Buddy is comprised of multiple dog spirits (which is my theory based on my study of spirit photographs) and an explanation to myself as to why I often see multiple faces in and around the subject being photographed. Pastlives, if you will. And so not always the same breed or species even.

Thanks, Elaine!

Those are some amazing photos!

Hi there ! Thank you ! I was having a great time taking photos. Elaine

Amongst many of the photos Elaine has shared with me is a beautiful photo of her quaint mountain home. I was struck by the friendly face that popped out to me in the surrounding trees.




Eyes tinted yellow and nose tinted pink



Tree faces can be rather fierce, so I think it is nice when a sweet one like this can be pointed out.
