Over the weekend I was honored to have a few Mindsay friends, foreverknight and iverness63, sleep over at my place and then take me home to their place in Janesville! Sunday night was especially magical as we took a late night tour of the country. I don't have enough words to describe the experience. I'm still overwhelmed and in a very happy state of mind over it all. I feel like I owe Rebekah and Josh so much for the joy they gave me! We took A TON of photos during our respective visits. So now I have this HUGE catalog of images to mill through, but out of them all, I had to first post the collection I captured that Sunday night in Janesville. I was hoping to capture a spirit orb, and, sure enough, I did in the first photo pictured above. The second image is a close up of the orb. I know Rebekah will be VERY pleased as the photo features one of her favorite trees! Sometimes little blessings from the spirit world show up to wink at us.





The rest of the images are from the same tree, the forest park floor, and branches of oaks that surrounded us. I love to occasionally take photos like this at night because of how mysterious everything looks in the dark -- to have that bright flash go off like a spotlight on the leaves... what else can I say? I'm happy exhausted. You can see that happy exhaustion in our eyes in the last three pictures. Savannah glows and flies like a ghost on a swing. A lovely long-haired willow tree let us cuddle up to it -- making it appear as if it was swallowing us in the last two photos.





Yeah. Go ahead and say it. We're just a bunch of tree huggers having the time of our lives. I know! *flashes big smile*

I'm glad you all had a good time.  I just wish I could have been there to meet you, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. 

Your pictures are lovely.

Hey, there's always next time and many times after that!  So we'll meet soon, I'm sure, especially if you live nearby.
Glad you like the pix.  I have much more to share, so there's a back catalogue, PLUS there's also the photos I usually take around home, too.  Halloween time is coming, usually my favorite time of year, so be assured I plan on going crazy.  I'm thinking of dressing up as Death!  Hoot!

Hey Val...

 

I see THREE orbs in that first pic!

The one to the left and then two more on the right of the tree,

 spaced about equally up from the roots.

Re: Night Walk amongst the Acorns & Velvet Roots
Aww! Love them all! I'm so glad we could visit. Totally much needed. I have to say my fave is(if I had to choose) the one with both of us enjoying the love from the willow.

We do look cute in that one!  It was so much fun.  I wish I had more time today to write!  Yes, definitely more visits should be planned.  I loved capturing the spirit orbs.

I can't wait!

If your Halloween plans fall through, I'll be happy to come and getcha!

Re: Night Walk amongst the Acorns & Velvet Roots
Sure thing!  I've been dreaming up more costume possibilities...  I've been toying with the idea of being Miss Death 2009 or something like that.  I found a hat and am gong to use a long, long, long shroad (shorad?  shroud?  my brain is weird today over spelling that word) of black sheer chiffon to go over it and then hang a bunch of ravens/crows I got from the dollar store!  Oooh, you know photos are in order if I do it.

Re: Night Walk amongst the Acorns & Velvet Roots
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I adore the idea! Yes! Ooo you could trick or treat with us before the party here too! (If you come on over.)

Re: Night Walk amongst the Acorns & Velvet Roots
I'll have to save up money for the trip because I wanna stay more than one day/night and really go exploring during the day!

Re: Night Walk amongst the Acorns & Velvet Roots
Yes! If I get some cash I can always kidnap you and spoil you too.

Re: Night Walk amongst the Acorns & Velvet Roots
Ooooh, too tempting! Yeah, I'm doing my best to save up some pennies. Luckily I just paid off my bills early! Now I gotta convince the payee rep (aka my brother) to let me have extra $$$ from my account to have fun with!

Re: Night Walk amongst the Acorns & Velvet Roots
Good luck with that. Hopefully he'll be feeling extra generous.

I LOVE the photo of you and Rebekah being enveloped by the tree! Such happy, serene expressions you both have there. What a wonderful holiday weekend for all of you.

Re: Night Walk amongst the Acorns & Velvet Roots
That willow tree was awesome.  You had to be there to see how long the branches were, draped right down along the ground.  I like to think the tree had as much fun as we did!

Looks fun and beautiful there!

Most people forget that it's a whole different world sometimes at night and to enjoy it with a friend!

you and your friends know how to enjoy life....

Re: Night Walk amongst the Acorns & Velvet Roots
It really was!  I love how the world looks at night and how the camera sees things so differently.  The flash is a spotlight.  And this was my way of highlighting that night.  We really enjoyed our times exploring the world around us.
