Orb or not Orb?

OK - I don't believe in the orb thing. But some do. For them, here's one I nabbed during an off-camera flash test early in the game of photographing goblins this Halloween. As photographed except 1) cropped very slightly (2) small frame added (3) black border added to that and (4) saved at a higher compression. Make of it what you will.

The EXIF data FWIW:

The water's up ...

East Fork of the Little Miami River, near Williamsburg, Ohio. November 2, 2013. That front that passed thru 2 days ago muddied things up considerably, as well as blowing off many of the autumn leaves. Paraphrasing a friend "No two days are ever the same along a river." That's a large part of the magic!
