First I must admit I'm not usually very impressed with orb photos, and I get ones that are clearly raindrops or bugs or smudges on the lens all the time without paying any attention, but these just look so strange I can't help but think there is something to them!
They were snapped during a walk with my dog and my friend Naomi the other evening. These were taken just outside Lindholmen, Sweden. The weather was a bit funny with massive thunderclouds moving very quickly across the sky, but no actual thunder or lightening. Naomi and I have both been reading and talking a lot about faeries lately, and have done little things to try to show them our interest and willingness to communicate.
Okay, here is the first one. It was taken in a little meadow surrounded by woodland. I know the orb isn't something on the lens because I took several shots right after eachother and it only appeared on this one.

This second one I find more interesting, partly because there are several orbs, and partly because of where it was taken. You can't tell very well from the photo because the flash made it a bit wonky, but behind the trees is a pile of large mossy rocks. Naomi and I have both thought they felt very special and kind of fae-like when we have walked past them before, and when this was taken she had a funny feeling about the place but didn't say anything to me, and I felt kind of urged to take the picture for no apparent reason. If you look at the first close up you can see something blurry in the back, behind the trees. Not sure if that's an orb or just a branch or a rock or something though. :)

Also, that night as I was falling asleep I heard a voice in my left ear saying one word that I sadly couldn't make out. I think it was a male voice, and it did not frighten me at all, but was still clear enough to jolt me out of my semi-sleep!
Anyway, yeah! Just thought I'd share! :)

The Second photo you took looked like the orbs could be a fairy. I saw a white fairy shape light in the middle of the big purple orb.

The blue one in the first photo you can kindof make out a figure that's doing the infamous faery stance dubbed the "tinkerbell stance". I thought that was very cool.

Wow! Those are pretty interesting. The only thing they might be besides real orbs could possibly be bugs. But they are very large but if they are bugs they can be close to the camera. BUT with the experiences and feelings that you had, I am leaning toward it being faeries. I'm sorry if I can be over analyzing but when I see photos and videos the paranormal investigator in me tends to kick in. By the way, I looked at some of the pictures on your website Liselotte. They are really beautiful!

Thanks for the input, you guys! Turns out it's most likely stray drops of rain though after all, or else there just happened to be a million faeries around a few days later when I took some photos on a rainy day… ;)
A bit disappointing, and a bit baffling too! It's such a weird way for rain to behave and I have never seen it before until now! Looks to me like the drops are going upward and not falling down but I guess that's just some weird camera thing.
WitchyWoman28: Thank you! :) (Also I'm quite over-analytic myself when it comes to these things, so I appreciate it, hehe!)

Don't debunk them just yet. Sometimes the fae will appear but because they don't want to be recognised at times they will make it seem there's another reason. This woman in a book I read about faeries said she saw an unseelie elf at the foot of her sons bed for a split second but when she investigated it she found a pile of blankets instead. That would make you either think 'trick of the light, it's night I'm tired, just mistook the blankets as something else.' But the woman was so sure it was real because at the same time she saw it her 5 year old son was complaining about a 'strange man' at the foot of his bed that made him scared. So go with the evidence and your gut because maybe those fae didn't want to be found.

I'll have to remember the rain thing if I ever do a paranormal investigation. It is quite interesting that the raindrops caused it.

Not all faeries and elves that are dark are Unseelie, some of them are just dark. Several of my faeries are particularly dark, and one has sat at the foot of my bed since I was a small girl, and many of them are Seelie. Every psychic person that I have ever met or spoken to has seen them, and they all say that they're supposed to be there to protect me. Sometimes children have guardians that stand at the foot of their beds or in their rooms and watch them to make sure that dark and darker things don't harm them in their sleep. However, usually humans that see dark things at the foot of their beds normally and almost immediately assume that it's something wicked or evil that intends to do you harm, which isn't always true.
However, waking up as a child and seeing ANYONE at the foot of your bed would be cause for alarm, Seelie or Unseelie. I can't say that what this woman saw was false or a lie, because I didn't read the book and I can't tell you if the energy was negative or not, all I can say is that in my experience dark things aren't always evil, sometimes they're just… dark.

Flash aside, that place looks incredibly beautiful. My first thought just looking at the vividness (which flash usually kills, by the way) of the second photo was "Oh, there is magic there." And I swear that in the first close-up of the second photo, there is a pale figure within that orb. Also, there's motion blur on all of the orbs, so whatever they were, they were moving. And, given that flash generally ensures a faster shutter speed, they had to have been moving fairly quickly. I suppose they could be bugs, but just looking at the beauty of that place, I think not. :)
