Picture Pages! Picture Pages!

These pictures are just strange. This happened sometime toward the end of April because it was close to the "multiple birthday" (April 22nd--Lela, Kama, Nancy, Don and Earth Day). I remember that because Don was killed in December of 1999 and I was trying to figure out if there was a significance regarding the date this happened.

I had recently finished painting the family room and was taking pictures with my cell phone. I noticed that there was an annoying bright blue thing that was popping up in the lower left hand corner of the photos. I'm still guessing that it was a string or something since it appears in essentially the same spot each time. I'm chalking the orb-like spots up to being reflections from my flash.

However, had it not been for the bright blue light and my irritation, I would never have noticed the "blue mist" that my cell phone was picking up. Once I noticed that and started following it with my camera and catching shots, the bright blue light went away. I kept these photos in the original order, they are completely untouched, and I took photos in other spots to show the difference and to show that it wasn't my camera.

I first noticed the mist by the closet and then it moved to the right hand side of my sofa and finally to the middle of the sofa. The whole experience played out over about half an hour's span of time. Perhaps this is nothing big. But there is also the factor that a water globe in the game room began playing extremely slowly, by itself, as I was photographing the mist. It's a Beatles Yellow Submarine wind-up globe (so it can't be blamed on batteries and it hasn't been wound since long before I moved here) and it played so slowly that it would play a fraction of a note, pause for 20-30 seconds and then play another fraction.

Maybe you can explain everything; but I can't. I would chalk it up to crappy cell phone pictures and any number of things, had it not been for the globe playing at the same time~which would have been slightly weird even without these visuals occurring. I always have logical explanations for everything~but this one baffles me. I'd love to hear a good theory that makes sense...
