Springfield Local pictures
This picture was taken during a summer storm. The clouds were a strange orange-brown color and a round orb of light seemed to be moving all about the area. In the next picture, I captured the orb in a shot I took of a house on Tipton Street. The orb had not been visable to the naked eye but showed up in the digital photographs. I checked the sky as soon as I noticed the orb in the shot and there was nothing there, no moon and no sun. I do not know what caused the strange orb to show up in the photograph. Perhaps it was just a droplet of water on the lense. In any case, I call it my "UFO." It was, after all, unidentified. The orb showed up in other shots but further back on the horizon, and always in the sky, so it may not be a water droplet after all.

Above: One summer I took to chasing rainbows and taking pictures of them.

Above: "The mysterious Suitcase man.."
The mysterious suitcase man shows up at many of Springfield's functions. Someone is always after him, or his suitcase. We don't know which.

"Black Hole"
Above: This is not Springfield, but I went to two Buttes Lake to take some pictures and at that time, the lake was dry and strange looking, so I went over the damn to the place they call the "black hole" and took this shot.
