Story of the day:

I was taking the dog out.. nearly left my camera behind… but grabbed it last minute.

As soon as I step outside, a flock of crows flew past and two of them landed in the tree top just in front of me. You know me… so I began snapping pics and when they flew away I walked the dog around the yard.

I headed over to the tree from yesterday’s ghostly adventure but the sun was already down and I snapped photos anyway but nothing… as I turn to walk away from the tree I noticed a black feather… woohoooo lookie.. this is for me! As I walked around I found loads just in front of that tree.. no where else …. just there in front of that crazy tree!

I just counted the feathers … 11 of them!

See below for information about the crow and the number 11.

The Crow:

Crows are the keepers of the Sacred Law and to have a Crow totem is very powerful.

Personal Integrity are your watchwords and your guide in Life. If you have a Crow totem, your prime path  is to be mindful of your opinions and actions. You must be willing to walk your talk, to speak your truth and to know your life’s mission.

Crow is a omen of Change.   Crow lives in the void and has no sense of time, therefore, it sees past, present and future simultaneously. Crow merges both light and dark, both inner and outer. It is the totem of the Great Spirit and must be respected as such.

They are symbols of creation and spiritual strength. Look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life. Crows are messengers calling to us  about the creation and magic that is alive in the world today and available to us.

Number 11:

Number 11 symbolizes the principles of spiritual awakening and enlightenment, high energy, idealism, inspiration and intuition, illumination, visionary, enthusiasm, creative/creativity, self-expression and sensitivity, and mysticism.  Number 11 tells us that to connect with our higher-selves is to know and live our soul mission and life purpose.

The Ghost in the Trees

I have to share this experience I had yesterday, September 29, 2012.

I was walking the dog around the back yard so that he could do his business. I carry my camera with me every where i go, because I’ve missed so many great photo opportunities leaving it behind. Once you run back inside to grab your camera… whatever you were going to photograph is usually gone. So I was watching the ground for feathers the birds have left behind and as I near one section of the yard, near the back of the property, I began to hum. Not long after I started humming I heard myself and thought, what the heck am I humming for and I thought to myself.. if the neighbors hear me out here they will think I’m nuts. Just then I looked up through the trees and I could see the sun beginning to set and I loved how the the sun was glowing through the branches, so I took out my camera and snapped 5 photos. I went inside, did some chores…. later started diner and as dinner was cooking I stepped back outside to snap a few photos of the full moon.

After dinner I ran upstairs to download the photos off my camera so I could post the moon photos. I had forgotten about taking the pictures of the sun setting and when reviewing them I discovered what I believe looks like 2 small angel children in the lights of one of the photos.  I flip to the next photo and WOW! There he is!! A man in a top hat with a scarf around his neck, his mouth open and it looks like he’s singing… you can see the rim of his hat, the scarf, eyebrows, eyes squinted, his nose and his mouth open showing both top and bottom rows of teeth!! FREAKIN AMAZING!!!

I’m posting all of the photos below. these are 100% untouched, no cropping no nothing .. just straight off my camera. the first photo I see the 2 small angels toward the top left. The 2nd photo shows the singing man right in the center of the tree and in the sunlight it looks like the face of a woman.. to the right I see a fox wearing wire rimmed glasses…lol.. the 3rd and fourth are the same as the 2nd only slightly different poses of the man.
