Ghost?

Anyhow, it may be a case of "lens flare".

Light (probably the sun) came in from a side angle, and exposed that spot on the image. It looks like pretty good sunlight rippling through the trees back there. But, I could be mistaken. What time of day was the picture taken and what direction were you facing when you took the picture? Was the sun behind you or off to the forward side of the camera?

Here's a link to an article about lens flare....

And it doesn't have to be the sun. It could be any source of bright light off to the side. There wasn't a yard light or car headlight off to your side was there?

Just a ball of electricity created by tectonic action on pieseo electric material.

The ghost of Stonewall Jackson searching for William Tecumseh Sherman! Actually, I haven't a clue. It appears to be from a light source of some kind, but don't think a porch light would cause that effect.

It's a spirit orb. When these "spirit orbs" or "angel orbs" appear near a single person or a group of people in a photo, it's a sign that they are blessed with the goodness, positive energy, and protection of angels. When orbs appear in a particular location, it's also a sign that angels are hovering nearby and the location is particularly blessed.

OR it's just a piece of dust in your lens reflecting light, happens most frequently with older digital cameras. I vote dust, you don't really believe in spirit orbs do you?!

smstonypoint - there are two lights affixed to the house and one was was 'on' the other was blown-out; equal distances from the door(s).

Light source? Here is a pic taken the same day, facing the other direction.



The sun had began to set and had past the point of any leeching through the tree's. There are no other car's because this is all part of my yard (back yard). Barn shows the setting of the sun on the façade. You can drive a tractor trailer around the barn as it is a circle drive back there. Pic(s) are dated the same and if you look closely you can see debris from the fell tree in both photo's. I never noticed this in the image as I was excited to have a new tractor, "never owned anything new before" and was focused on it instead. Thanks for the comments, at least someone out there kinda thinks like I do. Who knows what it is.... sure would take a lot of candle power to make a light that bright. There is a 60w bulb in the porch light and 'it' seems a lot brighter.

It's the Ghost of John Deere past wondering why you bought a Mahindra.

Was there anything else on the stump behind the chainsaw?

I think it is the sun reflecting off of the handle or something else on the stump.

You can see a narrow strip of sunlight where I put the arrows in your picture.
