Nice orbs!! I wish there were "orbs" falling here.. its so hot! I took a picture like that here because it rarely snows here. Weather is always the most beautiful thing in this world. Thanks for posting. :)
At risk of stating the obvious, this is a photo taken near dark with a flash, camera pointing upward at roughly 45 degrees with particles in the air (which appear to be snow flakes), next to a structure which appears to be a railing.
For the white tear-drop shaped items, I don't know how this effect is created, but they are located between the tree and the camera, with strong flash reflection. Given position between tree and camera, objects must be very small size. Most likely snowflakes very close to lens reflecting flash.
"Orbs": referring to the less bright perfectly round translucent spots in the photo...
These "orbs" do not reflect any flash. Therefore they must be either too far away, or too close to the lense to be reached by the flash, which projects outward.
The photo is plastered with these "orbs", none of them are bright, and some of them are dark, most appear on a dark background, a few are visible with the trees as their background, and there may be others that are present in the trees, but due to being translucent, are not so obvious in the photo.
The fact that at least one appears in the trees, means that it occurs between the trees and the lens, which means it is very small.
So this camera is pointing up, there is snow coming down. Since snow flakes fall randomly, and the snow fall appears moderate, then snow flakes must be falling on the lens of the camera. Since the temperature of the camera being held by a warm hand must be warmer than the snow coming down, each snow flake must melt.
When small snow flakes melt, they form a droplet on the lens. Since the droplet is far too close to focus, each one is out of focus. When a water droplet appears on a lens out of focus, it appears as a perfect circle, normally larger than the original size of the droplet.
In summary, camera is pointing up, snow is falling on the lens, which melts, and appears out of focus as perfectly circular specks, oops, I mean "orbs".

I apologize for stating the obvious in overdone detail, but apparently it was not obvious to the photographer nor the editor, both willing to overlook the obvious to provide flawed "support" to an "orb" theory. Why would you do this? Sorry, but it just don't make sense for adults to be doing this.
There is plenty of real evidence of UFOs without using a child's game to create transparently weak suggestive support.
