Why do I get orbs in my photos?

Sometimes if I take a few photos at exactly the same time, some won't have them and some will. Same lighting, same situation. I took some great photos yesterday when we were at our friends home for Thanksgiving. I went through the photos last night and I did not notice any of these orbs. This morning I was reviewing them and it seems like a few popped up that I had not noticed. What is the deal with them? How can I prevent them in my photos. Is it a lighting issue? If thats the case, I don't understand why they are in some photos and not others in ideal lighting. On occasions, I have some photos where they are all over the place, like tons of tiny orbs. Other times, its a few bigger ones or even one larger one. Just sort of there. usually glowing bluish.

If there is a bright light shining towards you it can cause it. Sometimes strong overhead light can also do it in which case a lens hood will help or just a hand over the top of the lens blocking the light. ...........
