I went for a walk in the woods yesterday, hoping to get a photo of a Great Horned Owl who allegedly spends a lot of time in a certain tree. Apparently he had forsaken his old stomping grounds as there was no sign of any owl activity at all. But maybe I'll catch him another time! Meanwhile, I was more than happy to settle for a pleasantly invigorating tramp through the snow. I always love birdhouses so when we approached this one I swung my camera up to my eye to get a nice shot. Except I clicked too soon and got these handsome reddish branches instead. Although I reshot and actually have a focused photo of the (Purple Martin's?) house, I like the one above better. After all, these branches are here, slugging it out through Minnesota's tough winter months. Is there even anyone home at the Martins?

You're right to "focus" on the red dogwood, because afterall, the Purple Martins aren't even putting in time at the house right now. And GHO, I'll let you know the moment we see him again.
