I had a huge surprise yesterday as I was scrolling through older photos taken in the forest at the end of the road. I had mentioned (The Happiest Day of My Life) my years-long quest to find Owl in this forest and had finally found it just this past summer for the first time. So what is this lurking in the background?

Photobombed by Owl!

This was taken on a walk on Winter Solstice in 2014. A pair of quick idea snapshots of the patterns of bare branches in the sunlight. When I downloaded the day’s images way back then I obviously paid no attention to it, if indeed I even looked at it at all.

Owl has been there all this time but my eyes have not been in focus.

Can’t see the forest for the trees.
