My "Latest Thing" galleries are a nearly daily upload of whatever catches my eye at the moment, so it's a hodgepodge of images. They are then organized -- along with occasionally some images that don't make it into The Latest Thing -- into categories you can find by clicking in the upper left on "synapped."

![synapped > Not in the Mood
It's time for another iris. I took hundreds at the Schreiner's iris gardens near Salem some time back and have only processed a couple. These dark ones are really hard to expose correctly, but I love them so had to work on one. Looks like it uploaded darker than on my monitor. Guess I'll fix it later -- I'm just not in the mood....!
I had a verrrrry sad day today. I dropped my best, most expensive "monster" lens (worth $1600) and broke it. I just got it back from being repaired ('cuz it quit focusing) about a month ago -- cost $400. I had looked into an insurance rider about a month before that but didn't want to spend the $2-400/year and never got around to doing it. AAARRRGGGHHH!! No more bird pix for a looooong time... tears, tears, more tears...

![synapped > I'm so excited -- we have owlets in our neighborhood again this year! (these are barred owls, or what's commonly known as "hoot owls.") I just took these this morning. There are 3 of them. These 2 were on one branch... (more below) Here's a YouTube video with their sound, tho ours are much louder than you can hear on the video.

Any of you locals who would like directions, we live near Hockinson, and I'd be happy to tell you where to find them if you're interested.](http://www.synappedphoto.com/Other/The-Latest-Thing/i-HLr76fh/2/Ti/IMG_1643-Ti.jpg "synapped > I'm so excited -- we have owlets in our neighborhood again this year!
