I have physiotherapy on Tuesday and Friday mornings. As the weather was nice I decided to go for a walk with the camera on Tuesday afternoon to continue exercising my leg and arm.
For the walk I used my oldest lens, an Olympus OM Zuiko 50mm f/1.8 I purchased with an Olympus OM1 in 1976. I also decided to keep the lens set at its maximum aperture, f/1.8, for all the shots.
The lens is one of the early OM system lenses know as silvernose (or silver nose depending on the reference) because they have a shiny brushed aluminium front on the filter mount. They’re often single coated rather than the multi coating used on modern lenses. My copy of the lens has had a hard life over the years, it was once submerged in Georgian Bay and dried out in an oven.
Some interesting variegated Hosta leaves.
A small group of Dandelion seed heads. I didn’t spot the falling seed until I posted the photo on Instagram a day later.

Glad you are taking it slow and easy. Nice walk. Nice findsđ
Thanks, I’m walking with a cane now and the physiotherapist says I may not have to use the cane for long.
Heed the advice of the physiotherapist and use the cane. Time heals and you must be patient to give it time and not overdo things. I speak from experience thinking I am a heroine of sorts but end up hurting self more and come next month I will need to be back in hospital to sort out my spine. So, do take care and blessings for a speedy recovery đ
Thanks, I am following their advice.
