Trying out a new 'old' lens that seems to have some issues in the glass. Anyway, Tamron 35-70mm Adaptall 2 on my Olympus EM1 MkII. Cropped and sharpened a little. I need to do some more work with this lens to see if it is a keeper. Focus point was the green bud in the centre; shot wide open at F/3.5; ISO 200 and 1/2500sec.

Me and Mrs WW are still in lockdown and planting things all over the house in any and all containers we can find. New life in an egg box...

Had a bit of a walk today......

Starting from the garden.



Someone else's garden


Crossing a stream


That ran under the gate


Past a vast bank of snowdrops


And home for a substantial dinner of sausage and mash.
