Lupin in mid-November

My wife and I were walking yesterday counting the number of things
still in bloom despite the date, 16 November. There weren't a lot:
some hawkweed, a red clover, this lupin, and then some things in
people's gardens. I think all three of the "wild" ones are actually
feral, introduced species -- what self-respecting native plant would
bloom this late in the year, wasting energy on a bee-less environment
and when seeds could not possibly be set?

This was taken in my "new" Olympus OM-1 with (fresh) Kodak ColorPlus
200 film. I was in a junk shop yesterday morning and saw this camera
in a kit with the f/1.8 F.Zuiko lens and an f/4 Zuiko zoom. There was
also a Minolta Freedom Zoom and a plastic 127 box camera. All of it
for $60. I wasn't interested in anything except the OM-1 and its
prime lens, but it all came together. It seemed to be working well
enough so I paid the man the money. I'm pleased with it.

The OM-1 is *very* heavily used, with as much brassing as I've ever
seen on a camera. But mechanically it's in good shape. And the meter
even does a good job.
