Tiny Tuesday

I love these little lanterns, particularly when they start to decay and the little orange seed head shows through the filigree cage. This is the only one I have managed to find that is almost a complete skeleton. 
I experimented tonight with my old 35 - 105mm Tokina lens that I brought back with me from Australia last month. It weighs a ton and dwarfs my little Panasonic 4/3 camera but I was interested to find it had a close focus setting. It seems to take nice macros but, of course, I forgot to do a side by side comparison with another lens.
Thanks to ninniex for hosting this week.
