These were all taken with my 12--45 mm lens.

Nice and clear. Love the compositions. My favorite is the first one with the dramatic lighting 🙂

This lens pleases me more and more! Light and easy to focus and fix the composition, all before taking the shot!

It's my walking-around lens and I could not be happier with it.

I'm especially in love with the orange flowers in the 3rd photo. They are absolutely lucious (visually, I mean).

The orange flowers are symbolic for Day of the Dead. The fragrance is said to attract souls to the altar, according to Google!

They are a truly beautiful flowers.

Ours run year round and I would be really bereft if they didn't.

I am glad that you enjoyed the photos. Thank you for your comments.
