This crocus was taken in March last year with a Canon S95 which I try to keep with me at all times.

I used to occasionally come across subjects like this while I was out at lunchtime and used to wish I had my camera with me. It's not as good a camera as my DSLR, but someone said to me recently, 'Your best camera is the one you've got with you', which is absolutely true.

    Great shot, great advice. I must find a decent small camera to carry around with me :)

    ...the flowers haven't come out over here - so I can enjoy your picture even more! I also like the way the picture is composed very much.
