Cropped to square format, auto-contrast applied, and a bit of sharpening, because of insufficient DOF.

In my camera bag

Two cameras. This one, and either a Canon D10 or newly an Olympus TG-2.

Flowers are just about the most common photographers' theme, excepting cats, dogs and family members! So, experiment with angles some. There's time enough; your subject isn't going to run away. Maybe you can come up with some really new aspect. In any case, you'll find the flowers are not an easy theme,only because these are easily accessible!
