Today my miniature potted Narcissus got in bloom.
Flower is about 2 cm wide.
As you can see from #1 Poinsettia is still in good condition.

You did a very professional job on these IMO Nikola.......Classic.

I really like the last one. These things are starting to pop up around my home now but none of them are blooming as of yet. I look at them as the first sign that spring is around the corner. Very well taken Nikola, especially the last one.

Thanks guys!
This little thing (SP-320) is capable to produce some nice photos. Albeit I'm migrating to Canon EOS 400D (aka Digital Rebel XTi) I will not leave it so easy, thought.

Nikola,

I hope you do not switch over completely. Many of your pictures have a wonderfully intimate "right in there with the bug" feeling. I think the key reason is wide angle perspective coming from short lens at close distance. Compared to the SP-320's 8mm lens, your new 100mm will give much more separation of subject from background -- but that's not always a good thing!

Thanks Rik!
As a small thing (SP-320) there will be always a place for it in some pocket.
