The little Canon that could!

Do you need a real fancy camera for everything? NO! This was taken with my Canon G7 while walking past these flowers at the Street of Dreams in 2007. I have this as my wallpaper at work and I was marveling how it came out and thought it might make a good post here:

Canon PowerShot G7
1/125s f/4.0 at 7.4mm

To get this I had already preset the camera to macro mode, and when I spotted the bee, I just pushed the camera down real close and squeezed the trigger a few times. I let the camera control focus since I had no real way to judge that (besides, it was bright sunlight and I couldn't see the display). I'm still amazed at how well it did under such circumstances.
