O yes it is that time again Fred, Friday Theme Time.

You have chosen a lovely picture and the colours in the blurred BG are really very attractive.

Love the quotes today - I see you have paid equal attention to both Canon - Minolta, Nikon and Pentax....

TFS both picture and note/quote

HI Fred, nice photo indeed and a good choice for the theme, you favourite.
I like the colours here and the shallow dof making a nice backdrop to the lily.

Well done!

As for the fonts, it is called Amienne and it comes with word 2007. And for the title, it is the same font but I played with drop shadows.
