Hi all, bAZ here I have been asked to host this weeks Images and Words, an honour I gladly accepted.
The last three weeks have been very special for me, I took my Mom on the adventure of a lifetime.
We went to Michigan to visit with my fiancée's family for Thanksgiving and then spent 2 weeks on a marathon road trip from Detroit in Michigan to St Augustine in Florida, visiting with many Multiply friends along the way.
This was a thank you to Mom for the very many years she spent nursing my Dad during a long and debilitating illness.
She gave up 40 years of her life to care for him and for that she has my unending gratitude.
My folks were the best parents a man could hope to have and I am grateful to both of them for making me the man I am today.
So finally, getting to the point, this weeks word is gratitude, I look forward to some amazing entries from you all as always.

The Rules:
Each week we will post an original photo with words on it. The idea behind this group is to expand our minds through our photography.
Photos must be your own, but the words can be someone else's as long as credit is given after the words.
Your post can either be serious, or if you'd like comical, but never obscene .
Posts can either have one word on them,quotes, or full poems ... Your choice.
All posts are to be done on your own site in a blog form with a link back to it being left here.
New topics will be posted on Sundays.
Posts can be made through Saturday.
One post per person only please.
Beautiful post, Baz...
