“Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, you inspire shouts of joy.”
Psalms 65:8
Hello dear readers. It has been a week of heavy rain and dreary skies with a forecast of colder weather for the weekend. By late February I do get a little anxious for spring, how about you?
Our long-time readers know we typically share a sunset at the end of our Simple Southern Sunday posts. We have received a lot of comments about them over the past 5+ years. I decided to devote an entire post to fifteen of my personal favorites. One thing for certain…no two are alike. Enjoy God’s artistry as only He can paint a sunset!

Butch and I took a trip in 2013 to Venice, the Greek Isles, and Istanbul in celebration of our fortieth anniversary. As we were sailing from Crete, we were overwhelmed by the beauty of this amazing sunset!
What a welcomed sunset at Maho Beach on St. Maarten. The day before we had experienced a tropical storm with sustained winds of 45-50 mph for over twelve hours. What a difference a day can make!
As parents, we are so proud of our son’s hard work in starting his own digital media business a few years ago. We love including some of his photography like this gorgeous sunset capture in Mobile, AL!
Blue and pink sunset!
Sunset over Appalachian Foothills’ farmland!
Lavender and pink skies!
A recent sunset over our pasture!
A sunset with a rain shower!
A favorite sunset captured by our sweet, Katy!
We live in an area that has an abundance of lakes, rivers, and streams. Most of our sunset pics through the years where water is present were taken within 20 miles of home!
“There is nothing more musical than a sunset”.

Sometimes the sky seems to be wishing us a good evening!
Sunset over Grayton Beach, FL!

The above photo and this one were both taken at the same spot on Lake Gadsden. This last photo was taken on Christmas Eve 2019 and it is the most splendid sunset that I have ever seen. As I was taking photos with my Iphone, it was constantly changing. I must have taken fifty photographs and they are all slightly different.
“Enjoy the beauty of a sunset, nature’s farewell kiss for the night.”

A glorious collection of sunset photos Pam, each uniquely beautiful and breathtaking! I’ve done the same thing with my iPhone as you’ll miss the show if you run inside to grab your camera. 🙂 Happy Thursday ♥
Thank you Mary. I enjoy trying to capture the show before it is over.
I love sunsets and sunrises! You have taken many beautiful pictures.
Thank you Penny! I enjoy trying to capture their beauty!
Pam, they are each and every one simply glorious. You really should combine them in a book. It would be a piece of art.
Hope your rain ends soon. Hang on, spring is on the way! Wishing you a wonderful day and weekend, my friend.❤
Thank you Sandra. Yes, spring will come. Happy Thursday ❤️
Breathtaking! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Della. Happy Thursday !
Wow wow and wow Pam, they are all so stunning! And seeing them all together is quite overwhelming! Alabama is just as beautiful as the places you have traveled! This post has really cheered up this dreary morning, thank you!
Jenna
Winter sunsets in Alabama are stunning. We have a beautiful state, from our Foothills to the white sand beaches!
Glorious! Every.single.one!
Thank you Rita!
As it is raining here right now Pam, this post is so cheerful! Thank you for all the beautiful shots. I must admit the last one is magnificent! God’s paint brush is the best! You captured God’s beauty perfectly in this post. Have a wonderful day! Clara ♥️
God’s paint brush is perfect! Hope you enjoyed some sunshine today and Happy Weekend Clara ❤️
Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing
Thank you Donna!
How wonderful you are Lord in all your creations! Thank you for sharing Pam. ❤️
Amen, thank you Margaret!
Oh my goodness.. breathtaking, each one.. God in just a smidgeon of His created glory … can you imagine the
finale? It is snowing here in buckets today and the excuse to hibernate is welcome. A good book, flavorful tea
and pastoral-themed music…ahhhh~ Wishing all a blessed day.
Amen, just to think of heaven!
Each photo is glorious. Our mighty God is the master painter. I love each sunset. They are truly a gift to enjoy and if I could I would love to have a home set in such a way that I could enjoy both sunrise and sunset.
I love this post.
Thanks Bonnie. God is the master Artist!
Absolutely FABULOUS! God is good,God is love!Thanks,dear friend!
Thanks sweet Maristella!
These photos are breathtaking!! The first one is my favorite. I think I would have that one framed and hung up in my living room so I could see it every day.
Thanks so much Michelle. Have a good weekend!
Rick often says, as I go to snap yet another up-north sunset, “Don’t you have enough of those?” “But they are all different,” I say. And see? I’m right! These are all different — and stunning.
Yes, they are Jeanie! Thank you.
Dear friend, I thank you very much that you have shown this collection of images of sunsets. I could not say which one is better than another … all are very beautiful and some very original for their color. I really like Katy’s photo, it’s original and her color is beautiful and relaxed.
Thank you for showing a beauty that is always so pleasant.
A hug
Querida Dolores, gracias por tus dulces comentarios. Estoy tan contento de que hayas disfrutado de las puestas de sol, ¡Dios es el artista! Disfruto tratando de perseguir una puesta de sol, se mueven rápidamente. ¡Te deseo un feliz fin de semana!
Abrazos, Pam
In the Anglican faith we recite the Nicene Creed every week…God from God, light from light, true God from true God. There is no way to look at these beautiful photos and not know God created them. Thank you for sharing.
God is Creator! Thank you my friend!
What a gorgeous collection of photographs! Some of them reminds me of our Bolivar Peninsula beaches
Thank you so much Sylvia!
My favorite time of the day to look at the sky Pam! Breathtaking shots!
I hope you are feeling better now.
Bless you sweet friend,
Jennifer
Feeling better, thank you my friend!
Wow! These photos are all absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing nature’s artwork.
Thanks so much!
What an amazing array of sunsets! God loves to get out his paintbrushes! Glad to see you are feeling better! 😊
Thank you my friend!
Oh, WOW! Such splendor, it is truly hard for me to take it in! I thought the pink and purple was my favorite, then I got down to the end photo and, oh, my! I can see why it is your favorite. You know I never thought of how each and every sunset is different! It is just one more demonstation of the awesome power of our great God. Seeing these just makes worship well up within my soul and I can’t thank you enough for sharing them with us!
I wanted to share this song that came to my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqfpFElTHbM God bless you dear ones!
