Wordless Wednesday: Giving thanks for beautiful sunsets
Posted on by Mama's Empty Nest
Author: Mama's Empty Nest
Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'. A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera. Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” View All Posts

I love sunset pictures that appear to have been painted as opposed to photographed. Great shot!

Isn’t it interesting that it looks like it’s been painted? It’s an untouched, natural photo too, I didn’t edit it to make it appear that way. I like to think God is painting the sky with all His magnificent colors just so we can see His masterpieces. Thank you kindly for the compliment! Happy Thanksgiving!

How beautiful! For some reason, that reminds me of the sunsets of my childhood – over the field and behind the woods!

I’m happy to share this sunset I caught off my back yard deck. Your comment reminds me of that old song, “over the river and through the woods to Grandmother’s house we go…” Thanksgiving memories are the best. Have a lovely Thanksgiving, Dianna!
