the setting sun...His signature

The sunrise is God's greeting...
the sunset, His signature.

Here on the west coast we have had the most beautiful weather this September...
and every evening as the sun sets we enjoy the work of God painted across the western sky.

I thought I'd pick a few sunset pic's from my files today...
from places far and near...
and join Vee's note card party.
They have all been posted on 'My Front Porch' over the past few years.


Lund, British Columbia
...on the 'The Sunshine Coast'


Kona, Hawaii


Cayucos Beach, California


Wiltshire County, England...
where the sun sets over the circles of stones just as it has for thousands of years.

Is it so small a thing...to have enjoyed the sun?

  5. They'd all make a wonderful set of note cards. I am amazed at how far you've traveled, yet sunsets are sunsets the world over. I like that first quote, though I find myself wishing we had a good quote for the hours between midnight and dawn. Must go looking... Thanks so much for joining in when you weren't sure that you'd be able to!

  6. Judy, these are stunning photos. The first one is just glorious. My father visited Stonehenge while in Britain during WWI. I did have some photos of him there but can't find them. :( Thanks for sharing these beautiful notecards. Pamela

  11. Beautiful pics. I so love the beauty God has given us. Especially sunrise and sunset! Though I tend to see more sunsets then sunrises since I'm not a early bird!

  12. These speciaL note cards must bring back so many memories. Sunset is truly a wonder of the world and a link to those who like us, are appreciating sunset's peaceful beauty worldwide.
    I just talked to a friend in Nanaimo this morning who is expecting company and was describing a delicious dessert. She promised to send me the recipe and it turned out to be your Nanaimo Bar Ice Cream dessert. I had to chuckle as I'd sent her the link to your "Mennonite Girls Can Cook" website a few months back - after telling her what a wonderful book it was... It's a small world...and I think I mentioned before that Vee sent me her MGCC cookbook after you girls sent her the autographed copy. I sent her some of my note cards to thank her and she decided to start a note card party..."and the circles they go round and round..."

  19. My choice of notecards for sure. You know from over the years of visiting my blog, that sunrises and sunsets are favorites of mine. You captured them so perfectly, and I like how you shared that they are God's greeting and God's signature. Beautifully done!

  20. Loved your pictures of the sunsets, especially the one from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. I grew up in Kona and witnessed many of these beautiful sunsets. Sometimes we were even treated the the green flash that happens when the sun and the water meet as the sun goes down. Beautiful!
