Color of the month February 2015 Sunset Pink

Oh February, how I want to love you. You are positively filled with celebration days: National Freedom Day (2/1), Groundhog Day (2/2), Valentine's Day (2/14), Mardi Gras (2/17) Chinese New Year (2/19).

All of these days fill my mind with vivid colors just thinking about how I might decorate to celebrate the day- but it's not enough. I want to look out my window and see a colorful landscape, but dear February, you just can't manage that.

What you can manage and do provide most beautifully is glorious sunrises and sunsets. It was a toss up which I'd pick for this months color, but in the end, the sunsets won.

Here's a photo of a resent sunset in my neck of the woods.

And here's my Pinterest board for this month. I hope you like it!

Follow Linda A.'s board Color of the month Feb. 2015 Sunset Pink on Pinterest.

If you have a sunset photo you'd like me to see, or other pins (family friendly) that boast a sunset pink vibe, let me know in comments and I'll add it to my board.

Stay Warm!

Please share in comments: Do you prefer sunrises or sunsets and why?

We have these sunsets over our mountains that are called the Sandia mountains. Sandia means watermelon.

I always love our sunsets here in the mountains of AZ - it's amazing the artwork that God can create in the sky! :)

I prefer sunsets. I'm never awake early enough to see the sunrise...LOL.

What a great picture you caught of that sunset. I truly was magnificent. I haven't noticed any sunsets or sunrises lately--just gray overcast skies and SNOW. Wait--the sky was actually blue today!!!!!!

I think sunsets! I don't want to be up early enough to see too many sunrises! lol

I love your sunset photo! I love both sunrise and sunset, but sunrise makes me happier because I think of the day ahead of me with all of the great possibilities.

I love sunsets but I really love a sunrise the best!

Such a pretty board. I love the lighting or whatever magic you do to make those pictures so awesome!

so pretty and great idea for color of the month! Spring is near!

What a lovely color to be inspired by. Honestly I xan choose between sunset and sunrise. Both are special in their own way.

We have been having beautiful sunsets like that too. Thanks for sharing!

I enjoy sunsets because I think they are much prettier to watch, and the variety of colors involved are more magnificent.
Stefani @ MommyEnterprises.comFebruary 13, 2015 at 10:38 AM
That is a pretty sunset. I like looking and taking pictures of sundown too!

Hi Patty,

I agree! I hope we all get a spectacular sunset on Valentine's Day!
Linda A KinsmanFebruary 13, 2015 at 12:30 PM
Hi Tara,

I can imagine your mountain sunsets can be breathtaking. Thanks for telling me (us) what Sandia means- I would have never guessed watermelon!

Hi Jamie,

It is amazing to look up and see God's handy work isn't it? I always told my girls the angels were painting the sky!
Linda A KinsmanFebruary 13, 2015 at 12:36 PM
Hi Lisa,
Ha! I rarely got to witness sunrises either until my girls got to middle school. Now I'm up before the sun most mornings!
Linda A KinsmanFebruary 13, 2015 at 12:37 PM
Hi Katherine,

You must be an early riser then. Sunrises are beautiful in their on right for sure.
Linda A KinsmanFebruary 13, 2015 at 12:38 PM
Hi Frugal,

Thanks! it's not my magic, these lovely photos are all made by mother nature and the help of some angels. :)
Glad you liked the board.

Hi Liz,

Thank you! When I was pulling the collection together, I was hoping to achieve a peaceful, serene feeling.

Hi Alison,

Thanks for the supportive comment! I know you need spring to come much sooner than me. You are getting way to much of winter!
Linda A KinsmanFebruary 13, 2015 at 12:41 PM
Hi Onica,

Thank you- I'm happy you like the collection and inspiration behind my choice.
Linda A KinsmanFebruary 13, 2015 at 12:42 PM
Hi Jessica,

I guess they are Mother Natures' way of ensuring we have color even in the dreariest of winter months.
Linda A KinsmanFebruary 13, 2015 at 12:43 PM
Hi Yona,

That's a very valid point- I think of sunrises in pastel palletes, and sunsets in vivid, bold colors.
Linda A KinsmanFebruary 13, 2015 at 12:45 PM
Hi Stefani,

We take a ton of pictures at dusk and twilight too. I'd love to see some of your captures sometime.Share!

Love the picture of the sunset. Great capture of a beautiful moment! I think I'll try to take catch a sunshine one of these evenings.
