Shed the old to bring in the new
Pixar, one of our seasonal laughing gulls, is back! He’s been visiting New Smyrna Beach every fall and winter for the past few years. His return brings a sweet message: "Reuniting with your flock might happen when you least expect it."
The ocean was calm, with small waves gently carrying Pelican Highway down the beach. Dolphins were spotted on the horizon, grabbing breakfast, while the gulls gathered at the shoreline for their squeaky clean bath time.
When the sun emerged from behind the clouds, the sky shifted from a soothing pink to a hot golden glow, ushering in a brand-new day.
One especially proud laughing gull caught my eye—she pulled out an old feather and carried it around like a trophy. She said, “Celebrate letting go of what no longer serves you. Shedding the old makes space for the new—and your next great adventure!”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
