Reconnect to your hearts desire
It was a gorgeous morning with a light breeze and warmer temperatures. The big ball of light came up filling the sky with a bright, buttery yellow glow. The flock of seagulls and I enjoyed bath time at our usual time.
The excitement of the morning was seeing 2 eagles! A mature bald eagle was in hot pursuit of a juvenile bald eagle. Surprisingly the mature bald eagle gave up and retreated while the youngin’ went to irritate Skylar the osprey by invading her air space.
The eagle brings us the message of reconnecting to your hearts desire. When you rest deeper into your heart, you will find you feel lighter and happier. Eagles fly above using their impeccable vision to see all. Reminding us to use our vision of intuition and our eyes to know what is true. As if that wasn’t enough, the eagles said, “We represent courage, leadership and strength. Embrace your inner eagle and go for it.”
Wishing you a an amazing day friends!

Look outside the box
First light illuminated the sky with a stunning vibrant orange glow. With minimal clouds Mother Nature brought us a simply beautiful start to the day.
So many birds were out enjoying the perfect start to the day it was hard to snap a photo without a bird in it. Skimmers, the flock of seagulls and piper were all hanging out enjoying the morning. The sea foam was churned up from the waves making it look like the flock was having a bubble bath.
The ring billed seagull was very chatty today bringing us the message on behalf of all the gulls. She said, “I’m a reminder to look at life from a different angle which can give you a new perspective. Us seagulls are very creative and encourage looking outside the box for a solution. Use all your resources to soar above any problems, remembering everything is purposeful.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Jazzy Dolphin Time
These 2 were so sweet, just laying around being groovy. I added a little music inspired by Barry White kind of vibe. I recommend turning the sound on.
Flocking together for comfort
The beach looked like winter wonderland with the whipping wind grabbing the tops of the waves and sending salty mist in the air. The salty waves contrasting the dark sky gave us what I call Florida. The beauty and power of the ocean was truly breathtaking.
The flock of seagulls flew in hot at their usual time, they spread their wings to halt on a dime and say hello. Despite being cold, they went in for a short bath time. A huge flock of skimmers joined in and we all flocked together to keep warm.
They bring the message of coming together for support. They said, “The power of community is powerful. It’s true, we squabble and bite at each other, but in the end we know we are safer and warmer together. “
Pelican Highway was on the waves breaking further out heading southbound, using the wind and waves to carry them with ease. They remind us to rest into the flow, let the energy provide you support as you surf the waves of life.”
Wishing you a heart warming day!

Winter Solstice ~ Rebirth
We are having another rainy day here in sunny Florida. I thought I’d post a few photos inspired by today being the Winter Solstice.
In the northern hemisphere, we are experiencing the longest and darkest nights of the year with the least amount of sunlight. The darkness of winter asks us to restore, rest, and go within to find our inner light.
Today marks the time when the days begin to grow longer with more sunlight and will continue to do so until we reach the summer solstice again in June. The sun brings us a message of rebirth, as it stays visible longer, it shines rays of light that nurture and give life.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

It was another overcast, dark and windy kind of sunrise today. Instead of grey photos, I thought I'd share a Pelican Highway sunrise to brighten your day.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Let the flow carry you
The morning started with a dark and sultry fifty shades of grey. The sun stayed hidden giving us a winter looking kind of sunrise. The waves were huge beckoning the surfers to come play….and they did. They were coming from every direction until the water was speckled with surfers.
Even though the sun stayed hidden the vibe of the morning was playful and happy with the surfers and sand pipers. When the sandpipers weren’t resting they were flying in huge flocks down the beach in unison.
One of the surfers brings us the message of opening our hearts and receive the beauty. The flock of surfers bring the message of play and timing. Enjoy the waves, let the flow carry you to your destination.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Open hearted
Go beyond the surface for clarity
With lots of salty fog and balmy temperatures the morning was peaceful and cozy. The pre sunrise sky filled with a breathtaking pink and golden color show. The flock of seagulls was smaller this morning but still just as chatty!
A juvenile gannet was on the beach resting after her long trek from the north. This is called the “Fall Out” season when the snow birds are so exhausted they need to rest to recover.
Gannets are one of the largest seabirds of the North Atlantic, the gannet is gorgeous and a stellar athlete as it plunges into the sea in pursuit of fish.
This beautiful bird brings us a few messages. She said, “Along with taking time to rest, I bring the message of plunging through barriers, go beyond the surface to see things clearly.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Love the one you are with
At first light Mother Nature jetted her Batman blue light ray high into the sky, sending out the signal to shine bright. As the sun came up it filled the sky with a deep, buttery golden glow. The stunning colors and salty fog gave a serene start to the day.
Our messenger today was little Piper. She was at my feet showing off her beautiful refection when she said, “As I kiss my reflection deeply I am loving myself and the bonus is I’m also sending out energy ripples of love around me. As you can see I’m able to lift up easily and bounce through the day spreading joy.”
The pelican duo chimed in adding, “We fly in synch for comfort and strength. Our synchronicity gives us a super power making it easier to reach our destination with ease.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Come Fly with Me
Love the one you are with. Loving yourself send out ripples
Pep in my step
Weeeee. I’m tiny but powerful
Each moment is essential
The sunrise was a slow cooker this morning but when it came up, it was a stunner! The fluffy clouds stretched across the sky as they soaked up the pastel color show. The loud ocean was churning with intensity tossing salty sea foam in the air.
The flock of seagulls flew in at their usual time to connect and bathe. A new kid in town, a herring gull, brings us the message today. As she stopped on a dime, I think I heard the squeal of her brakes, she said, “Stop and enjoy the moment.” She went on to stay say, Sure, I look a little different than the laughing gulls, and sometimes we squabble, but in the end we all get along and know we are stronger together. “
A pelican flew by super close saying, “Pelicans bring the message of floating or gliding thought with ease. Like my herring gull friend I’m a reminder that each moment is essential. Relax your feathers, savoring this moment in time.”
Wishing you a savory day friends!
Fly forward with the wisdom from your past
Weeeeeeee! It was a windy sunrise this morning. Huge fluffy clouds filled the sky while the ocean churned with a lively vibe. The flock of seagulls, ruddy turnstones, and sandpipers came flying in just before sunrise but only stayed for about 15 minutes.
When the sun came up rays of light jetted into the sky giving us a hopeful feeling to the morning. After sunrise I met Annie, the Anhinga. I’ve seen her around for about a week but this was the first time we connected. When I looked into her eyes, my heart melted, such a sweetheart of a Being.
She said, “I have the ability to keep my body looking forward and turn my head to see behind me. I bring the message of seeing your past and using it for information to make decisions going forward. The past holds great information about patterns, the trick is not to stay in past regrets or pain, just use the intel as your guide moving froward. Go ahead, fly forward with the wisdom from your experiences. “
A dolphin and pelican grabbing snacks in the choppy water said, “We help support each other in grabbing snacks while enjoying each others company. Play, fun and love is how we roll.”
Wishing you a beautiful day!
Soulful Annie
I can face forward while looking behind me
What is meant for you will never pass you by
Mother Nature started with a dark fifty shades of grey turning to a cozy moody blues with a hint of pastel colors to lighten the mood. The clouds and fog added to the quiet and serenity. First light was really dark making the channel markers extra bright in the churning ocean.
A huge flock of seagulls flew in hot and chatty. They wanted to fly close and connect before heading in for bath time in the shimmery light. They were enjoying the buddy system while bathing.
A vulture flew by and landed next to the speed limit sign bringing us the message of speed, patience and timing. He said, “Take time to think things through. Not to worry, what is meant for you will never pass you by. You can trust the speed of your journey.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Bathing with the buddy system
Regenerate and restore
The breeze was moist and cool as my feet hit the sand. The ocean was churning more than yesterday but that didn’t keep Pelican Highway from using the waves to propel them down the beach.
The flock of seagulls and sandpipers flew in before the sunrise to say hello and grab a bath. One legger and Hook the seagull were very chatty. They bring the message of hanging in place, waiting to know how to move forward. They said, “As we enjoy this moment it attracts the next moment and with it, guidance for the next steps to take.”
There were 2 starfish on the beach, one larger than the other. The starfish brings the message of moving through life using all your instincts. “Your sensitivity is a strength, trust in your innate senses to help you navigate your life path. I am the messenger of renewal and regeneration. If you are tired, keep the faith, support your body in replenishing your resources. Like One Legger, hanging in place is a good way to recharge your battery.”
Wishing you a restorative kind of day!
Joyful Dolphin connections
As I was photographing the sun coming up, a pod of dolphins were surfing and grabbing snacks just to my left. I saw this young surfer coming to get in the water on my right and felt something exciting about to happen.
Within a minute of being in the water the dolphins swam just a little past the surfer to catch a wave. The dolphin rode the wave right to the surfer popping out right next to him. He saw them coming too. I think we were both screaming!
The photos are in the sequence of how it unfolded. Such a wonderful message of playful connection. And expect unexpected connections that bring joy.
Wishing you a day with joyful connections!

I watched a pod of dolphins feeding to my left just passed the waves as the sun was coming up. As soon as this young surfer was in the water, the dolphins came right over to say hello and play with in the waves with him.
I was so excited to see him surrounded!
More from sunrise on the way.
Fly Forward with ease
Inhale, Exhale, Repeat.
A beautiful morning of refections courtesy of low tide. The ocean was calm with perfect waves. Surfers were coming from everywhere to play in the huge waves. The flock of seagulls flew in at their usual time to bathe and watch the sun come up.
The surfers remind us about timing. Waiting for the right moment to hop on a wave so we can enjoy the sweet spot, supported by the energy.
A pelican stopped by for bath time after sunrise. He was flapping his wings to get the pesky bugs off. He said, “Like the seagulls, us pelicans need to shake off the bugs so we can keep flying forward, feeling free and easy." Bugs come in many forms, like emotions or pesky thoughts. My advice is to give yourself a good shake, take a deep breath, and stretch your wings so you can keep on flying.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Awaken your visionary powers
Mother Nature brought us a stunning angelic, heart opening sunrise. The pre sunrise sky filled with a pretty in pink color with wispy clouds absorbing the light. As I watched the clouds I noticed an angel forming. She slowly looked like she was diving straight down almost touching the shoreline.
It was a bird of prey kind of morning starting with an osprey. An osprey flew by and started a dive, she had her feet ready to grab the fish and at the last minute pulled up, aborting the dive. She flew down the beach, grabbed a fish, then flew back showing off her catch.
She seemed very proud. She brings the message of knowing when to change your mind if something doesn’t feel quite right. She also encourages us to celebrate our wins. A simple shift to gratitude and joy attract more abundance.
After sunrise I ran into a Falcon who was focused on breakfast. The Falcon represents visionary power, wisdom, and guardianship.
This very powerful bird asks us to awaken our visionary powers that will lead to your life purpose. He brings the message of change and transition with our vocation or work. They also encourage us to strategize, stay determined you got this!
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Relax and let the elements support you
Ahhhh, a simple and serene sunrise with a sweet pretty in pink color show. The breeze was slightly chilly, so the big ball of light was a welcome sight, filling the air with warmth.
One legger and her flock of seagulls friends flew in before the sunrise using the wind to hang in place and bring us the message of the day. The said, “Wind is our friend if we use it to our advantage. The key is not to resist it, but rather relax into it and let it assist and support our endeavors.
The seagull I call One Legger inspires me on a daily basis. She is confident and strong, yet sweet and able to connect with an open heart. She reminds us to lead with our hearts as we fly forward. She said, “Focus on your strengths, relax your feathers, you don’t have to do all just right, trust everything will fall into place.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

The Tale of the starfish
What a wonderful morning filled with so much beauty and depth. The breeze had a little chill but once the big ball of light emerged, warmth filled the air. The waves were perfect beckoning to the surfers to come play.
The flock of seagulls were extra cute with bath time today and full of poses. A royal tern in the flock pointed to her boo boo saying, “I know taking care of myself daily is how I will heal the wound. Tender loving care is my secret weapon.
A sunriser was saving starfish as he walked along the beach. Starfish have the ability to regenerate, healing themselves over time. They agreed with the royal tern about taking time for growth and renewal.
As the sunriser found the starfish he was gently tossing them back into the ocean reminding us of THE TALE OF THE STARFISH.
IT ALL STARTED WHEN…
A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm. When she came to each starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean. People watched her with amusement.
She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this? Look at this beach! You can’t save all these starfish. You can’t begin to make a difference!”
The girl seemed crushed, suddenly deflated. But after a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean. Then she looked up at the man and replied, “Well, I made a difference for that one!”
The old man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had done and said. Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing starfish back into the sea. Soon others joined, and all the starfish were saved.
