Full Moon enhances intuition
The pre-sunrise sky was nothing short of stunning, with an intense pink glow beneath a blue and lavender canvas. The chatty flock gathered at the ocean's edge, squawking loudly as the morning unfolded.
The clouds wrapped the morning in an extra cozy, ethereal glow. To the west, the full Buck moon set over the Indian River as fishermen set out for 48 hours of snapper season.
This full moon, nestled in a sky brimming with gifts, carries a powerful message. The man in the moon said, “Receive my energy. It has the power to heighten your intuition and give you courage. You may notice clarity where there was once confusion. Be open to riding the waves of change and transformation."
The full Buck moon invites you to trust the journey ahead, knowing that each wave of change carries you closer to your true path.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~Episode- Baby Dolphin Sarafina and Mom
Tales from the Lagoon ~Episode- Baby Dolphin Sarafina and Mom
This morning, Jagger, a male dolphin, graced the lagoon early on. Not long after, Momma Sarabi and baby Sarafina swam in, staying for a couple of hours to enjoy the peaceful waters.
The adults had their fill of fish and relaxed together while M and Charley, another male dolphin, made a quick appearance before heading out. Momma Summer and baby Solstice also stopped by for a brief visit before continuing their journey.
And as always, Sarafina remains absolutely adorable! This little one is all about cuddling with Mom and playfully bonding, a true heart melter!
Stay tuned for more tales!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode: Moms and Their Kiddos!
After 10 days without a sighting, it was such a joy to see baby Sarafina and baby Solstice again—and wow, they’ve both grown so much!
Baby Solstice, born around June 20th (give or take a week), was bursting with energy—leaping out of the water like popcorn on fire! Pure joy in motion.
Momma Sarabi and little Sarafina ( who is around 6 weeks old) were joined by several other adults in the lagoon, snacking, playing, and enjoying some quality pod time.
We’re still waiting to confirm Sarafina’s gender, but Solstice gave me a peek at the belly... so stay tuned for the gender reveal! Very exciting!
Stay tuned for more tales!
PS ~ I created a gallery on my website just for Sarafina and Momma Sarabi - Check out the love between these two. https://www.shelleylynchphotos.com/baby-sarafina

The flow always comes, grab the sweet spot when it does
Fluffy clouds filled the sky, soaking up every shade from soft pink and purple to a golden glow tucked into every nook and cranny.
Just as the first light crept in, three dolphins surfed northbound, inviting us into a moment of spontaneous play. A huge flock gathered at the shoreline, squawking like an out-of-sync choir, adding to the lively vibe of the picturesque morning.
A solo pelican glided effortlessly in the sweet spot of a golden wave said, “Let the energy carry you forward. If it feels like you’re swimming upstream, pause. Breathe deeply. Wait for the flow to arrive—it always does, ready to lift and support you.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Embodying love is your superpower
Mother Nature used every crayon in the box again today! With huge fluffy clouds, lightning and a color show the morning was cozy, dramatic and beautiful.
The chatty flock was at the edge of the shore when I arrived to the soft pink and lavender clouds on the horizon.
As the cloud dram unfolded the sun rose from the gentle fold of the clouds sending out beautiful, warm light.
A family of pigeons flew in to the join the laughing gulls. The larger pigeon said, ‘We are a messenger of love, peace and loyalty. We are here to encourage creating disruption in the chaos around with love and goodness. You see, by embodying love, your energy creates peace and harmony.”
Wishing you a day filled with beauty and love.

Let your imagination go wild!
Mother Nature transported us to another realm this morning with an otherworldly sunrise courtesy of a cloud portal. When I arrived at the beach, the flock was already gathered, framed by a sky painted in soft pink and lavender hues.
The masterful sky art was truly breathtaking—an open invitation for the imagination to wander into far-off places and dreamlike adventures. Let your imagination go wild!
A hole in the clouds resembled a glowing portal, with radiant color spilling from its center. Just beyond, dolphins surfed and frolicked in the waves, bringing us today's message, “Waves of all kinds come and go—relax into the flow and let them carry you forward.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Soak up the healing rays of sunlight
Before the sun came up, pink light rays jetted out into the sky with a beautiful blue backdrop.
The sun came up, kissing the ocean goodbye for the day. As it continued to rise, gold light beams streamed outward. Just as I was photographing the light rays, Pelican Highway flew by bringing us the message.
They said, “When life is bumpy or even scary, step into nature to feel centered. We highly recommend soaking up sunlight. Be open to receiving the golden rays of light, each one is filled with healing energy.”
On the way off the beach a male cardinal having breakfast chimed in adding, “I am a messenger of love, strength and passion reminding you to trust your intuition. And, If you are missing a loved one who has passed on, I’m here to remind you they are never far away.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Male cardinal
Cardinal was right, can you see the person in the sun?

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Playful Holiday
Ocean, the playful male dolphin from our last video, spent quite a bit of time in the lagoon this weekend, grabbing fish and teasing the pelicans.
He even circled the camera a few times, sharing his joyful energy and high-vibe happiness with us. Whisper, his bestie, and Remmy, another adventurous male dolphin, made appearances, popping in and out to grab a fish or two.
Stay tuned for more tales!
A moment of zen to find balance
Mother Nature gifted us a soothing morning, with a gentle layer of salty fog hanging over the shoreline. Velvety waves rolled toward the shore, calling surfers to come play.
The color show unfolded in calming blues, whites, and golds, reflecting off the wet sand where the flock rested in peace.
Among the laughing gulls, a few ruddy turnstones, skimmers, and egrets joined in. A zen turnstone shared the message for today, "A pause from the fray is essential to navigate the energy of this moment. Even in your daily tasks, like getting squeaky clean, take time to rest into inner stillness and find your balance."
Wishing you a beautiful day, friends!

Nurture the environment just as it nurtures us
Ahhhhh, a peaceful, reflective sunrise brought to you by wet sand mirroring back the breathtaking sky art.
The flock was at the edge of the ocean but feeling a bit skittish from the fireworks. Eventually, they flew over to say hello and watch the sunrise together.
As the sun came up, the golden glow filled the clouds and sky, bringing warmth and a gorgeous start to the day.
The message today is more of a request. With debris left over from last night’s festivities, let’s come together to pick up trash. By caring for our shared spaces, we honor the beauty around us. Let’s make today a reflection of kindness and stewardship, nurturing our environment just as it nurtures us.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Surfing and dolphins
Good Morning! It was a cozy 50 shades of grey and white morning. I thought sharing colorful dolphin and surf photos would brighten your day.

Gain perspective and open door for magic with Birds eye view
Ahhhh… with pink rays of light streaming into the sky and a cool breeze brushed through the dunes, the morning was both beautiful and refreshing. The chatty flock flew in, ready to get squeaky clean and witness the sunrise together.
Wet sand mirrored the masterful artwork overhead, creating the illusion of a doorway into another world. Sea oats leaned in the breeze, gently reminding us to stay flexible with life’s shifting winds.
After sunrise, a few osprey circled the lagoon. One, screeching proudly with a large fish in its talons, called out, “Celebrate! Gratitude is a powerful way to create a shift—and to inspire others.”
Nearby, an osprey and a grackle appeared deep in conversation. The osprey spoke of clarity and focus from a higher perspective. The grackle, shimmering with iridescent insight, brought messages of magic, transformation, and the wisdom of unexpected places.
Together they said, “Rise above to gain perspective. From that wider view, a shift becomes possible. And in that shift—magic and change can unfold.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Manatee Connection
When I’m in the water, I meet all kinds of wildlife. This time of year, manatees come into the lagoon to escape boat traffic. This one circled me, then glided into a quiet area where boats can’t go. When I see scars or fresh wounds, I often use my hands to send them healing energy—something I do in both my therapy and nature work.
PS~ Wednesday sunrise is previous post
teamwork
With a nice breeze, the morning was cooler yet cozy, as soft clouds soaked up the sweet colors of the sky. The chatty flock flew in, wings and hearts open, ready to embrace the new day.
The wet sand reflected the sky, creating what looked like an entrance into another world, inviting us to step in and explore.
Pelican Highway traffic paused to dive for breakfast. They said, “Slow down and enjoy the process of reaching your goal. Take a moment to savor the dive. When you can, dive in with a flock mate. There's plenty for everyone, and teamwork makes the job easier.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
open wings, open heart
Peace and clarity Bring a sense of belonging
The morning started with pink light rays streaming into the sky overlapping a pastel blue backdrop. The chatty flock of gulls were already at the ocean’s edge ready for bath time.
Pelican Highway cruised northbound over the long barreled waves. When the sun rose, the sky switched to a deep bronze color sending out heat and energy for the new day.
After sunrise in the lagoon Momma Sarabi, Sarafina, a solo manatee and turtle were all enjoying relaxing in the calm water.
The turtle swam over and stayed around my feet for a few minutes bringing us the message of the day. She said, “Steady movement and mindfulness is my secret. Floating in the moment, fully enjoying my surroundings… that’s where I find peace, clarity, and a sense of belonging in the world around me.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Playing with Baby Dolphin
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Playing with Baby Dolphin
This was from a couple days ago when Momma Sarabi and Baby Sarfina were hanging out in the lagoon with a 3rd dolphin. I wonder if the 3rd dolphin is Simba or Nala one of her other kiddos.
They all seemed to enjoy lots of snuggles and hang time. As the day went on, little Sarafina—now about 3 to 4 weeks old—caught a burst of energy and got the zoomies!
S/he zipped through the water, full of baby joy, and in a perfect bit of timing… s/he popped out of the water right in front of the camera!

Be open to receiving playful Light
Rainbows, dolphins and a sunrise! Oh My!
What a morning! They sky filled with dramatic clouds and sunshine to the east, a rainbow to the west and dolphins all around. The rainbow appeared near the nest of the mom turtle we met about 10 days ago filling the nest with positive energy.
The ocean was calm except for perfect golden waves calling to the surfers and Pelican Highway to catch a ride.
The rainbow and dolphins remind us how play, beauty and promise is always around. The dolphins said, “Be open to receiving the playful, light filled energy. Even when the clouds look stormy, a rainbow is always close.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Spontaneous hugs and play to make a shift
Mother Nature used every crayon in the box today, creating a colorful and peaceful start to the day. The chatty flock was already at the edge of the ocean chatting loudly. The cloud cover soaking up the color show kept the morning dark and cozy.
Extra-long barrel waves rolled in, calling to the surfers, dolphins, and Pelican Highway to come take a ride. Dolphins hugged just past the waves before coming in to catch a wave before heading northbound.
The dolphins said, “Take time to enjoy the moment. Spontaneous play and hugs can shift your mood and make the world look brighter.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Baby dolphins are fast, unpredictable, and full of energy! This video shows baby Solstice with Momma Summer along with the pod swimming along before a storm rolls in.
Notice the faint stripes on Solstice—those are fetal bands, markings from being curled up inside the mom. They naturally fade over time.
