Let go so you can soar!
At first light the air was still, the ocean looked like lake Atlantic while the fluffy clouds soaked up soft light. Tide pools reflected the heart opening beauty in the sky. The sun eventually made its way through the clouds to brings us the sweetest bronze light on the calm water.
Pelican Highway traffic was light gliding in both directions over the perfect emerald waves. As they floated by they said, “Use the energy of the waves to make your journey easier. Feel your way to the sweet spot, you’ll know it when you feel supported and things feel easier.”
On the way off the beach I ran into 2 mourning doves who were very chatty. When I asked the one in the photograph what her message was, she tilted her head and said, “I’m a messenger new birth. I also symbolize peace, love and freedom. I’m here to remind you to let go of any anchors so your heart can soar!”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
mourning dove
This moment creates your next moment.
The morning started out extra cozy with cloud cover and minimal color. The colors came to life after the sun made it up from behind the wall of grey clouds.
The clouds reflecting on the tide pools and wet sand were mesmerizing. Egrets came to dance through the water grabbing breakfast.
Pelican Highway looked gorgeous as they floated along the shore above the emerald waves. Dolphins surfed and chased fish, enjoying a few leaps too!
The egrets, pelican highway, and dolphin came together to bring the message of trusting in the timing. They said, “Trust people, places and things are lining up, sometimes it’s happening behind the scenes.”
The egret went on to say, “Stay present in the moment. You see, this moment is creating your next moment. Keep your focus on the here and now and let the magic unfold.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Dolphin Impersonates a Shark
Yesterday I had the pleasure of relaxing with M and Charley, 2 male dolphins.
M went to grab a fish in the shallows, when he returned he showed off his best shark impersonation. I think that was his way of saying sure we live in the shark bite capital of the world but we dolphins too!
Stay tuned for more tales!
Loving yourself helps others
Mother Nature did it again, bringing us a magical sunrise using every crayon in the box. First light started with a pretty in pink glow. With the absence of a breeze, the stillness was palpable.
The soft clouds, reflections and beautiful colors created an ethereal masterpiece to start our day. A few gulls showed up to paddle around int he tide pool and get squeaky clean. One of the gulls and a solo egret got together to bring us the message today.
The egret looking at his reflection said, “Go ahead, Love the one you are with, fall deeper in love with yourself. “ A gull sending out ripples with her open wings and heart said, “Yes! I agree with the egret! You see, when you love yourself and keep your heart open, you send out ripples of love to others.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

One step at a time with focus
WOW! 30 minutes before sunrise was truly breathtaking. Pink ribbon shaped clouds stretched across the sky reflecting on the water and wet sand. Soft waves rolled into the tide pool adding textures and depth to the Monet looking sunrise.
When the sun came up surrounded by hugging clouds it stayed for just a few minutes before disappearing behind the veil of soft clouds. The mixture kept the morning cozy and serene.
A handful of gulls came to enjoy bath time while a solo egret looked for breakfast bringing us her message.
She said, “The reason I am such a good hunter is I am deliberate about taking each step with focus. I relax into the present moment and take one step at a time toward my goal.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Small change inspires transformation
Wow! The color explosion int he sky was magnificent this morning! The air was still at first light as the pink glow hovered over the ocean on the horizon. As the sun came up, a nice breeze came as the big ball of light appeared on the horizon.
A surfer hopped in the water before the sun came up, ready to soak up the beauty and energy while waiting on a wave.
On the way off the beach, bees and dragonflies were hanging out around the flowers in the mangroves.
A dragonfly brings us the message today. She said, “I’m a messenger of transformation and adaptability. I’m here to remind you that even the smallest change can inspire transformation.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
What does your heart want to birth?
Mother Nature brought us a pretty in pink serene sunrise. As I reached the edge of the ocean there was a ghost crab watching the pink glow in the sky.
A chatty flock of gulls flew in for bath time and surprisingly didn’t disrupt the crab and her zen moment.Pelican Highway traffic was moderate heading southbound as the sun came up to greet the day.
The crab was quite chatty. I asked her what she was doing by the ocean rather than in the soft sand up by the seacoast. She said, “You see the orange mass means I am going to be a mom. The orange color means I am newly pregnant, my eggs are just 1- 5 days old. In just 14 days the little ones will be born.”
“I’m here to ask you what your heart wants to birth? Do you have an idea or desire to bring into reality? Now is a great time to manifest! You see today is the new moon and it helps with fresh and new beginnings, especially in the next 2 weeks.”
“Us crabs know sometimes we have to step sideways or even backward before going forward, so not to worry if you feel you are doing a little side step on the way to your goal.”
Wishing you a bountiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Best Friends - 2 Male Dolphins Snuggle Time
M and Charley are 2 male dolphins who are best friends.When male dolphins leave their moms they hook up with another male forming a bromance.
M was the first to arrive in the lagoon. I was excited to see him because it has been a couple weeks since he’s been by to grab snacks and hang out. I told him Charley passed through the other day without him and so I asked where Charley was today.
M left for about 5 minutes and when he came back Charley was with him! They stayed for about an hour and half. This video highlights the last 30 minutes of their visit when they were being very sweet and affectionate with each other and the camera.
I hope you enjoy their sweet connection.

Stretch to move forward
Mother Nature brought us another day with huge clouds on the horizon. The color show started off very subtle until the the sun came up lighting up the sky and ocean with a golden orange blast of light.
A chatty flock flew in early to enjoy a bath at our usual time. Pelican Highway and the surfers were enjoying perfect waves forming from the silky ocean.
A couple pelicans we’re in the river after sunrise. One brings us the message of stretching past our limits. She said, “You see as I reach my wings back they lift me up and forward. I highly recommend giving yourself a good stretch, seriously, look how it shows off my beauty while moving me forward.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Just a few photos to honor the whoppers of the Indian River lagoon. A mix of redfish and bluefish, the biggies! I have a few more of my favorites on my website. https://www.shelleylynchphotos.com/gallery-1
The dolphin were binging on redfish, something I had never seen before. Shortly after the week long binge, a big hurricane hit and the water turned pretty yucky. Now, I look to them for my weather report.

Mother Nature brought us a great day for the cloud game! So many shapes and figures on the horizon soaking up the colors.
At first light, the clouds were grey and white then a hint of pink drizzled on the edge. Once the sun was up the landscape changed to a golden scene of beauty.
The almost new moon was high int he sky in conversation with Jupiter (last photo). They bring us the message today. Jupiter said, “I am the planet of expansion and luck. I am known as the “Great Benefic.” The new moon beings new beginnings and fresh starts. Together, we are a powerful combo bringing you luck and the energy to manifest your dreams!”
A couple pelicans grabbing breakfast after ward chimed in. The pelican said, “It’s true! Look at my lucky catch. I highly recommend being open to receiving the fish of your dreams.”

Almost new moon and Jupiter
Let go so the new can come to you
The almost new moon was bright in the sky surrounded by the visible Jupiter and Mars as I walked to the beach. New moon energy can be felt 3 days before and after the actual day.
The new moon said, “Use my powerful energy by acknowledging what your heart desires. Now is the time to visualize and manifest with my assistance. I must also let you know, I can bring emotions to the surface, much like a full moon. This is a good opportunity to release the old so the new and exciting can come to you with ease.”
If that wasn’t enough, heart expanding pink rays of light streamed into the blue sky at first light. Eventually the big golden ball of light came up adding a golden glow to the sky.
A shark grabbing breakfast said, “I’m here to encourage using your strength and sensitivity to know how to take advantage of the fresh start new moon energy. Go ahead and kick it, You got this!”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Shark
Daily self care
Wowie! The clouds were definitely the star of the sunrise this morning. Starting off soaking up the rich pink glow then slowly changing to gold and blue.
The flock of gulls flew in early with wings and hearts open ready for bath time as the sun came up kissing the ocean good bye for the day.
The gulls bring us their simple secret to stying healthy. “Everyday, we take a bath to get the bugs off. You see bugs are are like stress, if we ignore them, they build up. A few minutes in the water flapping around is fun and makes us feel better.”
Wishing you a day filled with beauty!

A quick connection to elevate your mood
AHHHH, with the absence of a breeze and calm ocean the mooning was quiet. Huge wishy and fluffy clouds kept the light low adding to the cozy feeling.
The chatty flock flew in to watch the sun come up and grab a bath. We happily went to the water to avoid the bugs. Perfect waves rolled toward shore soaking up the soft light and calling to the surfers to come play,
Wet sand reflected the artful masterpiece that felt like we were transported to another world.
After sunrise a couple dolphins came in to chill and grab a couple snacks. A solo pelican arrived to join in breakfast. The dolphin and pelican said, ‘We hope you get to play with friends today. Just a quick connection can create a shifting elevate your mood.”
Wishing you a playful day friends!

Embrace change to grow
Ahhhhh, Mother Nature brought us a calm and cozy sunrise with lots of fluffy clouds soaking up the colors. Soft light glistened on the flat ocean, illuminating the waves as they rolled toward shore. Pelican Highway was lined up gliding down the beach in perfect unison.
The chatty flock of laughing gulls, a few royal terns, sandwich terns and even a couple skimmers were enjoying breakfast.
After sunrise a lizard got my attention. When I asked, “Really? You’re our messenger today?” She tilted her head and said, “YES!”
She said,”I’m here to help you remember you have an innate ability to regenerate and grow. Use challenges to help you transform and shift. Embracing the change will help you emerge even stronger than before.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Things eventually line up
First Light brought rays of light jetting out from eh clouds on the horizon. Pink and blue colors started the day until the sun came up adding orange and gold to the mix.
The very chatty flock of gulls flew in early ready to get squeaky clean. Caramel colored waves rolled toward shore carrying Pelican Highway southbound.
Pelican Highway brings us the message of alignment. They said, “We can be disorganized but eventually we get lined up. We are a reminder to keep flying, eventually things are align and the flow will carry you froward with ease.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Pelican Highway lined up
Slow and steady
Mother Nature used low tide to bring us a heart opening reflective sunrise. Wet sand mirrored back the majestic beauty of the sky creating a breathtaking start to the day.
A chatty and large flock of gulls flew in early to enjoy the sunrise and grab a bath. For the 3rd day in a row Pelican Highway was surf fishing. A young pelican grabbing a fish in the cresting wave got caught in the wave and was tumbled a bit. He eventually got himself up and out bringing us a message.
He said, “It’s true sometimes the waves can take us over. What I know for sure is it is temporary. I was able to find my bearings and pull myself out of the white water.”
After sunrise I ran into a snail trekking along leaving a trail of her past. She said, “Seeing where I have been gives me helpful information for how to move forward. Since I am a snail, I’m a reminder to trust the pace. Slow and steady, trust the timing, keep chugging along, one step at a time.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
A break from the fray to recharge
When I reached the ocean, the morning was quiet, not a creature was stirring, not even a bird. In a blink of an eye, the morning came to life with birds flying in from every direction. I was so excited when Pelican Highway stopped for snacks right in front of me while the sun was coming up.
It was a feeding frenzy. Pelicans, sandwich and royal terns, laughing gulls, all grabbing teeny fish for breakfast.
The pelicans were showing off their athletic skills, fishing while surfing the waves. Small sharks were in the mix joining in the breakfast buffet.
A solo pelican landed on the beach with the laughing gulls saying, “It’s ok to take a break for the fray. A little time out of the ‘rat race’ spending quiet time chatting with friends is a nice way to recharge.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon~ Episode - Dolphin Uses Photographer to Confuse the Pelicans
After one dolphin leaps out of water, another dolphin confuses the pelicans by chasing fish toward me throwing the pelicans off his scent. The pelicans flew right at the camera but stopped not knowing where the dolphins went. After a couple seconds, they figured it out and went after him and the mullet.
Oh the drama!
