Let the old go so the new can come in

Ball, Ball, Ball…the sunrise through the eyes of a dog.

The Sahara sand brought us a hot and hazy start to the day.  The sun and moon were both hugged by soft fluffy clouds.  The color show was almost black and white until the sun came up adding a copper glow to the sky. 

Dolphins swam southbound past the waves when the flock of gulls flew in to grab a bath.  A handful of royal terns joined in the morning ritual.  

One of the royal terns with feathers stuck to his beak said, “I highly recommend pulling out those old feathers.  You know the things from the past that keep new growth from coming in. Go ahead let those feathers go so the new beauty can come forward.”

Wishing you beautiful day friends!

Play to shift your mood

The morning started out dark and cozy with a cool breeze that felt more like a fall day than a mid summer sunrise.  A large flock of gulls flew in early.  Usually the flock doesn’t return from the north until September, so far it seems they are returning ahead of schedule.  The full moon was extra stunning surrounded by a vibrant blue sky.

A cloud wall on the horizon lit up with lightning before dissipating after the sun came up.  Surfers, dolphins and pelicans were called to play in the waves.  

Dolphins were leaping and jumping to the right and left.  They bring us the message of breaking out into spontaneous play.  They said, “Playing is a great way to shift your mood.  Just a minute or two of giggling or play can make a big difference.”

Wishing you a playful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Baby Dolphin Learning to Tail Slap

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Baby Dolphin Learning to Tail Slap

Just a quick 15 second video to show the cuteness of this calf. It looks like this little one is learning how to use his/her fluke (the tail.) To me it looks like s/he is learning to tail slap, an important technique used to communicate.

After practicing using her tail, they chased a few fish. The youngin' swam right next to her momma keeping up with momma speeding into the shallows for some mullet.

Stay tuned for more tales!

Tales from the lagoon ~ Episode -Baby Dolphins and Pelican Party

Tales from the lagoon ~ Episode -Baby Dolphins and Pelican Party

The day started off with several immature pelicans in the lagoon looking for fish. Immature (aka young) pelicans are brown and white. Eddy, my pelican friend who I have known since he was immature now his mature or grown up colors was there to show the youngins how to fish. He was there scoring all kinds of fish from the dolphins.

Then the momma’s and the babies came in to relax, nurse and grab some fish. Squirt was there too! Facebook named little Squirt back in May. It looks like the fetal bands which are stripes from being scrunched up in the mom are almost gone.

About an hour later Daniko and Jasper, 2 male dolphins, came into the lagoon. The moms and babies stayed for few minutes before heading out. The boys stayed for 4 more hours! What a special time! More to come….

Stay tuned for more tales!

Adapt and transform

Mother Nature brought us a hot and steamy sunrise.  The color show was not the usual popping intensity but rather a subtle dash of pink and blue turning into a golden glow.  

The full moon was high in the dark sky 30 minutes before sunrise.  The closer it came to setting the softer and more translucent it became.  

This full moon is situated in the sky bringing us powerful energy to fuel our determination and also our awareness. 

The moon said, “I have the power to intensify your emotions and intuition.  Harness my energy to help you know what to let go of so you can move forward with ease.” 

A yellow crowned night heron looking for a crab breakfast added to the message saying, “I represent adaptability, intuition and transformation. I eat crabs whole, shell and all!  I am here to remind you how strong you are.  If this full moon is challenging, keep the faith, stay open to unexpected opportunities coming your way.” 

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Can you hear me now?

With Sahara dust and fog the morning felt extra cozy. The dust and light show mixed together bringing a variety of colors to the beauty. The dust coming from across the globe reminds us we are all connected.

Although the full moon was hidden behind the clouds, the lunar energy felt strong. The chatty flock of gulls was large today which may mean the winter gulls could return early this year.  

Wispy clouds added to the romantic and ethereal feel of the soothing sunrise. An osprey on a boat brings us the message of energy.  She said, “I’m not talking but I’m sending a message, can you hear me now? You see, much can be said without actually speaking.”

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Angel in the sky

WOW!  The colors and cloud shapes 30 minutes before sunrise were the star of the sunrise.  Can you see the angel on the left flying to the right?  The chatty flock flew in with wings and hearts open ready to connect. 

The soft wispy clouds, sweet colors, floating angel and gulls came together to remind us to keep our hearts and wings open to soak up the beauty all around.  

I’m off to do an Ocean Float, wishing you all a magical day!

Bird’s eye view to know just where to dive in!

The stillness of the morning brought us a serene start to the day.  30 minutes before sunrise Jupiter was visible in the sky with just a few soft pink clouds.

A chatty flock flew in early for bath time and connection.  As the sun came up it looked like a golf ball being teed up ready for the long fly down the fairway. 

Ospreys flew down the beach in the same flight pattern, spaced apart like a busy airport.  One looking at the fish I was near brings us the message today.  

He said, “I’m here to remind you to float above your current situation and get the bird’s eye view.  You see, a broader perspective can give you new information and help you know just where to to dive in.” 

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

New beginnings come by releasing the past

A boisterous frog choir filled the air waves as I walked to the beach. Pink and white wispy clouds filled with sky transporting us to another world. 

Low tide brought another reflective sunrise giving us a heart opening vibe. A chatty flock flew in early to grab a bath and hang out.  Perfect waves rolled toward shore with a strong current, hoping just a few pelicans. 

After sunrise A squirrel and a mourning dove on the roof came together to bring us our message of the day.  The squirrel chirped, “I’m here to remind you to let go, no need to hoard your nuts or anything else for that matter.  Trust there is enough.”

The dove said, “I’m a message of new birth, freedom and hope.  Together the squirrel and I encourage letting go so you can be free.  Let the new beginnings come by releasing the past.”

Wishing you a every beautiful day friends!

safety is a super power

As I walked to the beach I could see Jupiter and Mars in the sky surrounded by a picturesque sky. 

When I reached the ocean, the flock of gulls were already gathered ready to get squeaky clean.  The pre sunrise sky filled with pink fluffy clouds reflecting on the wet sand.  

As the sun came up, the color theme switched to a gorgeous golden glow filling the air with warmth and hope. The wet sand brought us another reflective and stunning artful masterpiece.  

After sunrise a mom and baby dolphin were in the lagoon.  They bring us the message of nurturing, safety and play.  The calf said, “My mom is very nurturing and makes sure I am safe.  This combination gives me the courage to be my unique self, relax and play.  Providing safety really is a super power.” 

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Lulls are purposeful

A refreshingly cool layer of fog hovered above the shore before the sunrise.  Other worldly looking clouds on the horizon soaked up the pastel colors. 

Wet sand reflected the majestic sunrise giving us another heart expanding start to the day.  Light ray jetted out of the clouds giving us a hopeful vibe.  

Surfers waited in the calm and silky ocean brining us the message of enjoying the lull between waves. The waves said, “We encourage you not to confuse the serenity between waves as boredom.  You see, the quiet time is purposeful.  It’s a time to reflect and rest so you are ready to catch the next wave.” 

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Be open to shifts that help you soar higher

Wow, the sunrise was spectacular!  The sun came up snuggle between two clouds creating a light funnel jetting light into the blue sky. 

Perfect waves called to the surfers who came from every direction.  The ocean was peppered with surfers waiting on a ride.

3 swallow-tailed kites circled above just after sunrise.  This was a real treat, the first time seeing them at the beach.  They said, “We bring the message of trusting your intuition.  Use your inner GPS to follow the path that aligns with our true self. You’ll know because it will feel really good.” 

A dragonfly was flying between the kites adding to the message she said, “I’m here to encourage transformation, be open to any shifts that will guide you toward your life’s purpose.” 

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Even when you feel fragile, you are strong

With the absence of a breeze at first light the stillness was palpable.  The ocean was clam except for perfect waves rolling toward shore 2 at a time.  

Fluffy clouds formed the shape of an other world city hugging the sun as it came up to greet the day.  A chatty flock of gulls and a couple egrets flew in for breakfast as the sun came up. 

A sand dollar at the edge of the ocean brings us the message today.  It said, “I have many messages such as unity, abundance and strength.  I am here to remind you that even when you feel fragile, you are strong.  I am also a message of abundance of all kinds, reminding you to be open to blessings.” 

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Use your inner grace to flow

The morning started out dark and cozy with a wall of cotton ball clouds soaking up the pretty in pink pre sunrise glow.  A chatty flock flew in early ready to get squeaky clean in the warm ocean. 

When the sun came up, it lingered to give the ocean a kiss goodbye for the day.  Fishing boats headed out in hopes of catching snapper.

After sunrise while standing on the dock, an eagle ray (I think) glided by bringing us a the message of grace and fluidity. She said, “Whether I am glided under water or leaping into the air, I am here to encourage going with the current rather than fighting against it.  Harness the current and let the momentum carry you toward your heart’s desires.” 

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

When we feel safe we thrive

Ahhhhh, a pretty in pink first light color show along with a cool breeze gave us a fall like sunrise. A small flock of gulls flew in early with their wings and hearts open.

2 gulls said, “We are here to encourage lifting each other up. You see, we flock together to share the journey and we feel safer when we are together. When we feel safe we thrive.”

The sky art mirrored back on the still water was truly breathtaking. The mirror image of the swirly sky art added to the heart expanding vibe of the day.

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
