Find balance with relationships
Mother Nature brought us a soft and soothing sunrise to calm our nerves. A layer of light fog gently covered the shoreline while the almost new moon hung high the sky.
2 dolphins surfing the waves as they came from the north grabbed a wave right in front of me then poof they disappeared. The chatty flock flew in loud and ready for an extended bath time in the calm ocean.
The up coming new moon will be accompanied by a solar eclipse. The eclipse, flock and dolphins came together toe being us the message today.
Usually a new moon brings fresh starts, however this new moon eclipse is situated in the sky urging us to let go. It is encouraging us to find balance in our relationships. The dolphins said, “I recommend playing if the energy feels intense. Sure the waves of energy may feel big, so why not relax into them and surf the momentum.’
The gull jumping with the flock added, “Find flock mates that make you want to jump up and down! Joyful relationships are the way to go.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Hold hands as you navigate the waves
Mother Nature brought us a soothing start to the day with pastel colors and a hazy sunrise. The almost new moon was hanging in the sky as the chatty flock flew in to grab a bath and connect.
The ocean was calm once again. Sun drenched waves rolled toward shore calling to the surfers to come play. A pelican duo brings us the message of reaching out to your flock mate. Hold hands as you navigate the waves together. Life is fun with a wingman.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Still windy….rest day
Good Morning! As I look out the windy, it is still grey, windy and raining.
The skimmer, exhausted from life is taking a much needed rest. He said, "Sometimes life can make you feel a little flattened. Not to worry with a little help from the flock and friends, you'll be up, flying high in no time."
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
I'm working on the 2025 calendars....coming soon
Gorgeous Sunrise day before hurricane
Good Morning! This is calming video to start your day, showing the ever changing colors of the sunrise the day before hurricane Helene headed toward Florida.
Check out the flock showing how they use the wind to hang in place.
Wishing everyone safety and comfort!

use your imagination for new resources
The pre sunrise was extraordinary with a vibrant pink, gold and light blue color show filling the sky. The pink turned to dark red hinting at the rain coming.
The flock flew in early led by Pixar and One Legger. They used the wind to hang in place and connect.
The clouds on the horizon made a for a great cloud game! A golden heart appeared just after a yellow eyes cat breathing fire crossed in front of the sun. What do you see?
The flock and cloud game came together to bring us the message today. They said, “Use you imagination to help you use the resources near you. You see the wind is intense but if we harness it’s power we can hang in place. Think outside the box, you never know you might see something in a new light.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Golden heart in the cloud

Let Daily chores be meditative
A soft breeze came from the south making it possible for the flock of gulls to hang in place as the sun came up to greet the day. The gulls were full of vim and vigor, feeling extra chatty and engaging.
When the gulls are getting squeaky clean, they flap their wings with all their might to get the bugs and dirt off. Then they stand up tall, flapping their wings whooping off their beauty. They bring the message of daily self care and slowing it down to enjoy the moment, even with chores. Let the mundane everyday activities be meditative.
One Legger came used the wind to hang out close and connect while Buddy the herring gull squawked loudly. Buddy is quite the talker! He has a way of letting everyone know what he wants. We all enjoyed the sun coming up from behind the clouds as Pelican Highway floated along the shore. Truly a beautiful start to the day!
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Slowing it down
Bath time feels so good

Different perspective when you clean up the hard to reach places.
Ahhhhhhh, with a rain cloud to the south, the sky was clear allowing the sun to come unencumbered ready to shine bright.
The chatty flock flew in early showing off their fancy footwork. We enjoyed an extended sunny bath time then danced around the sun celebrating and soaking up some much needed vitamin D.
One of the gulls taking time to preen said, “I find it’s helpful to clean up in those hard to reach places. The bonus is it helps me see myself from a different perspective.’
Another gull tossing around seaweed looking for hidden treasures said, “I’m here to encourage trying new things. Explore your surroundings, toss things around, you never know what you might find.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Fishing Shenanigans
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Fishing Shenanigans
Ocean and Whisper, 2 male dolphins were at it again yesterday. In between rain, overcast skies, intense sunshine, waves and rain they were having a blast.
The current and wind is strong right now, the pelicans were using the wind to hang in place so they could line up just right to piece the water and catch a fish.
Redfish, mullet and snapper were the fish of choice. A few pelicans joined in the fun too! In between the fishing were long cat naps.
Stay tuned for more tales!

Stay open even when it’s stormy
Raindrops keep falling only head was the song in my head as a rain shower came 30 minute before sunrise. Huge rain clouds floated in every direction creating yellow and pink rain.
Wet sand reflected the dramatic beauty adding to the heart opening vibe.
The chatty flock flew in wet and loud. They said, “We highly recommend staying open even when things are stormy.”
Shortly after the sunrise, for a fleeting moment a perfect rainbow appeared. Like Katy Perry sings, “After a storm comes a rainbow.” The rainbow encourages us to hang in there, the storm will clear and things will feel better again.
Wishing you beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Incoming Dolphin Greeting
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Incoming Dolphin Greeting
I was in the lagoon when Ocean and Whisper swam in with 2 other male dolphins.
Both Ocean and Whisper came right over to say hello. This is Ocean chasing and catching a mullet right in front of the camera. When they weren't chasing fish they were relaxing with a few snuggles. More tales from the day coming soon.
Stay tuned for more tales!
Playful interactions lift all involved.
The morning started with a sweet pretty in pink glow accompanied by a refreshing breeze. A very chatty flock flew in when it was still dark. Pixar, a laughing gull was extra fun flying up close.
Although the sun stayed mostly hidden, the moon was bright in the sky still feeling powerful. As it was setting over the river a pod of dolphins came in to play and grab breakfast.
A young dolphin popped up waving her fin saying, “Expect unexpected connections. Be open to playful interactions, they have the ability to brighten the day of everyone involved.”
As I was photographing the dolphins, a turtle glided by with ease. She added, “Take it easy. Relax into the current and enjoy a gentle ride today.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Ride the flow
With a cool breeze the morning felt like fall is nearing. The huge full moon was bright in the sky as my feet hit the sand bringing an instant calm. The chatty flock of gulls, sand pipers, ruddy turnstones and royal terns were all ready for bath and self care time.
Gorgeous waves rolled toward shore soaking up the light as the sun came up to greet the day. Surfers were sprinkled all over the ocean waiting on the perfect ride.
A kayak surfer heading out brings us the message of knowing we are safe even thought a huge wave may be heading right for us.
Pelican Highway glided along the perfect waves saying, “You’ll feel it when the flow is carrying you. Relax and enjoy the ride. If you are in a lull, not to worry more energy waves are on the way.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode-Playful Male Dolphin - Swims by 2 times!
I was already in the lagoon when 2 male dolphin best friends swam in, Whisper and Ocean.
Ocean came over said hello then went to get a fish. As he swam to get a fish I was telling him how nice it was to see him and what a handsome boy he is. I talked to him for a few minutes before he returned, and zipped by. I thought after he swam by he was heading over toward Whisper but he circled back and came out of the water just a few feet away. Apparently he likes being called handsome...or mullet or both.
Stay tuned for more tales!
Let Go, surrender
Beautiful pink rays of light surrounded the setting moon and lit up the horizon just before sunrise. The chatty flock flew in early loud and proud ready to connect.
The powerful, partial lunar eclipse is underway. The moon brings us the message today. “I am full of energy so you may feel like you are hooked up to an electric outlet today. Like all full moons I am asking you to let go of what no longer serves you.”
”I’m situated in the sky bringing an extra nudge to let go of control and lean more into the flow of life. I admit, my energy is quite intense so I highly recommend grounding into nature, take time to unplug and rest.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Moon setting
Lean into your uniqueness
Mother Nature brought us an other worldly looking kind of sunrise using a mix of swirly and fluffy clouds along with every crayon in the box!
Huge, powerful emerald and white waves rolled toward shore calling to the pro surfers to come play.
A very large and chatty flock of gulls flew in early. The 2 One Legger’s were in the flock today. They are such great athletes. We are waiting to see if Peg, Hook and Tiger will return too. Fingers are crossed.
The gulls seem to be the most chatty this week. One Legger flew in hot, slamming on her brake and said, “Focus on your strengths. Sure we can all find something we wish was different, instead I highly recommend leaning into your uniqueness.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Walking on sunshine
One Legger braking :)
We are stronger together
With a layer of clouds hovering like a cozy blanket, it was really dark as I walked to the beach. I wasn’t sure we would have a sunrise, but Mother Nature said, “Patience Shelley, don’t rush a good thing.”
The golden sun came up from behind the wispy layer of fog and clouds bringing us a mystical kind of sunrise. Huge waves rolled toward shore sending out the call to surfers to come play. The waves were powerful creating almost a white ocean from the breaking waves.
A very large and chatty flock of gulls flew in early ready for bath time and connection. Photographing the gulls has given me a window into their world. They each have a unique personality, full of curiosity and a deep instinct for survival.
Today as the lifted up as a said, “We need each other for survival. Sure we biker and squawk at each other but we know we are stronger together.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode -Fishy Fly & Healing Time for a Male Dolphin
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode -Fishy Fly & Healing Time for a Male Dolphin
The weather cleared enough to have a couple hours in the lagoon. Fish were flying! Making the coolest sound when they hop across the water as one.
Jagger, a male dolphin came in with a younger dolphin who I call Artistio. Artistio got his name from the great art he creates with his tail splash.
Jagger is usually with Uncle Larry but he didn’t come in today. Jagger looks like he may have tangled with a shark from the cuts and wound to his rostrum. Dolphins are good healers so hopefully he will heal up soon.
He seemed in good spirits, enjoying a lot of relaxing time and closeness with the camera mixed with a few fish chases. Dolphins are good healers so hopefully he will heal up soon.
Stay tuned for more tales!

Hey buddy, you're not a salmon

You can see Jagger needs some healing time for his rostrum. (lower jaw)
Stretch to stay openhearted
Mother Nature brought us a hazy almost black and white pre sunrise. Once the sun came up from behind the clouds, a pinking gold color show filled the landscape. A soft breeze joined in the sunrise giving a soothing start to the day.
The flock of laughing gulls flew in early when it was still dark for an early bath time. One of the gulls said, “Stretch to stay open hearted. Join me, take a deep breath and let your wings drop so your heart can be seen.”
Pelican Highway traffic was heavy gliding mostly northbound over the big and beautiful waves feminine us to use the flow to carry us.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
