START WITH A WALK, THEN RUN THEN TAKE FLIGHT

Holy romantic sunrise Batman!  Mother Nature brought us another heart expanding start to the day with fluffy clouds along with a pink, orange and gold color palette.  With low tide, the beautiful painting reflected on the wet sand giving us double the pleasure.  

Loads of gulls flew in to enjoy the sunrise. Skimmers grabbed breakfast between the waves while the gulls got squeaky clean in the golden glow.

A flock of mergansers and a solo dolphin were in the lagoon after sunrise.  The mergansers return every year at this time and hang out for a couple months.  They are a type of duck and bring us the message today.  

They said, “Us ducks know when to paddle around and when to take flight. If you are a little nervous about taking flight, follow our lead.  We start like we are walking, then running while flapping our wings to take off.”

 “It’s a process, so be gentle with yourself, you’ll be soaring before you know it.  And we highly recommend taking flight with a flock mate, it’s fun to share the experience.” 

Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
