Healing takes time
The sunrise was for the birds today! So many birds!
Soft fluffy clouds were floating along at a pretty good pace thanks to the strong wind. When the sun came up to greet the day it sent out light beams through the clouds adding to the awe inspiring beauty.
The flock flew in at their usual time and used the wind to hover in place. Other flocks were flying high above, using the thermals to carry them with ease. The gulls said, “We bring the message of perspective. If you need a fresh view, fly higher of lower to see things differently.”
Tiger the Heermann’s gull, our celebrity bird from Baja was in the flock, also embracing the wind. Buddy the herring gull was showing off his dance moves to a laughing gull. It looked like he was doing the Hokey Pokey. He said, “Dance like no-one is watching.”
After sunrise about 10 pelicans were in the lagoon grabbing snacks. Pip the pelican was among them! He hasn’t been feeling good this week so I was happy to see him fishing. He’s the one who had a filleted sheepshead stuck in his gullet almost a year ago. As you can see, his neck is a bit different then the other pelicans.
He said, “I’ve learned healing takes time. Some days are better than others. I do my best to embrace it all, knowing each day is different. My secret is, I hang with comforting friends and rest to feel better.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
