Shark Sunrise
I never want to inspire fear, especially about sharks, they were so beautiful this morning and not interested in my toes or ankles.
At one point 3 swam by together, that was a first for me, usually I see them solo.
Watching them glide through the water felt so serene. Relax, glide, go with the flow.
Spontaneity to keep life fresh
Inhale, Exhale, Repeat.
Another beautiful start to the day with expansive sky art courtesy of fluffy clouds and heart opening colors.
A small flock flew in before sunrise but didn’t stay long. Sharks played in the waves looking for breakfast while light traffic on Pelican Highway flew southbound.
A pelican couple on the highway gave a good stretch mid flight showing how graceful they are.
Two dolphins rolled around in the waves further out. When one popped up, he said, “Spontaneity is a great way to keep life fresh.”
Several egrets were hunting for breakfast as the waves rolled in. An egret with her wings spread said, “I’m a reminder to dance with with your wings and her open.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

A different angle can bring a new perspective
As I walked to the beach a frog chorus was singing loudly. The sky was filled with a soft pink before the sun came up bringing with a golden glow.
So much wildlife this morning! A manatee floated by in the ocean and was surrounded by 2 sharks. Those 2 sharks were joined by several more who were also looking for breakfast.
The flock of gulls flew in later than usual and were feeling extra frisky lifting up in front of the sun with our message for the day. “We bring the message of perspective. Sometimes it helps to look at things from a different angle to get new information or inspiration.”
“We also recommend leaning back with your wings and heart open to soak up the sunlight. It will keep you feeling light and hopeful.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from The Lagoon ~ Episode - Redfish, Flounder and Snook!
This post was inspired by the fishing vibe the past couple days with 48 hour snapper season happening.
A friend on Instagram has counted how many types of fish the dolphin have posed with over the years. I think we are up to 17!
They also play with toys found in nature....I'll post those one day soon. Never gets old hanging with my flippered friends!
Stay tuned for more tales!

Lift up to see bigger picture
The morning started off dark and cozy with fluffy clouds soaking up the pastel colors before the sun came up to free the day. The flock of chatty gulls flew in to enjoy bath time and connection.
Sharks looked for breakfast in the waves. While I was photographing the waves a gorgeous red shouldered hawk flew in and landed on a pole also looking for breakfast.
The shark and hawk bring us a combo message. The shark said, “I’m here to encourage taking action, swim forward to create opportunities.”
The hawk said, “I agree with the shark about taking action. And I would add to pay attention to messages and signs to know how and when to take action. Go ahead, spread your wings, let the energy lift you up to see the bigger picture.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Confidence is the new sexy
WOW! Mother Nature brought us a sultry start to the sunrise with a gorgeous dark and cozy start to the sunrise. The clouds soaked up every color adding to the heart expanding vibe.
A chatty flock of gulls flew in for bath time along with a couple egrets. Surfers were also flocking to he ocean to catch a wave. As the waves rolled in they were also soaking up the amazing light show.
An osprey was gliding above looking for snacks. It took her a couple of attempts before scoring breakfast. She brought it to a nearby pole to rest and eat.
Looking very proud and confident she said, “Strutting your stuff is a good thing. You see, confidence is how I am able to dive over and over again and not feel defeated. So go ahead, work it, own it.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

A Quick Hello!
Tales from the Lagoon~ Episode - A Quick Hello!
The dolphin I call M and his friend were snuggling just a few feet away when M pops up to say hello. The boys were extra cute the passed couple days, stay tuned for more.
Relax and trust the timing
Mother Nature created beautiful sky art today with fluffy clouds and using all the crayons in the box. The ocean was more active today, churning out some great surfing waves. The surfers answered the call and were coming out of every nook and cranny to catch a ride.
A chatty flock of gulls flew in early and we went straight for bath time while Pelican Highway was jamming southbound.
The highway brings us the message of riding the energy of flow. They said, “Not to worry if you can’t find your flow, another wave will be along just when you need it. Relax and trust the timing.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Plan, Recharge, then Leap!
Before the sun came up the sky was full of huge fluffy clouds, soaking up the pastel colors. A face appeared in one of the clouds and stayed for a long while.
The almost new moon was high in the sky surrounded by soft clouds. In general, the energy of the new moon can be felt 3 days before and after.
The new moon said, “The way I am situated in the sky may have you feeling more emotional. Trust what you feel and let the feelings guide you forward. I’m here to encourage you to go inward, plan, recharge and be open to beginning a new chapter.
Fish were jumping everywhere! One of the fish flying out of the water said, “I know what it is like to feel like a small fish in a big ocean but that doesn’t stopping me from flying. Come on, let’s leap!”

Snapper weekend…..gone fishin’

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode- Dolphin, Osprey and Manatees, Oh My!
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode- Dolphin, Osprey and Manatees, Oh My!
July and August tend to be a little less dolphin action so in the past week I had just a little interaction with my flippered friends.
One of the male dolphins I know well grabbed a little snapper (I think) and swam by nice and slow so I could snap his photo with his catch.
An osprey flew in, landing on a boat at the dock which was perfect spot to look for snacks.
So many manatees! At least 8 manatees sauntered by looking for a nice place to stop and rest.
Stay tuned for more tales!
Thursday sunrise is previous post
Use your Sensitivity and intuition to guide you forward
It was another serene and wonderful sunrise with so many sweet colors. The pre sunrise sky filled with a deep pink as the flock of gulls flew in to say hello.
The waves soaked up the light creating beautiful art. Pelican Highway traffic was heavy flying in both directions. They were gliding above the waves letting the energy carry them down the shore with ease.
A pretty large stingray was hanging out on the sandbar in the waves. She said, “I’m very sensitive and trust what I feel to help me know what to do next."
"Sometimes I need to take cover to rest and keep safe, other times I need to move forward quickly. I’m a reminder to trust your intuition to guide you forward.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Play can give you more zest
Mother Nature used the swirly paint brush filling the sky with soft fluffy brush strokes soaking up the beautiful colors.
The cloud shapes were breathtaking! Tell me what you see? A condor, an eagle, OR?
The ocean was calm except for perfect waves rolling in close to shore. Sharks and tarpon were hanging out close to the beach while the dolphins were further out hunting breakfast.
Before the sun came up, a dolphin leaped out of the water! I was following him as he was chasing fish then all of sudden, pop goes the dolphin. He said, “ I bring the message of taking time to play! Be spontaneous! Play can shift your mood and the energy, giving you more zest in your step.”
Wishing you a playful day friends!
Condor, eagle? or?

Attract with Love
AHHHH, Mother Nature brought us a reflective day using the wet sand to give us a mirror image of the sky. The reflective clouds on the wet sand were mesmerizing. A light breeze and very calm ocean added to the serene vibe.
A flock of gulls flew in with their wings and hearts open. They said, “We are here to remind you that as you stay open you can lift up with ease.”
A flock of egrets and gulls flew in to look for snacks in the tide pool. They said, “We highly recommend slowing it down and let yourself fall deeper in love with your reflection. You see, loving yourself is a great way to attract to you, all that your heart desires!”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

90 seconds of Inspiration
Oh what an amazing experience this was. Myself and several others were lucky enough to witness this momma return to the ocean after laying her eggs. This is a 90 second video, covering 25 minutes of her journey. What a gift to witness her strength, patience and stamina. If you click the wheel at the bottom right corner of video and choose HD, the video will look better.

Don’t Rush, says Momma Turtle
Oh Happy Day!
There was a lovely bronze and pink sunrise with a what looked like a group of people congregating at the bottom of the sun.
I only snapped a few photos of the sunrise because a beautiful Momma Turtle was trekking back to the ocean after laying her eggs. Seeing a Momma Turtle at sunrise is always a heart opening, amazing experience.
About half way back to the ocean an egret flew over to her as if to say, “I’m with you Momma, you are not alone on this trek. Then a few more came over and she was surrounded by egrets!
At one point she turned her head and looked right at the camera for about 20 seconds. My heart melted feeling her and connecting in that moment. The person next to me said, ‘She knows you are taking her photo!”
She said, “I am reminder of taking your time, no need to rush. It’s true walking on land is challenging for me and I must go easy. Listen to your body and move forward at the pace that is best for you. Not to worry, what is meant for you will never pass you by.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
PS~. I added more of this sweet momma to my turtle gallery if you want to check it out. She is the first 6 photos.

Twirl and savor the moment
Mother Nature was showing off today bringing us a gorgeous and serene sunrise. As I walked to the beach I saw a cloud shape resembling a bird soaring across the sky. It made me think Pip the Pelican was letting us know he is good. I’m certain he would remind us to twirl to keep the joy flowing.
The ocean temperature was warm and felt soft as the waves rolled by. The waves were having fun, splashing and creating lovely water art.
Lots of fish and few sharks were grabbing breakfast in the waves. The shark said, “There are many opportunities all around, stay focused and take action when you feel inspired. Trust your gut to know when to strike.”
A beautiful egret was grabbing breakfast in the tide pool. She said, “I’m a reminder to slow down, stay grounded to savor the moment. You see, this moment is creating your next moment, so being fully here right now will help you manifest your heart’s desires.”
Within you a gorgeous day!

This is from a very overcast sunset a couple nights ago. M, a male dolphin swam by this kayaker kicking it and left behind his shape in the water. I’ve seen a lot of dolphin art, but never their shape. :)
Let the flow support you
With a refreshing breeze, calm ocean and sweet colors, Mother Nature brought us a restorative sunrise.
The ocean waves rolling toward shore were soaking up the sparkly light while the clouds hugged the moon with a warm embrace.
Tide pools offered the gulls a calm place for bath time and created a nice photo opportunity too.
After sunrise, eddy the pelican flew over to say hello! I hadn’t seen him in weeks so this was a lovely surprise. It was like we never missed a day as he paddled around in circles saying hello. He brings the message of sweet and spontaneous connections showing up to bring a smile.
He also said as he glided by, “Us pelicans know how to use the wind to carry us with ease. The key is to align with the energy and let the flow support you.”
Wishing you a day in the flow friends!
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Rainy Day Fun!
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Rainy Day Fun!
These photos are from a few weeks ago on a day when it was raining on and off with overcast skies but the party was too fun to miss.
A pod of male dolphins including Cutter and Charlie, came in to play along with 15 pelicans. The pelicans were scorning mullet like professional athletes. The dolphins were good sports not getting frustrated with the big birds hovering and diving on top of them.
Always fun to watch them interact and grab snacks!
Stay tuned for more tales!
Teasing the pelicans tossing up a fish to get it down head first. I’m certain the dolphin was giggling

One step at a time
Mother Nature brought us a serene pastel sunrise using the wet sand to create an expansive, masterful painting. The ocean was calm like a lake adding to the serene vibe.
The ocean temperature was warm and felt soft as the gentle waves rolled by close to shore. The moon was lit up like a glowing ball high in the sky.
After sunrise I ran into a green heron who brings us the message today. He said, “When the path is uphill and a little slippery, take it one step at a time. Putting one foot in front of the other, nice and easy, will give you solid footing to reach the top.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
