Rainbow inspires hope
Mother Nature brought us a gorgeous sunrise. The sky filled with incredible pastel colors when the flock flew in to connect and grab a bath.
Pelican Highway floated southbound, letting the current from the waves carry them with ease.
As we were getting squeaky clean, a rainbow appears to the north. Rainbows speak directly to our hearts and soul bringing us hope. The rainbow inspires us to hold onto our faith and visions of our hearts desires. It reminds us that any troubles will fade away as new beginnings emerge.
Wishing you a magical day friends!

Stand tall and soak up the magic
Thank you for your support!
The wind had a bit of a chill to it this morning brining us a wintry kind of sunrise. The pre sunrise sky filled with a stunning pink glow just as the flock flew in to spend the sunrise together.
The sun was slow to emerge but when it did, the warmth and golden glow felt amazing.
They were extra cute using the wind to hang in place and connect. The sweet flock and I want to take the opportunity to say how grateful we are for your support. Thank you for being a part of the our flock, sharing the beauty and love.
Wishing you a day filled with inner peace and love!

Show off your nuts to inspire others
With a ceiling of fluffy clouds the morning started off very cozy. A colorful glow crept out from under the clouds, building in intensity as the sun came up to greet the day.
The chatty flock flew in early with wings and hearts open ready to get squeaky clean. Waves rolled toward shore soaking up the golden glow.
On my way off the beach I ran into a squirrel who was in the mood for a photoshoot and a long chat. He said, “I’m here to remind you to bite off more than you can chew then share your success with a friend. Showing off your nuts can inspire others, help them know they can do it too!”
Wishing you an abundant day friends!

Physical touch is healing
The air was humid and salty as I walked to the beach. A chatty flock was waiting when I arrived, hanging in place courtesy of the wind.
One of the laughing gulls was hanging just to the right of the sun reminding us to relax into the moment. She said, “I take a deep breath and let my legs hang with ease. It helps my overall well being relax and let go of stress.”
Mother Nature brought us a beautiful color show starting with a sweet pink, shifting to an intense bronze beauty act the sun came up to greet the day.
After sunrise, a large pod of dolphins came into the lagoon for a a little snuggle time. They bring the message of physical touch. They said, “Touch is a powerful way to feel connected and loved. Just a little bit goes a long way to improve our mood.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Sunrise Snuggles
Hugs and goofing around
Good Morning!
I’m away from the sunrise today and will be away every now and then to help a pod mate. I thought sharing a dolphin catching a quick hug from a pelican and 2 dolphins goofing around would be a great way to start your day.
Wishing you a hugging kind of playful day friends!

Eating healthy keeps you strong and zippy
Yipppeeeeee! The sunshine is back, strong and powerful. The flock of gulls flew in very chatty with wings and hearts open, soaking up the sun while lifting each other up.
The ocean temperature was a bit chilly but bath time was great. One of t the birds said he wanted to be a referee for football so he was practicing his poses.
Another bird reunion too! Hook the laughing gull is back for the winter. This is her 4th or 5th winter hanging with the flock in New Smyrna Beach. She is resilient and super cute and as you can see loves to pose.
A sandpiper stopped by to bring us the message of slowing down to eat healthy. She said, “Normally I’m a very fast bird. I know when to walk, when to run and when to fly. You have those instincts too! Sure it’s easier to eat on the fly but slowing it down to have a healthy meal keeps me strong and zippy.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Open hearts and wings
Hook is back for another winter in New Smyrna Beach
The field goal is goooood!
Getting squeaky clean with friends is fun!

Unique sunrise messengers
Good Morning! We have moved from gray and rain to moody blues with rain, hoping to see the sunrise again Saturday.
I thought I'd share a couple of the most unique sunrise messengers I've seen over the years, a coyote and a snake, both taking in the sunrise.
The first coyote was hungry and looking for food as you can see by the sand on his nose. The second coyote was watching the surfers for a long time until he turned around and I snapped his photo.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Hugs and Kisses
It's still overcast and raining....supposed to have the sunrise back Saturday. Thought starting the day with manatee hugs and kisses would be nice.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Spontaneous play to shift your mood
It's still overcast with a 100 shades of grey here in sunny Florida so thought I'd share a fun post.
Dolphins love to play with nature's toys - such as leaves, mangrove seeds and cannonball jellyfish. They remind us to break into a few moments of spontaneous play to shift our mood.
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Overcast bird yoga
We are having a fifty shades of grey sunrise....thought I'd share the beauty of pelicans at sunrise.
Starting the day with a little morning yoga, soaking up a rainbow and surfing the waves to get the day started.
Have a beautiful day friends!
pretty in pink play time
Good Morning! I'm away from the sunrise....thought a few pretty in pink, sunrise dolphin playing would be a nice way to start the day.
Wishing you a playful day friends!
Rusty the Pelican must be Pip’s cousin
Good Morning! I’m away from sunrise but wanted to hare a tales from the lagoon featuring Rusty the pelican.
Tales from the lagoon ~ Rusty the Pelican Taste Testing
Rusty was super cute today. He stayed for several hours, hanging out on a pole, then in the water with the dolphins hoping for a fish.
He decided to search for food and taste test all the floating debris in the water. He picked things up, swished them around and spit them out.
He used to hang out with Pip the Pelican, so I think that's where he picked up the twirl. They are the only 2 pelicans I've seen do the twirl.
Pip used to talk by exhaling so I thought I'd see if Rusty could do it too. I exhaled several times showing him what it sounds like. He tried! The only way he could make the sound was to put his head down and exhale.
If you want to hear Pip talk, check out the short video below.

Have a great day!
TGIF!
Balance with alone time and the flock
Venus and the almost new moon were illuminated by first light as I walked to the beach. A soft and salty breeze felt good in my lungs.
The flock was already at the edge of the ocean ready for bath time. Tiger, the Heermann’s gull was showing off how beautiful he is after getting the bugs off.
Pelican Highway brings us the message today. They said, “Sometimes it feels good to be on the highway alone, feeling the wind in our feathers. Quiet time gives us the opportunity to go within and know ourselves with more clarity.”
“Other times we enjoy being a part of pace line, helping each other navigate the currents. Being a part of a team can help us reach our destination with more ease. Not to worry, you will know when to take alone time and when to flock together.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

A frozen moment in time
Pretty in pink egrets
Fresh starts in love, passion and beauty
Ahhhhh, a sweet and serene sunrise with the absence of a breeze and calm ocean. Venus and the almost new moon were very close together having a conversation.
The powerful combo of Venus along with the almost new moon brings fresh starts with love passion and beauty. The powerful combo ask us to embrace love in all ways, starting with yourself then streaming outward.
The flock flew in adding to the massage saying, “Now is the time to open your hearts and wings. Join us in being the love you want to see in the world.”
Pelican Highway traffic was jamming, heading southbound while sand pipers and ruddy turnstones scurried on the beach.
Rootie Tootie, a ruddy turnstone stopped to say, with the moon and Venus energy feeling strong, it may be best to go one step at a time. Just put one foot in front of the other, keep moving, you got this.”
Wishing you a beautiful day frilled with love!

The sun giving an extra long kiss goodbye
balance with fierceness and zen moments
Mother Nature brought us a serene and lovely morning with a gorgeous golden orange color show. The sweet flock flew in well before the sun came up with their wings and hearts open ready to connect.
Bath time was really fun as they flapped their wings getting the bugs off. They said, “We are here to remind how a few minutes of self care a day can support your immune system. Join us in getting those pesky bugs off.”
One Legger striking her power pose brings us the message of the day. She said, “To stay strong I make sure to have balance with my fierceness along with moments of zen. You see, taking in the sunlight with a moment of quiet can do wonders to keep me healthy.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Strut your stuff!
WOWIE! From start to finish the sunrise was incredibly heart opening, awe inspiring and mind altering. The ceiling of soft clouds soaked up the breathtaking colors, changing by the minute.
The flock flew in early and were even more chatty and spunky than usual. They stayed for bath time and to watch the sun come up.
Tiger the Heermann’s gull was in the flock of laughing gulls. He brings us the message of confidence.
He said, “Sure, in some ways I’m different than the other gulls and that can be intimidating when I’m out numbered. I’ve learned to step into my uniqueness and strut my stuff. What I know is, all us birds have a unique essence and it’s a great thing to show it off, maybe even inspire someone be embracing our individual traits.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode- Show and Tell
Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode- Show and Tell
Charley, M and another dolphin came in after sunrise for some snuggle and sushi time. I’m certain who the 3rd dolphin was because he has a split dorsal fin. The three of them were very sweet and snuggly today.
When they weren’t hugging they were whooshing by the camera and grabbing snacks. M grabbed a fish behind me close to the mangroves when I said, “Show me your fish?!”
He popped up with his fish, then stayed up, going super slow motion to show off his pearly whites and the tail of a fish. Love those boys!
Stay tuned for more tales!

Stay open and ready to leap
With a slight breeze and no clouds to hide from, the sun came up big and bright, kissing the ocean as it left for the day.
The very cute and chatty flock flew in hot and ready for bath time before the sun came up. They stayed to watch the sunrise along with a couple egrets.
The egrets were quite talkative. They said, “We bring the message of being grounded, you see we have skinny legs and know the importance of being fully present so we feel solid but also ready to take action at any moment. And look how pretty we are with our wings and hearts open.”
So many laughing gulls are back for the winter. Soon the herring gulls will be here too! One of the laughing gulls needs a name. She is very sweet and engaging, and has left foot that isn’t healthy. Despite her leg issues she is very resilient. Thanks for any suggestions!
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
