Curiosity to expand your horizons
The fog is still thick this morning, keeping the sun hidden. Around 6:00 am while sipping my coffee, enjoying the stillness of the fog I heard coyotes howling across the river which inspired todays photos.
On this day, a surfer was coming down the beach. From a distance he looked like he had a dog walking next to him. Once closer, it was a coyote trotting next to him on the way to the waves.
The coyote continued to be curious about the surfers, watching from the beach. He said, “I’m here to remind you to be curious. Sniff around to see what you might find. Take in new experiences to broaden your horizons.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
Safe place to land is fun!
This morning the sunrise was fifty shades of grey. While hanging with the flock they started landing on my head out of the blue. So much fun to feel their little feet on my head. Have a fun day!

The river was rough with the wind whipping. The conditions seem to inspire a little snuggle and smooch time. Enjoy the lovefest.

Listen to your dreams, visions and intuition
Soft rays of pink light streamed into the sky 30 minutes before the sun came up from behind the clouds. With a wet salty layer of fog the morning felt cozy and quiet.
The flock of laughing gulls flew in just before sunrise for bath time. So good to see them again! Pixar flew right over to say god morning and strike a pose.
The sun came up from the behind a mushroom shaped cloud burning off the fog and bringing warmth.
After sunrise while I was on the dock a loon popped up to say hello! She said, “I’m here to encourage you to listen to your intuition, dreams and visions. Listen for guidance, even the tiniest of whispers can open a door for you.”
“I’m also a messenger of tranquility and peace, letting you know the rough waters are behind you, relax and enjoy!”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Open and ready for change
Rain drops keep falling on my head….the sun will come out tomorrow…
It was raining as my feet hit the sand. I was able to snap a photo of the moon at 5am before the clouds covered it up. The moon brings us the message today.
The man in the moon said, “I am situated in the sky asking you to be open minded and flexible. Ride the waves, ready to carry you forward."
"Full moons bring us endings, doors may be closing now, so new openings can emerge. Use my energy to help you let go of anything you no longer need, starting the new year off feeling lighter, ready for change.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Full Moon Chillin’
Usually I witness the dolphins jumping and snuggling during a full moon but today was all about relaxation with a few snacks.
Ocean and Whisper came in to relax. Ocean stayed for 3 hours while Whisper popped in out. Daniko and Jasper cruised in to grab a fish and leave like a convince store.
Ocean enjoyed teasing the pelicans a bit and grabbing a fish every now and then, but really seemed to enjoy the calm water and less wind after the touch conditions the past few days.
Stay tuned for more tales!

Full Moon with an osprey
Good Morning! Luna the osprey and I felt the same way this morning about the energy of the full moon...just 5 more minutes please.

Dolphin Sunset
The wind was whipping with rain looming so decided to post a dolphin sunset to get your day started. Wishing you a playful day friends!

Tales from the lagoon ~ Episode - Snuggles and Snacks
What A day! With whipping wind, and white caps, that didn’t deter the dolphin from enjoying themselves.
The day started with Jagger and Uncle Larry along with 2 other dolphins I know but not well. Uncle Larry and Jagger came and went but the other two stayed for quality time and to get to know each other. More from them later.
Bald eagles are returning to the area for winter. They have the osprey screaming bloody murder as they fight for their territory.
Dolphins were coming and going grabbing fish then leaving. At one point a maternity pod stopped in with Charley and M who said hello then headed across the river to fly out of the water! Too far to snap but what a show! After the air time they headed back to where I was for more snuggles!

Float above your situation for bird’s eye view
It was an Amazing Grace kind of sunrise this morning like yesterday. With fluffy clouds in the sky when the sun came up the beams of light streamed through the clouds looking like it was raining light.
Truly a heart opening morning full of promise. The flock of gulls stayed low to the ground, resting fro the wind. Pelican Highway traffic flew high in the sky using the thermals to carry them toward their destination.
On the way off the beach I heard an osprey screaming, it’s a scream that indicated a bald eagle is in the area. Sure enough, an immature bald eagle and osprey were having words high in the sky.
They are both birds of prey who soar high in the sky surveying where to go next. They bring us the message of getting a broader perspective. They said, “Float above your situation to see all the moving parts. This way you will have more information about your next move.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

A different angle can give new perspective
WOWIE! This was one of the best light shows I have ever seen! It was slow to start but once it got going the streaming sunbeams were extraordinary.
The wind was whipping churning up the ocean and sending sand flying down the beach. A large and chatty flock of gulls showed up to get squeaky clean despite the cold and wind.
As the flock hovered in the wind, I got below them and looked up. They said, “A different angle can give you a new perspective. Seeing people, places and things from a different viewpoint can provide new information.”
They also surprised me by getting squeaky clean in the cold conditions. They said, “Self care isn’t always convenient but it is necessary to stay healthy. We know daily bath time is part of thriving.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Color outside the lines
With spitting rain and a heavy layer of clouds keeping things cozy, the morning felt like a mix of other worldly and romantic.
The chatty flock flew in early for bath time, making sure to get squeaky clean before the cold front comes through. Pelican Highway traffic was light stopping often for snacks at the rest stops.
Mother Nature brought us a colorful sunrise bringing us the message to use every crayon in the box. "Go ahead, color outside the lines, mix and match colors, let your creativity flow."
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Good morning! Mother Nature brought us another stunning sunrise, using fluffy clouds and vibrant colors. The pre sunrise was extra quiet with a heart opening pink and purple sky.
After a few minutes the chatty gull alarm clock flew in to squawk in the sunrise. Our message today comes for a sun drenched male cardinal who said, “Us males are very colorful, reminding you to step into your boldness. Go ahead, let your beautiful true colors shine bright for the world to see.”
He went on to say, “I am also the messenger that your angel loved ones are near. Especially at this time of year, I’m a reminder to that you are not alone, they are watching over you with so much love.”
Wishing you a e beautiful day friends!

In this momentum, Imagine the waves carrying you r forward
Wow! I could see first light before I walked to the beach. Clouds in the shape of bands soaked up all the pastels with a soft light hinting at the magic about to unfold.
When I reached the beach there were hundreds of birds at the edge of the shore resting from their migration to a warmer climate.
The sun came up from behind the clouds while sailboats gently cruised on the horizon. A dolphin pod came from the left surfing the waves. One surfed in front of the channel marker remind us to look for guideposts to know when to take action. She said, “If you are having trouble finding the markers, lean into your intuition, you inner knowing is a built in guidepost.”
The 4 dolphins surfing encourage play while rolling with the momentum of the waves. “Let the waves be fun! Right now, as you read this, imagine feeling the waves carry you toward your heart’s desires.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

asking for help is good for everyone
Ahhhh a serene Sunday sunrise. The pre sunrise light was a soft bronze glow. The chatty flock flew in with wings and hearts open ready to for a new day.
The sun came up sending rays of light into the sky illuminating the shrimp boats sprinkled on the horizon.
A huge flock of birds gathered at the edge of the shore. There was quite a variety of birds including skimmers.
Skimmers are cool birds, the bottom beak is longer than the top, so they can scoop up fish as they fly. One of the skimmers had bands on his legs. After a google search, it appears he is most likely from North Carolina!
He brings the message of the day. He said, “It’s true I was in the hospital to get much needed help. I’m a reminder that sometimes we need support and assistance to keep flying. The special part of my stay was I could see it made the nice people happy to help, a win-win for all of us.”
Wishing you a restful day friends!

Skimmer wear a band- after a google search may be from North Carolina
Ground in to stay strong
Fist light was sweet with a hint of gold before adding a bit of pink. The close the sun came to rising, the more the sky filled with a golden glow. A chatty flock flew in ready for bath time.
So many kinds of gulls have arrived, ready to rest. They said, “We flock together to sleep, knowing there is safety when we come together. We thank you for not running into us while we restore our strength.”
One Legger leaned in to bring the message of the day. He said, “You can see from my power stance that being grounded is how how I stay strong. Lean into your strengths to feel solid and ready for what life throws at you.”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!

Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode- A Close Up with Momma and her calf River.
The wind and white caps hasn't seemed to deter the dolphins at all, in fast I think they are enjoying it! I've seen them surfing the swells and enjoying the rough conditions.
This is Momma and the second calf of hers I have met. Baby River is a female, and loves to be silly. Momma is a great mom, attentive, sweet and a great fisher girl!
Stay tuned for more tales!
To view sunrise posts and flying dolphins from last couple days- go back to previous posts - My apologies for being tardy in getting these posted.
Opportunities can come quickly
Ahhhh, the wind relaxed, gifting us a calm sunrise painted with gorgeous autumn colors. A flock of birds arrived, their reflections shimmering on the wet sand, while Pelican Highway traffic steadily headed southbound.
As the sun rose higher, the flock seemed to receive a collective message that breakfast awaited just past the waves.
In a swift, synchronized swoosh, they took off, their flight a mix of organized chaos. Diving and darting, they snatched their snacks while squawking loudly about their good fortune.
They said, “We are here to remind you that life can change in an instant. If you're in a lull, don’t worry—opportunities often arise when you least expect them. Stay open, stay ready, and take action when the moment comes!”
Wishing you a beautiful day friends!
