We’ve had humpback whales off Avila Beach for weeks. We took a couple evening to walk along the ocean and look for them–and we say lots of backs and tales and spouts, but no jumping. So many of our friends had seen them jumping up out of the water to feed. We went back for lunch at Avila Beach and spent some time watching for them in the early afternoon and we finally saw a few pop their heads out of the water. It was amazing! So fun to whale watch from the shore.
It’s Monday and we’re greeting a new week. We’ve been busy with summer fun and work craziness. I’m not sure we’re ready to jump into another week but ready or not, here we go!
***Hello Monday is where I greet the new week with an open heart and a fresh perspective. It’s a new beginning–and there’s so much to be thankful for! Join me by leaving your own hellos in the comments section or linking up a hello monday post there!***
Hello palm trees, ocean breezes and blue skies. It’s so beautiful where we live. We try to take time to enjoy it as much as we can!
Hello pelicans above us and diving into the ocean to feed. So cool!
Hello to feeling afraid. Matthias was worried about the stability of the pier. There were so many people out there whale watching. A couple days later, they closed the pier to make sure it was structurally sound. So maybe his fears were well founded!
Hello to hugs and cuddles from a dear friend. Love is a beautiful thing.

Hi Lisa,
My Name is Kaidee Weaver, I am from John Day, Or. I love the jewelry that you create. I was wondering if you ever take a special request? My daughter Fallon is wanting just a simple silver heart with the chain going through it. I have a picture I could send you. Just wanted to check and see if it would be possible. Thank you, Kaidee
