This chap has just won COAST magazine dog of the month for Jan. 2018. COAST MAGAZINE. He is my Beach Buddy... here are some more of him. |
 |
| Sometimes it's all too much. |
 |
| At Seaham. |
 |
| Here he is a few years back. He becomes much darker if his fur grows. BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| An after work visit. It was soon dark. Was saddened to hear about a Seal seen on the Headland at the weekend with a line around it's neck. The seal returned to the water before help arrived. On Sunday a Whale was seen near Longscar rocks at Seaton Carew tangled in ropes the RNLI attended but it returned to the deep still tangled. BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| Another early start on a bright and chilly day. |
 |
| I stood and waited for the Sun to appear. |
 |
| i love walking towards Sunrises and late Summer Sunsets. |
 |
| Sunrise sea glass. |
 |
| I often wonder what finds are and where they are from. |
 |
| I headed to Middleton Beach |
 |
| Tiny Glass bead. |
 |
| Across to Seaton Carew. |
 |
| Middleton Bank top is a dumping ground! |
 |
| Today's finds. BEACHBUOY. |
 |
| Arrived about 8-20a.m. ; a bit later than usual but as high tide was around 7 a.m. I waited to give the tide a chance to turn a little and widen the dog walking corridor. |
 |
| The air was clear and cold. |
 |
| The receding Sea left a pattern behind the pebbles as it went. To me they looked like little comets trying to evade the cold North Sea. |
 |
| Orange sea glass segment. |
 |
| Sea glass heart... |
 |
| Short days mean long shadows. Even pebbles leave their stretching tippy toed mark. |
 |
| A.D. |
 |
| Beautiful! A great way to end the Seaton Carew visit. |
 |
| Seam Hall Beach next .... heading North. |
 |
| Rock'n'hole. |
 |
| Turned back at the stack. The much photographed Seaham Pier is in the far distance. |
 |
| Heading Back to car. |
 |
| Seaton Carew finds. |
 |
| Seaham finds. BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| ARRIVED AT ABOUT 4-10 PM. HIGH TIDE WOULD BE 6-03 PM. |
 |
| HEADED SOUTH AS PER USUAL. |
 |
| THE CLOUDS TO THE SOUTH WERE IMPRESSIVE. THE LIGHT FADED AS IT DOES AND I HEADED BACK IN DARKNESS. BEACH BUOY. |
 |
| An after work dash to the beach before the light faded. |
 |
| 4-24pm ... bang on high tide. It was a mild 11 degrees a pleasant night. BEACH BOY. |
 |
| There wasn't a stick of heat in the Sun. The temperature was in the minus range. |
 |
| The cold didn't matter. |
 |
| I won't be going to Heaven. If I was then this is the type of view I would expect on my arrival. A beach and all of my pets from the past waiting for me somewhere between the Sea and the Strand line. |
 |
| The Cold Sea was wild in the Bay. |
 |
| I liked the pattern that the Sea had left on the Sand as it headed out to regroup. |
 |
| I found some yellow sea glass. It looked like a piece of the Sun... A BIT FELL OF THE SUN TODAY IT LANDED ON THE BEACH A BIT OF SUN FROM FAR AWAY IT'S NORMALLY OUT OF REACH A BIT OF SUN WAS LAYING THERE I PUT IT IN MY POCKET IT SAVED A FORTUNE TO BE FAIR NO NEED TO BUY "THAT" ROCKET BEACH BUOY and then later that day it was off to Hartlepool's Headland. |
 |
| Silvery Sun in contrast to this morning's light. |
 |
| Gentlemen. |
 |
| The Breakwater; an ageing arm protecting the Port. |
 |
| Trio of photographers. |
 |
| Lamp light. BEACH BUOY. |
