| This arrived Yesterday. My constant collecting of Sea Pottery always make me wonder the story of each piece that I collect. Was it from a Shipwreck or just a broken item thrown from a passing ship. What was it? Who held it last? |
 |
| I arrived at the beach around 10 a.m. The tide was going out, having turned a few hours earlier. It was so bright but with a fresh chilly wind. |
 |
| It wasn't 11 a.m. yet but I did take time to give thanks to all of the fallen. I am so fortunate that I can indulge myself walking along the Beach, dreaming dreams and taking photographs. Basically being FREE being ME if only for a limited time. |
 |
| I glanced back towards the Village to see the Sea. |
 |
| Saw this fella climbing up a Sand Dune. From a distance it look like tired Bee. It is in fact a Common Sexton Beetle. It may be called common but it is the first that I have ever seen. |
 |
| The tide was still quite high so I cut through the dunes on my way to the Blue Lagoon. |
 |
| I took time out and sat on this Bench for a while. |
 |
| Then it was over to the Blue Lagoon at the mouth of the River Tees. It was a top coat warmer on this side of the North Gare Pier as it sheltered us from the chilly breeze. |
 |
| Sea worn Shackle. Now in Shed. |
 |
| Ship coming into Port. |
 |
| It's hard to resist the temptation to photograph this old Buoy each time I come here. Temptation won. |
 |
| I don't usually locate many finds on the side of the Pier. This old bottle top had a lovely sea worn finish |
 |
| Cloud Bird and the Moon. |
 |
| Time to head back to Seaton Carew and Hartlepool Bay. |
 |
| Said my goodbyes to the Blue Lagoon. |
 |
| Only a few finds. REASONS. 1. Not much shingle today. 2. Tide still quite high. 3. Spent longer than usual admiring the Sky and Sea. It pleased me as l left the Beach that the Church bells struck one and not the expected 12. Time flies. Life is short. If you have something to say, then say it. BEACH BUOY. |
