SEATON SANDS, NORTH GARE BEACH AND MIDDLETON 09 DEC. 2017.

An early start.
It was minus 1.
So bright and Sunny but the breeze made it feel very cold.

The overnight tide had been high and rough, leaving thousands plastic nurdles along the strand line.
I find it odd that the rougher the Sea then there seems to be more chance of these showing up.

We headed South as is the Norm.
The Sun was about to make it's entrance.

Ta dah!

A large piece of driftwood seems to stretch towards the rising Sun.

It was such a beautiful morning.
Everywhere you looked  just begged to be photographed.
So glad that as a child I was encouraged  to be up and out  early to catch "The best part of the day."

The turbulent Sea seemed reluctant to admit the tide was going out. Wave after wave came rushing in, almost hoping to catch out the unwary beach walkers.

Green?
How Green?
Don't let the Sea carry the Can!

North Gare Beach.

The Blue Lagoon had a coating of Sea coal, edged by ice crystals.

Across The River Tees.
Large waves rolled in as their tops were whipped off by the strong breeze.

I looked North to see how much Beach that the Sea had decided to hand back... not a lot.

Meanwhile back in the River Mouth.

On the way back I picked up more drinks cans.
DON'T LET THE SEA CARRY THE CAN!

A Beach found bucket holds my beach clean items.

After a cuppa and bun with a Sea view, it was off to Middleton Beach.

BEACH BUOY.
