SEATON SANDS, 30 OCTOBER 2018.....

Beach Buoy arrived at 16-45 with Stubborn Dog.
They were greeted buy a Lumpy Bumpy Sea.
A man and two growling Dogs headed South just before Beach Buoy. Dog walkers passed going North... A Man and a Dog then two ladies walking together with their two Dogs.

The Breeze was mild but the Sea was wild. Maybe it was just a Storm Hangover?
Or was it a sign of things to come?

Because the Sea was so very Rough, once the waves broke then they ran and ran, trying to catch out unwary Beach walkers.

So many shades of Grey and Blue tonight.
Almost in a instant, rain came and what light that was left was gone for today.
Beach Buoy already longs for the lighter nights.....

From the gloom, this Sea Pottery Piece was lying Sunny-side up on the shingle by the rampant Sea.

Then it was back to the van....

Hanging from the Mirror...
Beach Buoy made the Driftwood and Sea Glass Pendant.

Five more items from the Collection of items beachcomber over the Years....
Some long shifts coming up so ... could be Beach Buoy's last Beach... for a few days?


BEACH BUOY.

29 OCT. 2018. SEATON SANDS

It was 15-50.
Beach Buoy was on Beach again.
Two Dogs for company.
The Sun was Bright, the wind was cold and the Rainbow was Colourful.

The three headed South on the chilly, but refreshing Beach.

A few people were around, making the most of the light.

The light Changed; Sunset was on the horizon.

Soon be time to go...

BEACH BUOY.

SEATON SANDS 29 OCTOBER 2018.... a day off...

A day off...
Funeral to go to.
Beach Buoy rose early and headed for the beach around 7 a.m.
with one dog for company.
Two Cyclists came along the Promenade  in Colourful Clothing and flashing lights. They reached the Dead End at the South End of the prom. They turned to face North; stopped to chat for a few moment, then off they went with their out of sync flashing red lights finally disappearing up North.

There was an eerie mist hanging over the water's edge.
Was it the fact that the Sea was warmer than the cold morning air?

Beach Buoy and Stubborn Dog headed South. It was a very atmospheric morning indeed.

The mist went the full length of the water's edge as the 7 a.m. club approached; also heading South.

The Sun came to play and made the Mist look even more alluring.

Birds flew.
Waves tumbled and waved.
Turbines Turned.
All in an amazing glow of an October Morning in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool.

Sadly, rough Sea usually means a beach delivery of Plastic Nurdles.

It was mesmerising.

Beach Buoy spent a long time looking at the Scene....

The 7 a.m. club dogs heading back North. Beach Buoy had met up with them earlier, down near the North Gare. The large friendly Poodle aka Marie was so pleased to see Beach Buoy she bounded up and licked his cheek. Her owner was still baffled as to why the Dog likes Beach Buoy so much... (Its a neck scratch thing.)
That's Beach Beach Buoy's mate in the Middle.

Then back to the Van.

BEACH BUOY........

SEATON SANDS 28 OCT 2018.

Beach Buoy had been to work.
He and one dog went to the Beach at 4-10pm.
The light was amazing.
The three figures on the left were a family with four or five of the smallest dogs around; smallest dogs with loudest bark.

Out over the Dunes, a cloud Ship Sailed by.

The Sky was a tapestry of many colours.

There was so much contrast to see.

A Storm brewed out at Sea.

A Shark Cloud?

Driftwood as hard as Iron... now part of the collection.

Five finds from the Past.

BEACH BUOY.

SEATON BEACH 27 OCT. 2018.

Beach Buoy had been to work.
It was too late to go the Football so he headed for a bright and breezy Beach with two Dogs in tow.
It was 16-40. He had parked up near the Village Green for a change as the Sea looked so dramatic and he wanted to try and capture the scene.
A Rainbow appeared as did a Man with a Brown and White dog.
The wind was biting from the North.
The Sea was wild.

The Strong wind was leaving it's mark on the Beach; making each Pebble and Stone resemble a comet flying through a Sandy Coloured Sky.....

... or a Grey One...

Dog number two was crying to be picked up.
Beach Buoy carried him a while and realised the Dog was shaking with the Cold.
They headed back to the Van up opposite The Green.

All around the Beach seabirds were lying low in the Strong Wind.
Some sought shelter, bobbing about in the Pool on the Beach.

Not another look at the Van shot... It's just Beach Buoy thought it would make a decent photograph what with the buildings behind seemed to match the Van.

Seaton Carew Sunset.

Five more from the Collection of Beach finds of the Past.

BEACH BUOY......

SEATON SANDS 26 OCT 2018.

Beach Buoy arrived at 3-55 p.m. with two dogs and a thermal cuppa, just as well really as the rain came. Beach Buoy sat in the van listening to the rain on the roof of the van. The drink was drank and the rain moved on ..... for a while.

The three beach-goers  headed out onto the Sands and into a biting wind from the North; they headed South.

There was such a contrast between the wet and dry sands

A Jogger passed by from the dry to wet sand with the Strong wind blowing him along and as far we know was never seen again?

The view to the North .... more rain to come?

They continued South as the Sea rolled in.

It was a bit of a raw day.
Even out on the horizon the waves were breaking.

Sea Pottery.
They headed back to the Van and the rain returned once more; perfect timing.

Five more from the collection.
Driftwood thats looks like a book.
A Bengal Silver Spoon.
Bird Sea Pottery.
A Stone Heart.
Floral Sea Pottery.
