FRIDAY 27 AUGUST 2021, SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.




Beach Buoy and Another Dog reached the beach car park at

6-20 p.m.

He faffed on a bit before heading for the beach.

There was a strong breeze from the north.

Beach Buoy walked directly to the sea as if he was wanting to tell it a story.

It was the sea that spoke.

They headed south with a breeze on their backs and a sea on their left.

The tide was much more in than it was out.

A Dead Tern turned in the shallows, as the sea rolled it to shore.

Large Brown Jellyfish were scattered along the strand line.

They looked almost electronic with complicated wiring.

Another Dog chased sea foam ghosts.



They headed to Stubborn Dog Stack.

"Evening Mate."

He added three stones and patted 

THE 

stone.

A couple stood nearby on the dune edge.

They looked at the sea as though they had a story to tell it.

It was the Sea that spoke.



 




They headed back.
"See you tomorrow Mate x."

A lone Magpie called Sorrow hopped  towards the dunes.
It looked like a child from the 1950's who had just seen a John Wayne film and was riding an imaginary Horse.


Coffee and Nod in the Van.
By the time Beach Buoy woke the two differing shades of grey of sea and sky were becoming one.
Nights were closing in

BEACH BUOY.

  1. I suppose evening walks will gradually shorten. I’d love to live within the sound of the beach speaking. Can always hear it at my usual campsite, Dunstan Hill. Beadnell in October where it’s just yards away.

  2. It's always the sea that speaks, either calming or angry. Sounds like Ruby was having fun, chasing sea foam ghosts. Sad that you saw a dead Turn and the jelly fish (you'll have to be careful that neither you or Ruby get stung - just read about dogs getting stung by jellyfish). Atmospheric photos.

  3. Thank you. She is on lead always for now and maybe always anyway.
