arrived at 6-10 a.m.
Sunrise was to be at 6-15.
A lady sat on the low wall at the bottom of the access ramp with her feet touching sand as she looked towards the horizon.
The Moon hung over the dunes as the 7 a.m. club walked the water's edge, heading southwards.
Beach Buoy plonked himself down on the sand at the northern end of the dunes..
He watched the Sun come up as a Ship headed for The River Tees.
There was a swirl of differing oranges in the sky just before the Sun came up.
It looked like an artist's pallete as they mixed shades to find the perfect Sun.
The Sun rose.
The access wall lady walked to the water's edge.
The 7:a m. Club returned North.
They chatted as Beach Buoy give Mari a neck scratch/ shoulder rub.
"Its just about perfect." said Mari's owner.
"Yes, just about " answered Beach Buoy.
They said farewell with wishes for a good day.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog continued towards Stubborn Dog Stack.
Up on the Dune edge, four Magpies and a Crow hopped around.
In next to no time the beach to the north looked to be empty.

"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added some stones.
He patted
THE

He set up the wobbly driftwood plank.
He sat drinking a wobbly driftwood coffee.
The Sun glowed.
His face glowed
He washed his face in sunlight with cupped hands.
Try it sometime.

Up in the dunes, a bird sounded like a reversing truck.

hung in the sky.
