28, FEB 2025. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.


Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked to the beach.
They arrived at 6-55 a.m.


The sun was just coming up.

Team One Black Ear caught up.
They chatted all of the way to the grey rocks.

Down at the water's edge a lady had lost her glove.
Team One Black Ear knew her.
Beach Buoy did not.

They went their separate ways.


Beach Buoy gathered five suitable stones.


They walked a frosty low level route.


Up the small but frosty slope that leads to Stubborn Dog Stack.


"Morning Mate."
It was 7-31.
Beach Buoy added some stones.
He patted 
THE
stone.



He rotated the driftwood plank with plenty of rust and frost.
He sat drinking coffee


A sit and think.

"See you mate."
They returned to the beach.
North at first to clear the grey rocks.
Then south on sand.

The man with three dogs who once had four caught up.
" Morning."
"Morning."

They headed south at a quicker pace.



One of the three remaining dogs.
They are all splendid.
This one usually brings up the rear.


Off to play catch up.

It was a gorgeous day.
Often, the Sun goes from orange to lemon once sunrise is done.
Today it was custard.
Like Baby Bear's porridge, it was just right.


Beach Buoy searched around the Tank Traps .
He returned  northwards.


Starfish was belly up.
Beach Buoy could see signs of life.
He placed in a beach pool.
He went to gather a couple of rocks to offer it some protection but it was clear that it was on the move already.


Corrugated Steel runs out to sea like an excited swimmer.


Dog walker turns photographer to capture the wreck.


The wreck today.

27, FEB. 2025. SEATON SANDS, HARTLEPOOL.


Thursday.

Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked to the beach.

They set off at 7-30 a.m.

They reached the beach at 7-50 a.m.


The Sun was up.
Team Muzzled Dog were already to the South.


Crows and People.
Small and far away.

Sea swimmers were entering the water to the north.


The wreck today.  
Sand is beginning to cover the aft.



South.


Tide was well out.


Along the water's edge.

Up ahead a tall man with a Corgi headed south too.
A lady was to the south, throwing a driftwood stick for her Black Labrador.
The two chatted 
Both dogs chased one thrown driftwood stick.


Lovely start to the day.


A Defiant Crow.


The  tall man and his Corgi head back towards the Village.


Team Beach Buoy.
They gathered five suitable stones.
They walked the low level route.


"Morning Mate."
It was 8-30 a.m.
Beach Buoy added some stones.
He patted 
THE 
stone.


Two men and their two Black Labradors were down on the beach below.



😱
A Giant Rabbit looked down as he sat on the driftwood plank with plenty of rust.
He watched a ship round the Wind Turbines before heading to the Tees.
Two Black Labradors appeared.
They were the ones from the beach below.
Their owners followed soon afterwards.
They had the briefest of chats.
Brief but pleasant.

"See you mate."
They headed back to the low level route.
For no particular reason, Beach Buoy was deep in thought.
He looked up to see Dotty Dog and Mam heading into the dunes.
He hoped that he hadn't missed a distant wave.
He makes lots of observations on the beach.
At other times he can be so unobservant.

They headed back.


Eight still not in use.
Beach Buoy rang the council.
It's a problem with the locks.
They didn't envisage so much sand...
No comment.
Beach Buoy asked about reopening The Clock Tower Toilets.
"They've been decommissioned."

26, FEB. 2025. WALKING BACK FROM THE MOT GARAGE.


The van is in for a service and a MOT.
Beach Buoy walked back from from the Garage with Borrowed Dog.


The tide was well out so they walk on the beach wherever possible.


On an almost deserted and vast beach, a ball came bouncing by.
The lady had launched a ball for her dog.
She had clearly mistakenly thought that Beach Buoy was a ten pin.


Looking up from the beach below to the Canoe man's house.


Little Scar Rocks.


Geese.


More Geese and a Gull.


Even more Geese.


Geese over The Norton Hotel.

BEACH BUOY.

26, FEB. 2025. SEATON SANDS , HARTLEPOOL.

 Beach Buoy and Another Dog reached the beach steps at 6-44 a.m.


It was frosty.
The 7 a.m. club were heading south along the water's edge.


A chilly breeze blew from the south west.
The tide was well out.


The 7 a.m. club. head south.

Beach Buoy hadn't spoken to them for months.
Beach Buoy's beach times vary.
The 7 a.m. club's don't.


The wreck today.



The north.

The 7 a.m. club came by on their return north.
It was outstretched arms and hugs all around.
They had a long time no see chat.
They went their separate ways.


7 a.m. sunrise.


The dunes were frosty.
The sky was gorgeous.


Team one black ear stopped for a chat.


The Sun was almost clear of the sea.


The very very wet retriever headed south.


Team one black ear headed back 


"Morning Mate."
It was 7-21.
Beach Buoy added some stones.
He patted 
THE
stone.
He sat on the driftwood plank with plenty of rust.



The Sea Serpent.



Dark and light.
The temperature dropped.


Edges of the darkness headed out into the bay.
An overcast arm began to gather up the bay.


They headed back.
A sweet orange sun was turning into a sour lemon before the clouds claimed it completely.
