Saturday Morning.
Storm Amy had been doing stormy things.
It was still very windy.
Beach Buoy went to the beach alone.
The shifting Sands would be too much for Another Dog.
Its all eye level when you have little legs.
He reached the beach at 6-45 a.m.
Two sunrise seekers stood on the top of wind swept dunes.
It was over twenty minutes to sunrise.
They would be better off finding a sheltered view.
The horizon was unusual.
A dark curtain was heading south, claiming the lighter sky and possibly the sunrise.
It was strange, the fact that it was moving southwards.
The wind was from the south west.
The small clouds were rushing north.
Would the curtain close before the sunrise appeared?
Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones.
The tide was way out beyond the Seaton Carew Wreck.
Patterns in the sand.
The Beachcombing Border Collie Couple arrived .
They walked the strandline.
Beach Buoy was as far from the sea as he was the strandline.
Conversation passed on Beach Buoy's right hand side.
The Border Collie Couple took the lead.
The southern edge off the grey mass caught the hidden Sun.
The race was on.
Sunrise or no sunrise?
7-10 a.m. came.
The Sun didn't.
As Beach Buoy walked the low level route to Stubborn Dog Stack, the Sun appeared.
It was five minutes late.
"Morning Mate."
it was 7-19.
Beach Buoy added the five suitable stones.
He patted
THE
stone.
He had a sit and think on the driftwood seat with an elevated view.
He watched as the Sun began to climb clear of the Wind Turbines.
"See you mate."
He returned to the beach below.
He headed north.
Sea front windows took turns to reflect the early morning Sun.
Team Muzzled Dog headed southwards.
Distant waves...
Up ahead the man who once had four dogs had his dogs sat around in a semi-circle as if he was reading them a story.
A Crow "Listened in too."
It will have been treats on offer.
Some of the Crows will be missing the 7 a.m. club.
He feeds them cat treats as he walks the water's edge.
The man who once had four dogs, set off with three.
Distant waves had been shared.
Beach Buoy headed back to the van.
His tall sunshine shadow lead the way.
BEACH BUOY.
