Thursday morning.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog arrived at the beach car park at
6-38 a.m.
The lady with a red coat and a brown dog arrived at 6-39.
"Morning."
"Morning."
The lady headed north along the Esplanade.
Beach Buoy made their way to the access ramp and the beach beyond.
The Esplanade Cyclist passed by as they approached the ramp.
"Morning."
"Morning,"
Once on the beach, Beach Buoy collected five suitable stones for Stubborn Dog Stack.
The tide was well out, beyond the Seaton Carew Wreck.
A lady and her dog walked between it and the sea as the tide was so low.
They crossed a scatter of seacoal as they headed south.
It was still around twenty minutes to sunrise.
The was a breeze from the south west it was surprisingly mild.
Hoods down, hands in pockets , not because they were cold, it just felt comfortable.
A large flock of Gulls were lined along the water's edge.
Every now and then, a couple would take off before heading across the dunes.
Beach Buoy looked back to the north.
Dennis the dog was trotting along southwards at the water's edge.
His owner was striding along behind.
Dennis reached the resting Gulls.
They all took flight.
Beach Buoy and Another Dog walked the low level route.
7-08 a.m.
"Morning Mate."
Beach Buoy added the stones that were suitable.
He patted
THE
stone.
He had a sit and think on the driftwood seat with an elevated view.
Dennis the Dog and his Owner went by on the beach below.
Distant waves were shared.
The Sun showed up just north of South Gare Pier.
Not now long before sunrises take place over land and not sea, for this beach at least.
The lady who walks the full; length of the beach did so.
The low tide meant that she could reach the Pier via the beach today.
A rare photograph capturing many regulars.
Teams One Black Ear and Muzzled Dog chatted as the man who once had four dogs passes with three.
One of the three had gone over to the team meeting in hope of a chicken treat.
The Beachcombing Border Collie couple came as far south as the stack before returning to the north.
"See you mate."
They returned to the beach below.
An Aeroplane unzipped the sky above.
Beach Buoy walked and talked with Team One Black Ear for a while.
He made a fuss of Hugo, the dog with one black ear.
Beach Buoy spotted something...
A Pod of Dolphins were swimming southwards, close to the waters edge.
OCTOBER DOLPHINS!
JACKPOT!
BEACH BUOY.
