Brigantine, an island you'll love for life!
Brigantine is a beautiful barrier Island which
is totally surrounded by water and connected by a bridge to Atlantic City. You
may soak in the sun, surf, enjoy wave riding, nature walking, boating, sport
fishing, or four wheeling or just relaxing on the beach. Every time we go there the day spent on the beach makes part of the best summer memories. September 19, 2010 was not an exception, the day was beautiful and we enjoyed walking on the beach.

| Common sandpipers are small-sized birds, but they have
relatively long legs that they put to
good use. When seen running in
groups the birds appear to display a remarkable coordination
of
movement. Sandpipers are ground feeders that dine on crustaceans,
insects, worms, and other coastal creatures. They retrieve them by
meticulously pecking and probing with their short bills. |

| I was taking pictures and video clips while Igor took my picture from the boardwalk. |

Oh, I would never forget about those vicious beasts.
We went to Brigantine in August last year,
and I still have scars from the bites... |
 |
| We had lunch at the Pirates' Den restaurant, and it was nice, my crab cake was very yummi. |

| Horseshoe crab. Aren't they huge! They look similar to crustaceans, but actually they are more closely related to spiders and scorpions. The earliest horseshoe crab fossils are found in geologic layers from the late Ordovician period, roughly 450 million years ago. |

| Cloud reflection and Igor walking on the desert beach. We walked for 5 hours this day, and ended up with sunburns on our faces. The sun was not as strong as in summertime, but it was breezy and we did not realize we needed sunblock. |
