Barnegat Bridge

Remember the Frankie Valli song "My Eyes Adored You"?
In it he mentions Barnegat Bridge and Bay.  I live on Barnegat Bay and I travel that bridge all the time.  It crosses Barnegat Bay to the ocean side.
 I thought you might like to see it. So, yesterday on the way home from my doctors appointment I took some photos along the way.

Walking home every day over
Barnegat Bridge and Bay
Till we grew into the me and you
Who went our separate ways

Here I am headed for the bridge to the mainland

Here is the bridge taken from a boat.  It is lovely in the distance all lit up at night.
This is the ocean by my doctor's office taken with my cell phone.

My shoes...for some reason unknown to anyone

Yesterday was a lovely day but a bit chilly by the glorious Atlantic Ocean
