I remember years ago walking along the beach at Assateague National 
Seashore (MD) on a moonless night.  Not only was the surf highlighted 
by the bioluminescent plancton, but every footstep on the wet sand 
glittered with millions of light blue stars.  You could write words in 
the sand with you finger, like writing with stardust.  I've seen the 
occurrence a few times since then, but never quite so spectacularly.  
Ain't nature amazing?

Cheers
