Day 7, the last full day of our southern anniversary vacation started like the previous 6… with a card.

.

.

This trip was our gift to each other so I opted for a card a day instead.

I’m thoughtful that way. 😉

.

.

It also started with the malfunction of my very last can of (the now reformulated and totally awful Aussie instant freeze… may a pox fall upon their houses and render every last one of the executives bald) hairspray.

Oh, the horror!

With my drastically unsecured hairdo, we headed out that morning to buy a thank you gift for our neighbor who was caring for Lord Dudley Mountcatten in our absence. On the way out of the store I chuckled at the appropriate license plate of the elderly owner.

.

And speaking of moss…

.

.

We decided to make the most of our last day and return to the Botany Bay preserve to fully explore Boneyard Beach at low tide.

.

.

Passing under that gorgeous canopy of trees again on the way in.

.

.

It never got old.

.

.

Our previous two trips to the beach were shortened first by loss of daylight and then by rising tide.

We hoped for better viewing this time.

.

.

I know the pictures don’t do it justice…

.

.

But you have to trust me, this place was amazing in person.

.

.

.

.

Even with bad hair and high winds.

.

.

The skeletal remains of all those trees made it feel like another planet.

.

.

Or maybe this one after some kind of Planet of the Apes scenario.

.

.

.

.

Look…

.

.

My husband smiled, so you know it was special.

.

.

I swear if I lived in this area I’d be here everyday…
