September is here and in the Southern Hemisphere the Spring season has finally arrived! Here’s to all of our bottoms-up! enthusiasts “down there” who have several seasons to enjoy all the outdoor exposure. Have fun!
Those who live in the Northern Hemisphere, take advantage of the opportunities to view buttocks outdoors now. Colder weather is definitely not too far away!
A bottoms-up! splash!
As both hemispheres are transitioning changes this month, skinny-dipping is an activity that the majority of us enjoy and exposed buttocks are the attraction that keeps us coming back!
Sandy saturated buttocks!
The beach shoreline is almost always coated with a fine collection of sand. As the above image reminds us, sand and buttocks are equally inseparable!
Beach buttocks!
It doesn’t matter if we’re on the beach or inland. Climbing mountains or diving into pools, the attraction to buttocks knows no limitations or restrictions!
Togetherness!
Let’s all join in together and embrace one another and our bottoms-up! anatomy!
Naked hugs!

The earth slowly begins the hemispheric shift of the sun’s rays from north to south now. Time to offer a gentle reminder to us all on the value of sunscreen – no matter where we live or what season we’re involved. A little effort enhances the health and safety of ourselves and our skin! A minimum effort now helps to prevent endless pain and suffering (or worse) in the future!
Sunscreen is for everyone!
A common misconception is that sunscreen is only beneficial for light-skinned – Caucasian – people. It has been proven time and time again that sunscreen is essential for all races of humanity. One person’s skin tone does not make her/him immune to skin cancer or skin disease. We are all susceptible and vulnerable, although our individual levels of tolerance may vary.
Applying sunscreen!
Rather than re-enter my current post entry on proper sunscreen use and recommendations again, I’m linking that posting here. To access, click to following title and review and refresh knowledge and memory:
One common myth that persists about sunscreen use is that it is only needed to be applied during the summer. The proven medical and scientific determination is that sunscreen is vital whenever we are exposed to the sun’s rays, no matter the season of the year. The radiation intensity of sunlight occurs all year long.
Living in the east coast mid-Atlantic region of the USA, Aaron and I are sunscreen users when in winter as well as summer. Our skin quality deserves more than just a summertime attention!
Naked hugs!

Congratulations to everyone living in the Southern Hemisphere! Your time for the warmth of the sunshine and the agreeable outdoor weather temperatures has now begun! Strip off all those burdensome clothing items and greet the day with both joy and pride.
We bare practitioners know all-too-well the splendour that awaits you in the upcoming seasons. Survey your balcony as you plan on how you’ll decorate the space this time of year. Enjoy your naked freedom!
A balcony profile!
This is the first day of the new season so bask away in anticipation. You’ve waited for this day to arrive so make certain you appreciate every moment given to you! Trust me, the time passes-by all-too-quickly!
Relax and enjoy your new season and day!
You have the entire season ahead of you – just remember not to waste any time dressed in clothing or worrying about that others may think of your nakedness or your sexuality. Be proud! Be yourself! Be happy!
Naked hugs!

Northern Hemisphere: Last Full Day of Summer, 2022!
The dreaded day is now upon us – tomorrow, September 23, – the Autumn season begins. Of course, we all know, from our experience, that this is not the exact last day that we’ll be able to parade about clothes free outside. The outdoor temperature change doesn’t occur overnight!
A balcony gives us a view of the outdoors and a space to “test” ourselves to the natural temperatures: cold or hot, comfortable or uncomfortable. Here in the Northern Hemisphere, this time of the year gives us a balcony area that has a very cozy, personal and “lived-in” look. We’ve had an entire season to accumulate and decorate!
The scene from his balcony!
Today is the last complete day of the season of summer, in the Northern Hemisphere. Tomorrow, the season officially changes. Here’s hoping everyone enjoys the last full day of summer! Pose as a very proud bare practitioner and take a selfie to document the occasion!
Naked hugs!

The term “Friday Footnote” confuses some people. Please don’t be misled. I am not endorsing a “foot fetish” obsession – nor am I condemning one! A “footnote” is a brief notice or explanation for clarification. To enhance comprehension and understanding of the subject material. Our man above is ReNude Pride’s visual indication of a footnote.
The latest updates…!
In my posting earlier this month, September: New Beginnings, (click title to view) I presumed that everyone understood the correlation between January 1, and September 1. A “new beginning” isn’t really happening just because it is the start of another month and another calendar season. However, as early as we are into the current month, “new” has already enveloped us. The most obvious being the ascension of Charles III as the Head of Commonwealth on the death of his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Another event happened to me, personally, just this past week! A most welcome occurrence!
Friends reunited!
Role-model reunion:
Returning to my classroom after the Labor Day holiday (Monday, September 5), I was totally surprised and thrilled to receive a response from one of my oldest (acquaintance wise) blogging buddies with the accurate and current address of his blog! This lifted my spirits after the day off and made me excited about this long overdue reunion!
His new site is: Gaytekeeper’s Blog. Click on the title and visit the blog. He is very impressive and will keep you entertained, informed and current!
Addendum:
I appreciate everyone who corrected my connectivity link above. It was a typographical error on my part. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience!

Farewell, Summer, 2022!
Get-Away goodbye!
In the Northern Hemisphere, this approaching weekend is the final official one of the Summer of 2022. The season of fun, surf and sun will – within a few short days – disappear as autumn brings a chill into our lives.
Aaron and I are on the roadways away beginning today (early in the morning). This is our bidding farewell to the season and to the comfortable temperatures outside. We have no definitive destination for our weekend jaunt although an ocean and waves are always appealing!
This is our tribute to the summer of 2022 – our method of saying “thank you” and good-bye” as the season draws to a close. It was both fun and remarkable, a combination that unfortunately doesn’t happen to often recently.
I wish to everyone reading and/or visiting here the best for the weekend! Be careful and safe!
Naked hugs!

Author’s Note: The next post entry for here is planned for Monday, September 19, 2022, and the proposed topic is a brief tribute on the funeral and burial of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
When Roger, my spouse, invited me to write another post for here, I knew immediately the topic that I wanted to address: a title page for a bare practitioners photo album. One that will prepare whoever is preparing to turn the page for whatever amount of bare bodies they are about to encounter! These are my ideas on some ideal eye-opening and tasteful images to employ!
The photograph (above) shows a group of nature (naked, natural) men congregating under a sign labeled: The Trails. Obviously, the entrance to a park nature trail. And all the men are identical (completely bare) and ready to explore nature naturally! The sign and the crew set the mood for what the album features: bare practitioners having fun, together!
The use of signage is always a good tool to convey meaning and content. Placing it on the title page of a photo album lets the viewers know what is following.
Same entrance, different view!
Sometimes, it isn’t always necessary to offer the humanity of us bare practitioners along with the signage. The offering below shows exactly what I mean!
Sign of caution at a clothing optional beach!
The simple wordage on the above sign makes sure all viewing the title page know what is pictured in this particular album – continue to peruse if you dare! What lies ahead is fully explained to everyone!
The simpler the message, the clearer the understanding!
With some signs, no detail is subject to confusion or misunderstanding. The above sample for the title page let’s everyone know for a fact that the album’s creator/owner is both without clothing and shame!
Justification!
The facts are displayed in full view and no more explanation is expected or needed. All of us like to feel comfortable – either individually or as a group effort!
Bare is fun for everyone!
A “fun and games” activity can be a fun game for everyone: observers as well as participants. Many of those watching secretly wish they had the courage to take off their clothes and join in the festivities. This subtle suggestion can offer a topic for all of those looking through the photograph album to explore!
Sunbathing!
Enjoying the sunshine on a summer day is a pleasant way to explore the benefit of nudity, especially when shared with a friend who gives support and has no qualms about being publicly naked. Sharing pictures such as this on the title page of a book of images is a reminder to others to try the same!
A bare cookout can be very appealing!
Food is another suggestion that can not only remind others of what lies ahead in the album but also capture the fun of clothes freedom and the experiences it provides. Some folks fail to recognize that clothing isn’t necessary to live life successfully!
Social issues!
A social concern expressed on the title page of a picture album – one that is freely shared with others – is a good method of making acquaintances and friends aware of some of the concerns facing our community and culture. It’s often a good way to educate others of our social issues that we have to face daily!
Nude photographer and nude subject: a perfect pair!
Another great title page example is one featuring a bare practitioner cameraman capturing a bare practitioner model. Our comfort with our nakedness is one of the many reasons most of us maintain a naked photograph album. The old saying: “a picture speaks a thousand words” is proven again to be true and valid!
The underlying purpose for this entry and the images here is to offer ideas and suggestions for everyone’s creative designs. Use the ones here or make your own. The important message is to inform all viewing your album’s title page is that full nakedness lies ahead!
Naked hugs!
Me recovering after posting this article!

Author’s Note: First, I want to thank Aaron for his composition of the above post entry here. Love you, man! The next article for here is planned for Friday, September 16, 2022, and the proposed topic is: “Footnote Friday: News!”
An observation from Dale Carnegie (above) that is valuable to practice and to remember. The majority of us can benefit from his insight. Patience, tolerance and understanding are assets often forgotten if not completely ignored.
A valid hope for a better future!
An achievement goal from Nelson Mandela!
Hope is justified when we look and move forward in our lives. Fear is nothing more than an alien excuse for compliance and inaction!
Nothing to fear!
Reality and truth!
Have a safe and wonderful weekend!

Author’s Note: The next post entry here is planned for Monday, September 12, 2022, and the proposed topic is a promised posting by my spouse, Aaron, entitled: “TIPS!”
I just received a text from my spouse, Aaron, announcing the death of H. M. Elizabeth II, Head of the Commonwealth. Aaron is a Canadian subject and has always admitted admiration for the late Queen. At this time, I submit my condolences and sympathy to all those of the Commonwealth.
This year was the Queen’s Platinum anniversary – 70 years as the Sovereign. She was the only monarch I’ve ever known.
The first Monday in September, annually, in the USA is the national holiday known as Labor Day – in honour of those who work hard and keep the nation’s economy healthy. Originally conceived for hourly manual workers, it now includes all workers, both blue-collar (manual) and white-collar (executive) workers!
Kory Mitchell: American laborer #1!
Despite posing with construction equipment, Labor Day is regarded as a holiday for all professions. It is also often unofficially determined to be the last day of the summer season!
Kory Mitchell: American laborer #2!

Happy Labor Day! If living in the USA, then have a safe and successful holiday.
