A Mid-Summer Dream!

Introduction:

Welcome to Dream Lake! An aquatic destination where harmony prevails! Patience, tolerance and understanding are daily routines adhered to by all inhabitants! Happiness and hope are guaranteed to all with an embrace of tranquility.

Assist and Help are the chief residents of Dream Lake. They are your guides on today’s visit here. Above, Help supports Assist as he floats on his back! Please enjoy your tour!

Assist demonstrates the willingness the people here offer for the good of all. Dream Lakers treat everyone equally, fairly and respectfully. Age makes no difference and old and young alike are courteous. They are attentive to every detail imaginable! Assist greets you and Help affords a secondary shadow for all!

Dream Lake’s friendliness is mirrored by Assist and Help. Often times, both are available in the event that both are needed to combine efforts and provide necessary services for all to share.

The spirit of cooperation is a benefit that Help and Assist afford to all persons. There is no task too great that care and concern are unable to overcome. Working together, they enable success to spread to all!

Careful examination of different solution possibilities allows them time to consider options and resources beyond what is readily available. Sometimes, this thinking process opens a new path that expands directions and provides opportunities!

Assist and Help are confident in their communication strengths. Through their experience in working towards sustaining an ideal and positive atmosphere, they have forged mutual bonds of accountability and dependability.

They have an extraordinary sense of trust in their obligation towards one another as individuals and as a team. They both know of their sincere and truthful natures in dealing with special and unique situations.

Assist and Help appreciate and understand the importance of reliability in supporting one another and their community. They are consistent and effective in their exchanges and suggestions for alternate responses.

They strive to present an example of equality and shared responsibility to all they serve. There is no discrepancy in their roles and obligations. They respect each other and everyone they serve.

Assist and Help are very secure in the knowledge that what they have and what they share is not only the strength of the sanctity of their relationship but also the strength of exactly what is real and valid in life!

Reality:

It is hoped that this fantasy is understood to be the reality that what this society truly needs is more of assist and help and less of what is unfortunately too prevalent today! The loss of caring, decency, honesty and integrity from our souls has unleashed a surrender to corruption, deceit, dishonesty, greed and obsession that now encompasses daily life. Gone are any sense of fairness, generosity and value.

As a people and as a society, hope, trust and virtue need to be restored. Else, the decline from justice and mediation will win. The lack of compassion and mercy will enslave us all. This indeed rests with us as there is no inspiration from our totally disreputable political lacklusters!

Strippers!

Getting bare to enjoy the freedom and the surf!

Nude Pride!

Photo-Essay: Nude Pride!

Yours truly, with pride!
Obviously!

Just as his message proclaims to everyone around, he’s proud of his same gender loving nakedness and as a confident bare practitioner he is willing to share himself with others!

Arrival!
Relaxed!

No matter where we are, during the summertime, nature and our nakedness remain constant and compatible. A most definite “winning combination!”

Rooftop and preoccupied!

Welcoming the surf to the shore in the most natural way: clothes free!

Welcoming together!
Seasonal confidence!

Bare and without a single care as to what others may judge or think!

Bare expression!

For an overwhelming majority of us, being a bare practitioner is a choice that we freely make…

Desire to become bare!

whether we are alone or in the company of our companions and friends!

Bare camaraderie!

As bare practitioners, we do not intend to offend, we just want to be ourselves!

Our pride in being bare practitioners (SGL naturists/nudists) extends beyond the month of June every year. It’s an ongoing process that re-affirms our fulfillment and self-worth throughout the entire year.

“Our sense of confidence in ourselves doesn’t bestow on any of us the right of arrogance and/or the right of judgment. we, of all people, know better than to make that assumption. Most of us have been the target of judgmental and prejudicial behaviour (or worse) in our own lives and know, first-hand, how that makes people feel. Patience and tolerance of others, regardless of the beliefs and values they hold, should be our guide. Our pride in ourselves includes our pride in our actions towards others.

Being confident and proud of ourselves involves respecting the rights of others in allowing them to be proud of themselves, too. Our freedom should not entail denying the same to anyone else.” ~ Roger Poladopoulos ~ 1 June 2017

Naked Truth!

Our Bad!

I’m jogging to show my naked pride!

Remember!

A gentle reminder that the USA has mid-term elections on Tuesday, 3 November, 2026. My spouse, Aaron and I encourage everyone to confirm and to verify their ability to vote. This process can be done now in order to avoid any last-minute delays, inconveniences and suspicious vote-tampering.

We also urge everyone to become familiar with the candidates seeking election. This awareness helps to ensure the continuity of the democratic system and hopefully will return results without the challenges of corruption, greed and illegality. This country is suffering serious damage and distrust of government specifically and the election process in general.

Our lives and our future depend on us all exercising our right to vote. Our hope for a change needs us to plan to cast our ballot in November!

Thank you for your consideration!

Naked hugs!

May Day & WNGD*!

MAY DAY!

Spring blooms!

May Day, 1 May, annually!

The traditional May Day occurs on the first day of May. However, many observances of this occasion happen on any day of the month, depending on the host/source. In the Northern Hemisphere, May Day is usually celebrated to remind ourselves that the Spring season has definitely arrived and by this time is blooming. A truly awesome time to be natural in nature and the sunlight!

The origins of the May Day festivities vary from cultural, national, regional and religious sources. Throughout the hemisphere, the progress of the Spring season is visible and physical with the rising outdoor temperatures commemorating the end of the barren environs suffered through the winter and the bright and colourful atmosphere that reminds us all that is finally here!

The Roman Catholic Church fostered the dedication of the month of May in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This tradition has many believing the renewal of faith with the natural rebirth of foliage during the arrival of Springtime!

*WORLD NAKED GARDENING DAY!

Houseplant garden!

*World Naked Gardening Day, Saturday, 2 May 2026!

Observed throughout most of the world the first Saturday during the month of May, annually. This year, the date is 2 May 2026 and is the twenty-second anniversary for the observance!

Sun-Bathed Nakedness

by Walt Whitman

“Never before did I get so close to Nature; never before did she come so close to me…Nature was naked, and I was also…Sweet, sane still Nakedness in Nature! – ah if poor, sick, prurient humanity in cities might really know you once more! Is not nakedness indecent? No, not inherently. It is your thought, your sophistication, your fear, your respectability that is indecent. There come moods when these clothes of ours are not only too irksome to wear, but are themselves indecent.”

The very first observation of World Naked Gardening Day occurred on Saturday, 10 September 2005. The second followed, again on a Saturday, 9 September 2006. After the second event, it was decided to change the celebration to the month of May, annually, as that was determined to be the ideal time for gardening and growth. Canada and New Zealand have both adopted different dates for their events due to climate diversity.

For additional information, visit the website for the occasion:

world naked gardening day

My spouse, Aaron, and I host a brunch for this activity at our condominium in Arlington, Virginia, USA. We enclose privacy on our balcony by hanging sheets and invite friends over (a small gathering) to bring a potted plant that needs to be replanted due to growth. We then proceed with the repotting outside and socializing inside. Of course, we’re all bare practitioners so our clothing does not hinder our performance of our task-of-the-day!

While we’re performing our gardening duties, Aaron is busy in the kitchen preparing a delicious meal to replenish our energy level! His culinary skills surpass our gardening skills combined!

Our food and fun efforts to preserve our nakedness heritage and nature!

Naked hugs! Happy World Naked Gardening Day!

Armenian Genocide!

Armenian Genocide victims!

During the Great War – World War I (1914-1918) – the Ottoman Turkish Empire instigated the very first ethnic genocide (killing, massacre, slaughter) of the twentieth century directed against the Armenian minority living within the belligerent Ottoman Empire.

At the time, the Ottomans were allied with the Central Powers (Austria-Hungary, Germany) against the British, French, Belgian forces and the Russian Empire.

Turkey’s affiliation with the Central Powers led to a political coup that transferred the authority of the government from the Sultan to the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), a substitute for civilian authority.

Flag of Armenia

On 24 April 1915, the CUP ordered the deportation and expulsion of the Armenian residents of the capital city, Constantinople. Soon, the order was extended throughout all the Ottoman Empire and extended to also include execution. Massive crowds, often entire villages, were forced to march into the Syrian Desert, without food and water. They were raped, robbed, starved and brutally beaten.

The deportations and deaths became massive, prevalent and real. The overthrow of the monarchy and the division of lands formerly occupied by the CUP allowed atrocities against the Armenians and others until almost midway through the 1920s. By that time, an estimated 2 million Armenians had been exterminated. The emerging Turkish country had reduced the Armenian population from 2.5 million to under 400,000.

Genocide Memorial

Tsitsernakaberd: The Armenian Genocide Memorial

The Genocide Memorial was built in 1967 on the hill of Tsitsernakaberd, just outside the capital city of Yerevan, Armenia. The Genocide Memorial Museum Institute was added later and officially opened in 1995.

Every year on 24 April, the complex hosts the National Remembrance Day Ceremony where hundreds of thousands of people line for hours to place floral tributes and to offer prayers for the victims.

Ceremonial offerings

Personal Connection:

My maternal grandfather was one-half Armenian, his mother was born in the Ottoman Empire. He remembered the Turkish soldiers congregating the Armenian people inside their village church and setting the entire structure on fire. He and several of his friends were absent from school on that day and ran off when they witnessed the soldiers assaulting the village.

A Turkish family helped them escape to safety.

Budding Season!

Background:

Ah! Spring is in the air! At least, that is the prediction and promise of the old adage offering the situation of the renewal (renudeal) of… bromance! Go ahead, roll your eyes, shake your head and frown! Yet right in front of your eyes, there’s an innocent young couple doing just that! Bromance!

Spring has recently become reality and already these two are commencing…together! We can’t judge them! First and foremost, we’re not qualified to pass judgment! Secondly, they didn’t invent the ancient proverb! They’re only responding to the wisdom! After all, Spring is (indeed) “in the air -and all around us!”

In the header .gif image above, no one is at fault! Neither of them can be blamed! They are essentially doing what a couple actually do during the Springtime naturally – while natural (bare)! One is fondling the buttocks of the other. And the other is allowing his buttocks to be fondled!

In this second .gif image, they are merely walking together, exploring where they are…companionship together! Continuing to be naturally together while both are remaining natural (bare). Have either of them done anything wrong? No! Has one abused or hurt the other? No! Spring remains in the air and is following them everywhere! They are inseparable!

Where are they going? Do we know what’s going to happen once they arrive there? They are both already casual and comfortable in their nakedness. What will they explore next? Will their decision impact us? Are any of these concerns our business?

Spring is in the air! It is all around us everywhere! Our only obligation is to take care and stay bare!

Spring is in the air, and with it comes the budding season! Budding is the sprouting, then growth and appearance of the buds of flowers as they adorn the now exploding foliage on plants. A visible guarantee and proof that: Yes! Spring is in the air!

The budding season also denotes that the emerging bromance of our featured innocent couple is full of hope for their future together. However, should the potential bromance not develop and prosper then hopefully, at least, a “buddy” (friendship) will appear, grow and survive!

Naked hugs!

If they can last through a winter together, then they are really in love!
