Spring Cleaning!

Bare Celebrity, Landon (left) and friend!

Analogy: if similar in some respects, then they must be similar in other respects.

The header photograph (above) probably needs no explanation as it is obvious that the two men are pointing to the penis on the other; therefore, they are referencing it. And as a notation, the Black man is a celebrity within the same gender loving (SGL) film industry (porn). His stage name (performance) name is Landon. We are unsure as to why they are discussing penis but on closer inspection they’re both almost identical in length and thickness, at least while flaccid (calm, relaxed).

The .gif images published below also feature Landon, today’s guest celebrity, this time sharing a sudsy bath with a different partner.

Landon and his partner’s buttocks!

Comparing all the visuals of Landon and his accomplices, perhaps they are sharing information on hygiene and/or what is known as “spring cleaning.”

The fact that Landon and his cohort appear to be clean, it is appropriate to speculate that cleaning is a similar trait in their personal routine. Given Landon’s professional status, hygiene is expected of him as part of his work preparedness.

Landon’s fascination with male anatomy!

A patronizing inference is not intended so we can safely assume the same applies to the level of cleanliness of Landon’s buddy/friend/lover/partner. Thus, the phrase “spring cleaning” in no way refers that they each bathe just once, annually, in the Spring!

Hence, the usage of “spring cleaning” may infer – hopefully – to the routine of maintaining a tidy, pristine and safe environment (body, living space, etc.) by both men, individually and/or jointly.

Footnote #1: No disrespect to Landon nor to his friend. Aaron, my spouse, and I both appreciate his DVD scenes as well as his personal appearance. Just a “spring speculation” on an uncertain phrase and what it really means!

Footnote #2: Since we’ve identified the analogy here, perhaps the time has arrived to rename the title of this posting. A suggestion of something more accurate and descriptive. Maybe: Bare Spring Cleaning? We are, after all, bare practitioners!

Earth Day, 22 April annually!

Earth Day: A Global Event!

Communicating, celebrating, sharing, preserving our heritage and our life!

Earth Day was first held globally on 22 April 1970, At that time, it was official in only a handful of countries, but the public response was enormous and very encouraging. Before the end of the event, there were announced plans to hold an additional Earth Day on the same date in 1971.

Earth Day 2026: Our Power, Our Planet

“This Earth Day, people of all backgrounds and generations are called to stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of the only home we all share. Join us on Saturday, 18 April, Earth Day 22 April and throughout 2026 to take action and show your love for Planet Earth. When we stand together, our planet has a future.” ~ Earth Day website ~

Celebrating Trees!

There is no standard officially observed “Arbor Day.” Because of the differences in the temperatures, most events are staged relating to the weather within a particular locality. Arbor Day is customarily commemorated by an organized public tree-planting according with local needs.

The dates and times follow the regional “growing season” as determined by knowledgeable arborists and other professionals within the “arbor” (tree) community.

Spring Resolutions, 2026!

A fitness routine!

Today is 16 March 2026. The 2026 Spring season begins Friday, 20 March. Five days (a traditional work week) to assess where you are and in what direction you need to proceed for your goals and resolutions. The opportunity to implement Spring Resolutions will not last forever! Sometimes, in order to make a difference we need to try something different.

The Old Way:

Both my spouse, Aaron and I now disregard and/or ignore the inconvenient habit of “new year’s resolutions!” We live in the Northern Hemisphere. It is winter. The weather is cold (frigid) and inclement (rain, sleet, snow, ice). Neither one of us is motivated to initiate any life altering changes during this period of a barren environment and depressing – and uncomfortable – outdoor temperatures!

Additionally, the hours of natural daylight are reduced. Who needs another impediment?

A Different Way:

Exercise!

Instead of repetitiously trying to introduce a change in our daily routine, we opt to focus on the positive and play (have fun) while we’re confined inside due to the inclement weather conditions outside. Our goal now is to survive the hibernation as best we can and to follow the practice of “Spring Resolutions” – introduce change as the climate and daylight improves!

This “new way” not only reduces the risk of failure and frustration, but the mental process of adaptation is better in Spring than it is during the winter which enhances the chances of success! The return of colour – flowers and foliage – to the natural environment lifts the atmosphere towards productivity and being resourceful. The longer hours of daylight boosts flexibility.

We’ve also limited the number of goals! A lower number increases both achievement and concentration! One step forward makes the result realistic!

Interested? Everyone is welcome to join in! If you have already abandoned your new year’s resolutions, an opportunity to try Spring Resolutions and renew (renude) yourself is possible now!

Naked hugs!

Our Bad:

Author’s Note #2: The proposed topic is: “Spring, 2026!”

March Forward! Progress!

Follow me!

March forward! Progress! March, the month that encourages our replenishment of ourselves and our renude (renewed) progress as both an individual, as a community and as a culture! Bare practitioners resolute in our quest for recognition and respect!

March forward! Progress! March, here in the Northern Hemisphere, is our traditional “transitional” month! Important, memorable and necessary as this is the month that marks our transition (change) from the dreadfully depressing and dull days of winter into the joys of spring!

Pace yourselves!

Due to this ecstatic progress, “March forward!” is a proverbial useless command. Some march, some run, some stroll and some saunter and then there are those clueless ones who aimlessly wander along, set in their own pace. What is critical is that we’re all moving together – in both our nakedness and also in the same direction!

March f-o-r-w-a-r-d! Trust me, no one wants to awaken tomorrow morning moving closer to winter than spring. F-o-r-w-a-r-d! Progress!

Keep your eyes open!

During this month of transition, the routine of daylight savings time (DST) occurs annually. The final result unfortunately is not any reward of extra time but simply a “gift” of longer days of sunlight due to time adjustments.

March also delivers the official arrival of the season of springtime every year! This includes our excitement about the fading frigid temperatures outside and the renewed of warmer temperatures in our natural environment! This annual event is honoured in our outdoor world with the return of foliage to our forests and woodlands as springtime blooms and blossoms all around us.

Flexing his muscles!

Here at ReNude Pride: Guys Without Boxers! we are encouraged to practice the custom and habit of Spring Resolutions with the arrival of the rejuvenating season instead of the barren and burdensome drudgery of new year’s resolutions!

The arrival of springtime is welcoming to change and conducive to progress. The new year arrival at the onset of the winter season is merely too depressing an atmosphere!

Bare swimmers!

Bonus Reward:

The month of March also brings those of us residing in the Northern Hemisphere closer to eager arrival of the summer season and our fanciful practice of skinny dipping (swimming nude) in bodies of water offered in our natural world!

Ancient Greek warriors!

Triple Bonus Rewards!

March additionally offers the Feast of the Annunciation of the Theotokos (Mother of God)! The day that heralded the uprising against the Turkish Ottoman Empire and led to the establishment of the Kingdom of Greece by uniting the crown, the church and the state!

Friday Footnote: Resolutions!

A reminder before the chaotic, frantic, hectic and wild winter holiday madness descends upon us! Those “new year’s resolutions” that alarmingly and frequently last only into the very early days of the new year? You don’t have to waste effort and time considering them!

Allow yourself some time to compose, eliminate stress, and relax! Relieve the pressure of the holidays and cope with the likelihood of inclement weather. Take a calming deep breath. Plan now to “resolve” when it is conducive and convenient for you and not the hysteria of a new calendar!

Instead of attempting ‘new year’s resolutions,” implement a short prioritized listing of “Spring Resolutions” that begin the first day of Spring, 2026! A calmer time in the year is also compatible with change as well as new lifestyle!

We are all aware that the transition from winter into Spring doesn’t happen overnight. The transformation is gradual – often at a snail’s pace – but the knowledge that it is underway is both exciting and encouraging. Sometimes, that alone provides us with the determination and the energy to accomplish success!

A barren winter environment begins to surrender to the rebirth of the Spring season. Again, another slow process that we welcome annually. Being reborn along with the springtime permits us to progress “hand-in-hand” towards a bright, colourful future of happiness, health and hope. A positive perspective to accompany our “resolve!”

Hopefully, the psychological and visual reminders for betterment and change are enough incentive for us to meet expectations and goals set for our Spring Resolutions! Every success is complete, one step followed by another!

Adjustments in our routine happen on a daily basis, both planned and unplanned. A new year or a seasonal transition is an opportunity and not a requirement. The first day of Spring resolution is offered as a suggestion. It is not obligatory as a bare practitioner!

In summary, let’s be honest and real. Most people begin each and every year “resolved” to exercise, get fit, and lose weight. Generally, this “resolve” is very frustrating and doesn’t last long. Avoid the bad experience and all the ensuing negativity expressed. Spring Resolutions remove us from the “mad rush” at our local fitness center/gym. The massive crowds shrink in numbers and the attention, attitudes and outlook is more patient, positive and relaxed. A better environment offers a better chance for improvement and success!

October’s Bright Blue Weather

A bare practitioner couple, a mountain view!

October’s Bright Blue Weather

A poem by Helen Hunt Jackson

O suns and skies and clouds of June,

and flowers of June together,

Ye cannot rival for one hour,

October’s bright blue weather.

When loud the bumble-bee makes haste,

belated, thriftless, vagrant.

And golden-rod is dying fast,

and lanes with grapes are fragrant.

When gentians roll their fringes tight

to save them for the morning,

And chestnuts fall from satin burrs,

without a sound of warning;

When on the ground red apples lie

in piles like jewels shining,

And redder still on old stone walls

are leaves of woodbine twining;

When all the lovely wayside things

their white-winged seeds are sowing,

And in the fields, still green and fair,

late aftermaths are growing.

When springs run low, and on the brooks,

in idle golden freighting,

Bright leaves sink noiseless in the hush

of woods, for winter waiting;

When comrades seek sweet country haunts,

by twos and threes together,

And count like misers, hour by hour,

October’s bright blue weather.

O suns and skies and flowers of June,

count all your boasts together,

Love loveth best of all the year

October’s bright blue weather.

********** The End **********

About the author:

Helen Hunt Jackson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, on 15 October 1830 and died in San Francisco, California, on 12 August 1885. She was a U.S. poet and writer who became an activist for improved treatment of the Indigenous peoples by the USA national government.

Educational poetry:

My identical twin brother, Alex, and I were required to memorize the above poem in our 6th level class (primary) at the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind. Our teacher, who was one of our all-time favourites, used poetry to improve our English writing skills as well as our general comprehension of the English language. With our school located in Virginia and this poem reflected landscape and wild natural growths common to Massachusetts.

Unfortunately, there were no American Sign Language (ASL) manual signs for almost all the items, therefore, we had to fingerspell manually virtually the entire poem. Alex loved the poem but resented the fingerspelling aspect. He still remembers his remark that he felt as a child in kindergarten learning the ABC’s because of all the fingerspelling involved. As this was our first poem to memorize, our teacher always inspected every other poetic assignment to make certain fingerspelling didn’t dominate the process again.

An October, riverside!

Enjoy your last week of October’s Bright Blue Weather!

Autumn Adaptability!

Bromance in early autumn!

Since my last posting here, Bare/Dare Series, 2025! #3, the season of autumn has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere. No surprise that this happened. I’m certain the majority are probably now wondering: Doesn’t that fool know that autumn always follow summer?

Yes! This fool (myself) does indeed have that knowledge! However, it has only been recently (since I first met Aaron, my spouse) that I’ve received the ability to accept and embrace that change and positively proceed with life!

Prior to 2010 (the year that Aaron and I met, were attracted to each other, fell in love and then moved together under the same roof), I was unable to acknowledge the last of summertime and the start of autumn without offering a manual monologue (sign language) of profanities! I was so addicted and obsessed with summer and being comfortable that I reacted to the seasonal transition in an outrage followed by a major period of depression and frustration!

I publicly acknowledge and admit to my severe shortcoming regarding this issue. I also want to thank Aaron for patiently teaching me the prayer attributed to St. Francis of Assisi:

“Lord, grant me the ability to change what I can; the ability to accept what I cannot change; and the wisdom to know the difference!” ~ St. Francis of Assisi ~

Aaron, I’m grateful for your sharing of your Roman Catholic faith and encouraging my adherence to this prayer!

Thank you, Aaron! Happy autumn to all!

Beach Memories!

Bottoms-up! view!

Overview:

A brief and happy reminder of the visual delight and joy that the now rapidly evaporating Summer of 2025 (for those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere) and a planning guide for our next summer season!

For those residing in the Southern Hemisphere, a brief view of the upcoming seasonal adventure along with some thoughts. Enhance your summer and enjoy your “natural” nakedness in the sand and surf!

A shoreline with incoming surf!
A bare embrace!

The above images of the Summer of 2025 were taken from the internet this very summer to illustrate the season of sun, surf and simple pleasure the beach brings to the majority of bare practitioners the world over! As a reminder that the concept of “summer fun” isn’t a recent phenomenon, other nostalgic pictures are offered below!

Many “fashionable” clothes-conscious people always seem to be completely baffled as to why there are those who enjoy and thrive in the act of skinny-dipping (swimming naked). It isn’t anything “new!” As a matter of fact, swimsuits didn’t actually appear until the reign of Queen Victoria in the 1800s! They gained popularity and became an aspect of “fashion” in the early 1900s. For centuries, humanity would engage in the sport of swimming in the same way they had for centuries – in their skin!

They may have segregated themselves by gender after various religions entered the picture but for the purpose of aquatic activity, covering wasn’t considered a necessity. Swimming was for fun and relaxation, not a showcase for fashion!

A couple of bare practitioners, early 1950s!
Sicilians, late 1800s!
Vulnerable feet!

Therefore, before we accuse, alienate and assign blame, we should remember a little of our history and remain calm. Accept what we are unable to change; after all, we are powerless to alter what has already happened.

Our bold spokesmodel, Phoenix Fellington, flaunts himself and the incoming surf!

Thoughts:

Those of us who are bare practitioner advocates and enthusiasts have often encountered situations where we were criticized for our memorable shoreline involvement. Too often we are confronted and judged by how we relate among ourselves and to how we react and recollect our “day at the beach!”

There exists within our broader society a common ideal that “patience is a virtue.” Similarly, tolerance is considered exemplary!

The same reminder is applicable to those who harshly degrade us because of our appreciation and preference for our nakedness! Their “flair for fashion” predilection is in no way superior to our status. All of us are equally entitled to our own expressions. If our choices aren’t identical and/or compatible, we should all respect one another and our differences and move forward together.

Our acceptance and recognition of what we share – the beach – is paramount. How we engage in it is relatively unimportant!

Tranquility!

Naked hugs!

Countdown!

Contemplation!

The official end-of-summer is fast approaching! This is the next-to-the-last weekend of the official summer season of 2025! The final days are upon us as it is practically over. Make every moment both memorable and remarkable as we, who live in the Northern Hemisphere prepare to bid a farewell to one more period of comfort, warmth and extended days of sunlight.

To all our bare practitioner soulmates who reside in the Southern Hemisphere, prepare for your turn in the bliss of your approaching days of outdoor freedom and fun!

To all, best wishes for a very happy, healthy, safe and successful weekend!

Bottoms-Up! August, 2025!

Arm-in-arm, buttocks in line!

It seems like only yesterday that we were bidding Bottoms-Up! July, 2025! Yet here we are again offering the same for the month of August! This entire season appears to have developed a skill in flying away no matter where we live! This is also the final Bottoms-Up! post entry here for the Summer of 2025! We all join together to thank our individual pairs of buttocks for the wonderful experience!

Bottoms-up! flotation device!

Our body and clothes freedom comrade (above) has no qualm about posing his buttocks while floating in his local lake. Why should he? It involves nothing complex, he’s just sharing his skin!

A rooftop pool? Ideal for bottoms-up anyday!

Bare buttocks! Bare feet! All bare all over! If we can “do it” on bottoms-up! day, we should enjoy the possibility of sharing ourselves with all every day! All year long!

All within reach!

Body and clothes freedom is our joy and pleasure, not only during the month of August and the season of summer, but throughout the entire year – every – year!

Open arms!

The bromantic couple above open their arms together in order to embrace one another and the entire month of August and all year!

Naked hugs!
