Bottoms-Up! July, 2024!

Footprints and buttocks!

The first full month of the summer of 2024 is now coming to an end. Hopefully, it has been a month of fun with a multitude of bare “bottoms” available for us all to admire! Capture the moments as we all know, summer doesn’t last forever!

Bottoms-up! strolling!

Clothing optional beaches are among the best places to view bare buttocks! Either walking around taking inventory as to what is available or passively absorbing the rays from the sun, bare buttocks and the bodies they are attached to are always plentiful!

Bottoms-up! grille chef!

The beaches aren’t the only locales to inspect bottoms-up! compliance. Many chefs opt for the bare buttocks role when labouring over a hot grill, especially in the direct sunlight!

Buttocks with a tan-line!

Tan-line: the grim reality that not all of us enjoy the luxury of accessible nudity!

Bottoms-up! nature trail!

Bare practitioner hiking along nature trails provide us with many exceptional opportunities for bottoms-up! observations, as well as a healthier heart!

Hanging out the laundry!

Hygienic laundry hanging allows us the chance to enjoy the bottoms-up! experience, but simultaneously to share our pleasure with others looking to do the same!

Bare buttocks = bottoms-up!

Naked hugs!

Photo-Essay: Clarifications!

Aligned to cooperate!

Typical to the entire naturist/nudist community and culture: the approach of another summer season in the Northern Hemisphere renews the “great debate” over the labels and terms that we use to describe ourselves. My personal feeling? I don’t think the debate will ever resolve and this disagreement will last until the end of time.

Confusion surrounds what some purists (perfectionists) continuously argue as appropriate/inappropriate (good/poor) terminology.

Naked?

Nude?

Naturist?

Bare?

Body freedom?

Clothes freedom?

Natural?

Sunbathing!

I prefer sunbathing bare.

Beach visitors!

In the summer, we’d rather be natural!

Posing!

I am standing naked in the sunlight!

Skinny-dipping!

I enjoy the water nude!

SYNONYMOUS? INTERCHANGEABLE?

Shading his eyes!

I’d rather wear nothing whatsoever!

Naked hugs!

Nudescapes: A Collection #3

Author’s Note: Last summer, I published two posts here on “nudescapes” (nude + landscape or seascape). To visit those two, click on the title: Nudescape: A Collection or the second, Nudescapes: A Collection #2. This post is a continuation in this series.

The lens of a camera is, upon reflection, nothing more than a substitute for the canvas and brush of an artist. It is an image, captured in a precise moment in time, that conveys to us the viewer a message from either the artist or the photographer. It is up to us, the viewer (“beholder”) to accept the view and the message or to reject it. Photography, like any other work of art, depends upon the acceptance and appreciation of the viewer.
