Day36

Taking photos like this one requires confidence from both the model and the photographer. Is it naturist or boudoir, some might call it glamour and we all know what the prudes would call it.

I suppose it depends on you point of view and wether you think that showing a naked body is OK as long as you dont show the intimate bits. I think that thrusting poses are closer to porn than this one. A relaxed model in a natural pose I think of as art. A model pulling herself apart to show her innards doesn't look relaxed.

Some people get turned on by showing their partners nude pictures, while others would have hysterics at a flash of upper thigh. I like to show Maja off, but am only turned on by what we do in private.

Day35

When you are taking photos of your other half or even of a hired model, always make sure they are happy posing nude and understand what you might want to do with the pictures.

Day34

We dont have to go out to take outdoor nude pictures, This was taken out at Woodhouse in the Charnwood forest. But I could take similar in my drive if I arrange it right.

Day33

If you take nude pictures of your own partners and would like to show them to some people, but dont want them to see the "Naughty bits" you could look at pictures like this one. You might even be able to show them to your workmates and make them jealous.

Day32

By the heck, this grass needs cutting and our gardener has retired. Like me his health was making it difficult.

Day31

If you are lucky enough countryside like this might be within your daily exercise distance. Unfortunately it is not within mine, this was taken a while ago at Candy Farm.

Day30

As daytime TV becomes more desperate, there is no substitute for a good book.

But whatever you do, stick to the lockdown laws. People think it only affects them if they go out, but it doesn't. The more people ignoring the social distancing puts more people out in public and more people out there the greater the chance of a second wave of the virus.

Day29

When we're allowed out again, a great naturist activity is canoeing. When I say canoeing I don't mean those short, pointy, wet, things. A better choice is what most will think of as a Canadian Canoe, in the canoeing community it's known as an Open Canoe.

You can see from the pics that they make a good wind break as well.

Day28

Why is it that the bathing suit is acceptable and the lack of one isn't?
Maja's nipples are clearly visible in both and although they don't show up in the photo, her pubic hair can be seen through the suit. There are even more revealing swimsuits and bikinis that are only like boot laces and cover almost nothing. They have got smaller since the advent of shaving and the tops only cover the smallest of areoles, the bigger ones often show around them.

Day27

When the temperature rises, you can slip out in the garden if it's secluded enough.

Day26

If you are lucky you might have your own swimming pool and there's nothing to stop you skinny dipping, apart from the weather.

This one belonged to a friend of ours in Germany. I have this picture as my wallpaper on my mobile.

Day25

As the lockdown wears on, getting creative can be an option.
For photographers there are many options. One to try if you have photoshop or similar is manipulating your pics or making a montage. Put your models pic in front of a view of the houses of Parliament, sunbathing on the wing of a flying plane etc.

Or just mix and match your own photos.

A breast inverted (thats turned to negative) makes a good planet

 Play with hair, I tried to make Maja's hair longer, but it looked like she'd just come in from a downpour. It's obvious that the sky is false, but it doesn't matter. It is only a practice piece.

Maja in a dress which stretched out and with the light behind becomes see through. Knee deep in PS greenery and with a the planet Breast behind her. A bit of silliness, but fun and time consuming.

A funny story about that dress. It was a particularly hot period when she had it and she took to wearing it for work, with nothing underneath. She said it felt really cool and a little exciting because she'd never gone to work without underwear before.  While at work, her boss had to look at something on her computer. As he stood alongside her, he suddenly became very flustered and hurried away. We guessed he had suddenly seen through to what was (or wasn't) beneath the dress. I wish I could find her another one or two of them, but no-one seems to sell them any more.

Day24

Another weekend with some sunshine, fortunately it is a bit cooler so we probably wouldn't have gone to a beach anyway. So if it gets warmer it will be gardens again.

While writing this, I was listening to the Virus update and particularly the difficulty obtaining protective clothing and it occurred to me, Why not use Engineering and food industry overalls. There must be millions of then sitting on shelves gathering dust.

Day23

STAY AT HOME!!

Day22

I have been asked about Erections at a naturist club. Any experienced naturist wit tell you - Yes it does happen usually with new naturists. Older naturist still occasionally suffer from it, but in most of those cases it is the sun and the open air that cause it rather than excitement at the sight of a member of the opposite sex.

A description I heard many years ago, from a first timer. "We got on the beach and there were naked women everywhere, I didn't know who to look at for the best. After a couple of days we were settling down and treating the beach as people treat the clothed beaches." Basically once past the first few, it all becomes normal and your erections will lessen.

We should remember though that women have the same sort of feelings, in the majority of cases we cant see the reaction and in all cases we shouldn't be looking at the place that most reveals it. Erect nipple may or may not be due to excitement, a wet vagina is more positive, but a woman would need to be very wet for it to show up.

Day21

Are you climbing the walls with boredom, feeling cabin fever, What can you do to pass the time.

Reading, writing, DIY etc. be careful with DIY you dont want to add to the NHS burden. How about a bit of gardening, maybe the hedge needs trimming ...

Day20

I was thinking last night about the testing of frontline staff everyone seems to have an opinion about it and I wonder what is the panic?

Suppose a nurse working on the frontline is tested and does not have the virus, what do we gain from that?

We know she/he was clear at the time of the test. That nurse could then walk out onto the ward and contract the virus from the next patient he/she treats.

What I'm saying is, the test IS NOT A CURE or a vaccine. it is only a snapshot of the person's health at the time it was taken and within minutes could be out of date. In fact he/she could have the virus before his/her test sample reaches the laboratory to be tested, but the test result would still say negative.

We need to concentrate on curing the virus not finding out if someone was free of it yesterday.

So wash your hands, keep away from others and when you can shower with or without your partner. I'm told the virus doesn't like heat so a good sauna might help.

Day19

We're staying indoors and away from others, well done everybody.
But how do we pass the time?

I've just seen a picture of a kayaker sitting in his boat with his paddles and facing a picture of a Scottish loch, lots of others are pitching their tents in their gardens, lighting their camp stoves or bbqs and making a brew. others are camping out overnight, we could do that and we dont need clothes to do it.

Bikers are polishing their Motorbikes and doing the mods they never had time for. Many are doing the DIY around the home, you know the things your wife wanted you to do.

I'm sorting my photos into categories, The wildlife ones are taking the longest and I've got a blurb to write for my new book "Manticore" then I can put it on Amazon.
There's lots of things we can find to do if we think about it, I wish I were back in my late twenties, Maja and myself would be wearing the bed out and between times taking more nude photos, Because of digital you dont need to have them processed.

Feel free to add your own suggestions on the comments.

Day18

Boris is out of hospital and recuperating at Chequers and Britain's deaths passed the 10,000. So much for Trump's "it's just a little cold." 

Apparently most people are sticking to the rules and staying home over Easter. There will always be some who think the rules are there to be broken, the problem is they usually get away with it while others suffer.

I was speaking to my brother earlier, he's getting all the jobs around the house, that he's been putting off, done and because he is alone and it is hot he's working nude. As he said no-one will be coming round.

 

Day17

Unless you are very lucky, nude hikes are off the agenda for sometime to come. Some of us can get to somewhere to walk nude, have their exercise and get home within the allowed time and good luck to you. It seems the vast majority of the population are following the emergency laws - well done.

Day16

Well the Easter holiday has started, the sun is shining and we have to stay indoors if we dont want to risk illness or even death.
We can sit in our gardens if we have one. If yours is overlooked, you could use a beach type windbreak so you cant be seen getting your all over tan. To fill the time you could read, there a millions of books available and if you dont want to risk having a delivery, use an ereader. The books arrive by internet so there is no contact and there is an enormous choice.

Look on Amazon for John Gwynant (that's my pen name) and you will find novels on various genres. Some, like the "Unremarkable Couple" and the "Remarkable Couple" feature a Naturist club (in a good light).
If you want a good laugh try "Ramblin Jack's Bawdy Tales" or Sci-Fi with "Rubil Acxe"

Whatever you choose, dont be tempted to go out and meet people - you could get ill or arrested.

Day15

I'm sort of glad I don't have this Moke anymore, I'd be really itching to go for a drive. It was even better with a Co-driver like Maja, how I wish we could live in a moment of time and not get older.

Day14

We have at least another week of lockdown, I expect a lot more. So we should stay indoors and enjoy our Photos and if we don't have them, enjoy others that are on the net, if you can find your way through the porn that  claims to be naturism.

There apparently are others like mine, that don't require names etc so you can view them anonymously. If you have pictures and want to share them with just a few friends there are blogs such as blogger where you can restrict access to those you name. So you can set up your own Blog.

If you don't mind who sees them, you can contribute to blogs like this one, or create your own. If you do create your own, let me know the address and I will publicise it for you (if that is what you want) you can contact me through comments and I will email you privately.

It is one way to share Naturism while we stay safe from the virus.

Day13

Exercise while we can, I dont know if this qualifies in the government's eyes as allowable exercise, probably not because we would have to drive to the river. But we can look back on better times (sorry the focus isn't the best).

Day12

Whatever your political persuasion, I'm sure we all wish Boris Johnson "Get Well Soon" It is a shock having the P.M. in hospital in the middle of a world wide emergency.

Interesting that 24 million watched the Queen's speech last night, there is an answer to anyone who says she is irrelevant in the modern world. 24 million cant all be wrong.

Day11

Thanks James for your suggestions, does anyone else fancy an online nude meet.

Day10

I'd suggest we have an online virtual naturist meet, but I dont know how to connect cameras.

Day9

This is the hard part, all this isolating and stopping at home appears to be doing nothing. But that is the Danger, we cant see anything happening and we haven't caught anything. So we become complacent and start having friends round for coffee or going out to a motorcycle meeting etc.

DONT DO IT, THE KILLER IS STILL THERE WAITING FOR A CHANCE TO GET YOU!!!

You might think you'll be ok, but you are at risk of killing your family and friends.

Day8

if you are feeling lonely, you can use the comments box to talk to me. I will reply to genuine people.

Day7

From years ago, so no need for 6ft gap.
