I’ve been getting a lot of sunshine these past few days. For a few days, I got to do some nude sunbathing as I mentioned in a previous post. For the past two days, I got to do some nude frolicking in the surf near the same spot as I went sunbathing. Frolicking might not be the best descriptor – being battered around by the powerful surf is a more apt description. My wife and I call the event “free,…
We have been walking in Olón, Ecuador, beach walking We haven’t walked the full distance yet. To the north, I am guessing that it is about round trip hike of about 16 km from our casa. To the south, about a 4 km round trip hike. For the past two days, we have walked 10 km per day. The other days, just 8 km hikes. We may extend our average hikes to 12 kilometres later on during our stay, but if we don’t…
I have just come back from an eight kilometre walk along the beach. We are starting off slowly with a shorter distance as neither of us are quite up to speed yet after all the flying and wasting time in airports. Of course, I wasn’t able to walk while nude. This is a no no in Ecuador. Because of that, I am restricted to wearing a swimming brief that is tan through in design – Kiniki brand. Since the brief…
Well, we are finally here in Olon. It took longer than I had planned, but the end result is sunshine and warm temperatures not far from the Equator. There are two windows which have window seats. I can already tell that this might become my go-to writing corner. We are closer to the beach than last year, about one block – short block – away, all on a sandy path. And, it is many, many times quieter. Our journey was…
I’m in Red Deer, Alberta visiting at my son’s home. He is our youngest and is father to our three youngest grandchildren. We arrived yesterday afternoon, much to the joy of the grandchildren while our son was still at work. It was time for games and playtime. When we woke this morning around six in the morning, I didn’t waste time putting on the coffee as there wasn’t going to be much time before everyone woke to see what was…
I woke up, as usual, in the dark. At most times of the year, it would already be daylight at the same time of day, here on the Canadian prairies. Since today is the official day for the Winter Solstice, this only makes sense – the longest night and the shortest day here in the northern hemisphere. It’s not the friendliest time of the year for humans. Like many others, I have been putting links to help lines on various…
Well, yesterday’s post caused a shift in reader response, both here and on other Social Media platforms. Generally, the response was very positive. One response, however, was challenging. It happens when an idea challenges one’s belief system. Why do we so readily dismiss other ideas? Still, that response had me think hard about body acceptance. Just what does that mean – body acceptance? From a naturist point of view, it appears to mean that we are uncritical of the appearance of…
I once again find myself writing here, wondering at the same time, why do I do this? Why do I write a blog post, especially on a site that is really not one that has a significant readership? Why do I place photos of myself in these posts? Obviously, it can’t be mostly about being an exhibitionist, though there is a bit of that in every blog post written by most people regardless of whether they are naturists, nudists, or…
It’s cold outside. I mean, it is very cold outside. Think of -17 Celsius with a brisk breeze that makes it feel like -27 and you get a good idea of what cold looks like. Naturally, aside from going to the bank and post office, it has been a day for staying inside, staying nude. For me, being a writer, that is a win-win situation, especially as I have had no time for writing for almost a week. I have…
It’s a good day. This morning has been busy, beginning with a six kilometre walk in the countryside with my wife. Of course, we both wore winter clothing as it is winter on the Canadian prairies. Back at home following our walk, I was able to get into some serious editing work. I have given the second edit to Chapter Three of the Father Time book, as well as about two-thirds of Chapter Four. In the last post, I included book links…
