The first of January, 2016. For the first time in a few years we actually were awake when the New Year arrived in our corner of the world. I continued the tradition of not making any resolutions. It’s enough that I am still here, still breathing, and still being present as much as I can with each moment that appears. Yet, I do have desires, goals of sorts, that lay in front of me. And, I have expectations that are…
It has been a long time since my last post. Most of my time has been spent with this year’s NaNoWriMo project. I had decided to rewrite the third volume of my autobiography. I have changed it from a first person rendition to the third person as was done with the first two volumes. Of course, that meant using the pseudonym Benjamin as was the case for those first two books. Now, it feels like the book belongs with the…
As the week drew to an end, we made the decision to stay one more week. My wife’s foot was still to sore to enjoy being a tourist. Other than the trip to Estepona and across the street to either of the two decent grocery stores, all of my time has been spent nude at Costa Natura. My wife has had more nude time than I have had during the past ten days as I did the grocery shopping and…
We have finished walking the Camino de Santiago del Compostela, an 800 kilometre trek across northern Spain. It took us forty-two days of hiking to complete it. The final two days of walking was done while it was raining. It was still raining when we picked up the document proving we had completed the Camino. It finally stopped raining and we stripped off all of our clothing to dry them out. We wore quick-dry clothing as a necessity since they…
It has been weeks since my last post here at Naturist Lens. We have spent so much of the time since then with visits and activities with our children and grandchildren. We are now home and my wife is back at work at the nursing home. Today, our neighbour from two doors down wanted my help with her desktop computer that was upstairs in her house. As always, I said I would be there in a short while to take…
It has been a good day though it did get off to a dreary start. I delayed meditation until almost eleven o’clock when the sun finally came out. I chose to stay at home and enjoy the day and write more of the story-in-progress rather than drive two hours to visit our naturist friends near Battleford who host social nudist events on their acreage called Pair-a-Dice Acres. I have written about them before, here – We Are the Nude Bunnock…
The lawns are done. I did all the back lawn, as well as the trimming in the nude. Next I picked raspberries before heading to the store. I picked raspberries at our neighbour’s after a trip to the grocery store. To be honest, I wasn’t nude the whole time I picked raspberries. I wore shorts most of the time and only took them off long enough to get a few raspberry picking photos such as this photo. I put the…
This afternoon, I decided to mow the lawn, fully in the nude for the whole back yard and clothed for the front yard. Then, I began to take off a few fence boards in our backyard, also in the nude, so that I could begin work on straightening the fence that our immediate neighbour to the west knocked askew when she backed into it with a truck sometime last year. I won’t be able to do all the fence work…
I chose this photo today, a scene from our time spent at Green Haven. The image was taken before another permanent resident of the naturist site came over to have a cup of coffee with my wife and I. He is definitely one of the walking wounded who make the place home. I didn’t get a photo with him as I don’t care to break community rules regarding photography. My mother was often suffering headaches, was often pregnant, and had…
As my last post indicated, we had been camping at Green Haven Sun Club. What it didn’t mention was that I had left home to go there while in a depressive state. I needed to have healing time, something that comes to me largely through sunshine, quietness, and nudity. I guess the best way to describe it is a mixture of alchemy and air. The sun acts like a cooking flame to reduce the rigidity of the psyche, to make…
