Naked !

During July we had a bloggers meetup in Hell's Canyon, Eastern Oregon iMBC2012 . On our last day in Joseph, Oregon I was systematically packing my bike getting ready to leave. It was very early, before 6am. Everything has its place and I thought that I had gathered everything but at the last moment I decided to check the fridge as I nearly forgot that I had put a beverage in there. It is my normal practice to scan the room for missed items before I vacate my room and I have forgotten things in the fridge before. Imagine my surprise when I noticed something that I thought belonged to someone else.

I chuckled to myself before I realized that perhaps it was directed at me, for some unknown reason. The day before all of us had elected to take a non-riding day, relax and just get to know each other better. We spent the afternoon perched in our chairs under the shade of a large tree to escape the heat.

Pure Naked, I've never seen this brand before. Every time I look at this label I smile and think that it may have a secondary, hidden meaning. What was I supposed to do with it ? Who left it there ? Was it left on purpose, or was it left for me to enjoy. So I thought that I would not consume it on the road, but rather bring it home with me so I could enjoy it the way it was supposed to be enjoyed . . .

      Hot and sweaty, or cool and air-dried, which do you think is better ?

      sometimes I can be shy, and sometimes not. You never know. Sometimes I upload the shy photos to my gallery but just don't link them

  3. Where's the smile? There should be a big, happy smile in that last image.

      Posing naturally is serious business. My smiling photos show too much "detail", and you know I embarrass easily

    2. It was supposed to be a candid shot. Smiles work in candid shots...

      OKay, if no one's looking I can strip down and snap another one later . . .

      easier said than done, but one day I plan to show up unexpectedly. Do you trust me with a machette ?

      nothing dangerous, only a coconut milk beverage . . . hits the spot on a warm summer day

      I am unpredictable, you never know what to expect when you visit here. Your heart may be stronger than you think, and I have posted nearly naked photos before

      glad you liked it. It's all smoke & mirrors. Photography is sometimes an illusion
