[...] This is the second time tonight I've felt the edge approach. Once before, I chose to stay there, hovering in the almost, content with the warmth of remaining. But this time, I do not hover at the edge. I do not hold back. [...] #TheTroubleWithRosie #AWeekendInEden

People sometimes ask me where my characters come from. The truth is, I don't create them. I simply spend time with them until they decide to introduce themselves. #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #WomenWhoWrite #TheTroubleWithRosie #BlackAndWhitePhotography #AgingRebel #RomyHarel

There comes a point in life when you stop asking whether you have permission to be yourself. You simply go for a walk. Preferably naked on a beach. #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #WomenWhoWrite #AgingRebel #BodyAcceptance #BlackAndWhitePhotography #RomyHarel

This is the kind of scene I have in mind when I write. If I were a film director, this is what I'd try to create all the time: beautiful bodies moving with tenderness and grace; beautiful compositions, emotions, joy, and pleasure. Sex is life, and this video is absolutely beautiful.

She's so beautiful I had to repost

I have reached the age where I no longer undress to be admired. I undress because my body has carried me this far, and that seems reason enough to let it meet the sun. #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #WomenWhoWrite #AgingRebel #BlackAndWhitePhotography #BodyAcceptance #NudeArt #RomyHarel

I spent the weekend at Marcia's country house. I knew we were going to have a great time the moment Marcia opened the door. #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #WomenWhoWrite #AgingRebel #BodyAcceptance #SapphicFiction #QueerArt #BlackAndWhitePhotography #TheTroubleWithRosie #RomyHarel

Some mornings you just walk to the water as you are. No costume, no audience, no apologies. Just sun on skin and the quiet. #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #Unfiltered #NoApologies #AgingFearlessly #ComfortableInMySkin #TakeUpSpace

The skin remembers everything. Every love, every loss, every winter. I'm still learning who I am beneath it all. #NonSexualNudity #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #SilverHairWisdom #BodyAsArchive #AgingIsBecoming #SelfPortrait #ElderWoman #IdentityUnfolding #LifeLines #NudeArt #WisdomInSkin

I was told adulthood would eventually make sense. I am beginning to suspect this was a rumour. #RomyHarel #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #WomenWhoWrite #WomenOfBluesky #BlackAndWhitePhotography #NonSexualNudity #AgingRebel #Wonder #Curiosity #Stories

For most of my life, I believed strength meant carrying my own weight. I am beginning to suspect it also means knowing when you don't have to. #RomyHarel #WomenWhoWrite #AgingRebel #WomenOfBluesky #BlackAndWhitePhotography #ContemporaryDance #Trust #HumanConnection #NonSexualNudity #ArtPhotography

A dancer's first language is not movement. It is space. #NonSexualNudity #ContemporaryDance #DancePhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #ArtPhotography #HumanForm #WomenInArt #BodyAcceptance #RomyHarel #WomenWhoWrite

I thought growing older would feel different. More dramatic. More definitive. Mostly it feels like waking up one morning and realizing I no longer have the energy to pretend. #RomyHarel #WomenWhoWrite #AgingRebel #BodyAcceptance #ArtisticNude #StillBecoming #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie

I have a strange desire. Not for a date. Not for a lover. For a playful, free, erotic correspondence with a lesbian or queer woman who loves words as much as desire. No expectations. Just the pleasure of writing. If you're tempted, DM me. #RomyHarel #WomenWhoWrite #SapphicStories #QueerWowen

Growing older has many advantages. Giving fewer fucks is one of them. #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #RomyHarel #AgingRebel #WomenWhoWrite #VisibleAtFiftySeven #StillHere #BlackAndWhitePhotography

The older I get, the less interested I am in hiding. #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #RomyHarel #WomenWhoWrite #AgingBoldly #SilverHair

I am no longer becoming. I am. #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #RomyHarel #WomenWhoWrite #SilverHair #MatureBeauty

I worry about the characters I create. I love them dearly. But they still insist on making a mess of their lives. #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #MyCharactersDriveMeCrazy #SapphicStories #FictionWriter #NonSexualNudity #RomyHarel

I spend less time these days asking who I am. The years answer that question for me. I am learning the difference between growing older and becoming myself. #AgingRebel #WomenOfBluesky #BlackAndWhitePhotography #QuietMornings #WomenWhoWrite #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie #RomyHarel

I WAS THINKING about all the women I loved. The ones I love now. About how, as I grow older, everything feels better. More precious than ever. And about all the stories that still live in my mind. #PenLife #OlderWomen #StillHere #BlackAndWhitePhotography #CreatorOfTheTroubleWithRosie

IT'S A GOOD DAY TO BE NUDE IN THE SUN 300+ followers. Thank you for being here. Now go outside and enjoy the sunshine. Clothed... or not! #BodyFreedom #AgingBoldly #WomenOver50 #FineArtPhotography #BlackAndWhitePhotography #QueerEroticaAuthor #RomyHarel

I WAS TRYING to pose quietly for a photograph. Unfortunately, two women in my imagination have just opened what appears to be a psychological Pandora's box. So much for a peaceful morning. #WritingLife #WomenWhoWrite #NewCharacter #Storytelling #PsychologicalFiction #LiteraryFiction #RomyHarel

THERE ARE DAYS when the sun feels less like light and more like a lover. It lingers. It touches. It asks for nothing. And somehow leaves me smiling anyway. #ArtNude #MatureBeauty #BodyPositive #SunWorshipper #BlackAndWhitePhotography #AgingBoldly #BoldAndBeautiful #RomyHarel

I LIVE A SIMPLE LIFE. I spend my days sunbathing in the nude, writing soft queer erotica, and enjoying your likes. And if my nude body can bring a little joy and pleasure into this all-too-often gloomy world, that's perfectly fine with me. Thank you for being here. #ArtNude #RomyHarel

I take good care of myself so I age well 😊 #BodyConfidence #EroticArt #OlderAndBeautiful #FemaleDesire #TakingGoodCareOfOneself #HowToHaveBeautifulSkinAtAnyAge

B&W beauty

Bacchanales !!! 😘😍🥰❤️

Sometimes the sea reminds me of the stage. The same wind on my skin. The same strange feeling of freedom moving through my body. #RomyHarel #Freedom #PerformanceArt #BodyAcceptance #WomenInArt #BlackAndWhitePhotography #SeaAndSkin

It’s been a few days since I shared a picture of myself. I thought maybe some of you would enjoy this quiet little moment by the water. #RomyHarel #FineArtPortrait #MonochromeMood #ArtPhotography #AgingWithGrace #QuietBeauty #PortraitMood
