This shot goes way back to my married days and our place on Lake Norman. No makeup base on so my facial scar shows though faintly in this light. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #artnude #nudemodel #outdoor #naturism

I am feeling more "at home" - we have Grey Tree Frogs here (and Spring Peepers I understand)....

in the latter case I don't know if it's original to the Eastern Band even though they make it.

Have you ever gone outside naked in a thunderstorm? In hail? Before today yes to the former, no to the latter. Until today that is... it was cold. And the hail stung. Marked that off the list - don't need to repeat. Liz came with me, Jia had too much common sense bless her heart. A hot >>>>

Today we had one heck of a thunderstorm go through. I expected to see storms that would look small and distant from up here - nothing like this...

Nice view of the crescent Moon and Venus off the patio last night well after sunset. I have similar views in VA but here you are looking down on mountain ranges instead of looking up at them. The milky way is to far to the south from this view but we should have great views of it this fall.

So what am I missing? Trump's speech on elections claimed again that he is the victim - but his "declassified" documents show that Russia has run influence operations to help him get elected every time he has run... And why? What is Russia getting for this investment... Nato weakened? Yeah.

I need a logo for my letterhead that I will use from this place. Might want to make some kind of sign. I honestly don't know if it is actually egotistical to name this place partially after me. That's what it's like being ND. I made these with something called open art - it's an AI program - >>>

This is the American Dream I grew up with. We have never been perfect. But we can get back on the right direction. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pji...

This gentle ballad is a depiction of nature but also a protest song. America is parched right now - the American spirit, American generosity, American values, have dried up under the scorching "sun" of an "America First" that means politicians and the rich first >>> www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxH9...

The bird population is different here in the high Smokies than at 2800 feet in the Virginia Appalachians. I will miss Mockingbirds here, but there is a local bird that has a variety of calls and sounds like a group of different birds "talking" to each other - the Yellow Breasted Chat. Don't see >>

I was being kind of coy on the porch of my cottage in the Appalachians of Virginia.... #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #coy #outdoor #naturism #glamour

Took this photo of the sunset from the smaller loft bedroom while Jia was flying the drone getting the photo of the cabin. I really like this bedroom. I don't need a huge amount of space around me. I like to "nest". But sometimes I like to sleep on the couch or a recliner in the living room >>>>

I have a neurodiverse way of "negotiating" for something. You tell me what you want for it and I don't counter offer. I just let it be known that my decision will be made based on the price you quote. Funny how, totally unintentionally on my part, this gets folks to sweating and reducing the price

Have to start shopping for a winter vehicle for my new place in the Smokies. I will depend on Forest Service roads. I'm going to spend some time taking meals at the sort of local mom and pop places and asking for advice. Hope to have Solar in before winter.

I was telling Jia that the only view I could really get of the cabin with the view to the west was on the northwest side. So bless her heart she bought a drone and brought it down. We were standing in one of the upstairs bedroom windows waving like fools at the thing not realizing that the sky

Won't be needing my trusty Deere tractor up at the new place but it will still have plenty of work at my place in Virginia. I'll be splitting time between VA and NC and stopping in NC on all of my visits to SC.

We took a drive / hike down the mountain below my place. If you look closely you will see a white V on the upper left of this image. This designates where my place is on the ridge. There is a round nob to the right (North) of my place - this was the backdrop for the photo the other day of Liz and I.

"Home of my Soul" is a ballad about how I feel in the mountains whether in Virginia or North Carolina. The parts where I hum are based in Native American melodies. #MusicSky #Musicians #IndependentArtist #ArtistSky #Music #NewMusic #NowPlaying #NowListening www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmxM...

Just checkin' myself out in the mirror #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #mirror #glamour

A bonus image - I'm going to be really busy today and may not be "around" much til this evening. Also from back in my married days. Just goofing around. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #shoes #artnude #nudemodel

Another photo from back in my married days. Just a snap shot really. I was just being nude as often happens. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #artnude #nudeart #nudemodel

A fun rockin' country song you all might enjoy - "You Better Know How to Two Step". The band really enjoyed making this one. #countrymusic #country-music #MusicSky #Musicians #IndependentArtist #ArtistSky #Music #NewMusic #NowPlaying #Now #NowListening www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Us9...

Oh - there's gigabit internet here. How cool is that. I can "work from home" right here in the cabin. Outstanding.

Interesting - from my property in Virginia it is an easy walk to the Appalachian Trail. From the property I'm buying in North Carolina it's more of a hike but still close by.

Among those of you who have paid any attention to my youtube channel, I wonder whether you prefer my Windlass, Polyjamory, Flying Solo, or Country Ways albums (playlists).... or just mix and match... Country Ways is a work in progress.

When Liz and I were together before, I was engaged, and then married. That did not bother her as we were open about the relationships. I've been discussing polyamory with her and she gets it as a result. Now if only Jia will accept that polyamory goes both ways - she has Gregor. We can still be >>>>

For the foreseeable future I'm going to keep my main address and domicile in Virginia if nothing else my vote will make a bigger difference in this state than in NC. (Unless that changes). Also closer to DC here but I can also handle my business in Charlotte which is pretty much the same drive time.

I did not have a tripod with me so I had to make one out of branches tied together for this. This is the view of Liz and I looking to the north from the property I'm buying. The peak in the distance is a part of the same ridge >>> #amateur #models #nude #together #outdoor #mountains #nature

North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee also either have reciprocity with Virginia or Constitutional Carry so I can carry concealed there as well as in VA and there is no problem traveling with firearms or shooting or hunting on your own property.

I posted a different take of our song Country Ways on my youtube channel. This one is more of an "outlaw country" style. >>>> #Country #CountryMusic #OutlawCountry #MusicSky #Musicians #IndependentArtist #ArtistSky #Music #NewMusic #NowPlaying #Now Listening www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwQj...

You never know what the future holds, but my current feeling is that the cottage in the VA Appalachians is going to continue to feel like "home", this cabin in WNC is going to feel like "second home".

This place is built like a cabin but larger. There are some things I would have done differently if I were designing this place but all in all I like it. I like the open kitchen, dining, great room area (pictured). The big porches are off to the left and right sides of this view, smaller porch >>>>

I have decided to buy this place. The sun is setting over Tennessee. The cabin is located at 5228ft elevation. There are porches on three sides with views all around. It has geothermal heat pumps, fireplaces and gas heat. I will want to add solar. It was being used as a luxury rental. The

Don't think I've ever really explained this before here. I've been going around nude randomly since I was a kid. To me being clothed or nude makes no difference. It's not sexual, I'm not trying to seduce anyone. It's just a part of who I am. And being photographed nude is not something that >>>>

"Country Ways" is the title song of my "Country Ways" playlist on my youtube channel. It's a bluesy country number great for a slow two step. We had to jam this one >>> #country #blues #MusicSky #Musicians #IndependentArtist #ArtistSky #Music #NewMusic #NowPlaying www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TWR...

This photo was taken last September, at the lake where I first met Jia. By Jia of course. She kept pointing that camera at me so I started to try to look like beach glamour I suppose. I was hamming it up. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #beachnude #beach #outdoor #outdoors #naturism #artnude

I've sat just like this since I was a kid. Folded up, compact. Some research says that patterns of sitting like this are neurodiverse - I don't know. I'm 5'9 but looking compact here. Leaving in a few minutes to drive to VA via WNC. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #artnude #nudemodel #nudeart #B&W

Since I've had a re-union with my first girlfriend Liz, a photo taken of us together by my ex... #amateur #model #models #nude #nsfw #artnude #sapphic #B&W

Well this time around with Windlass is coming to an end tonight. Heading out tomorrow to drive up through the SC Upcountry into NC. I'm going to be staying a night or two at the cabin I'm interested in buying up in the WNC Smokies. Then driving back up to my cottage in VA. I need to come down >>>

It's been great catching up with Liz. We were friends from our early teens through our college days. Liz brought me a photo - an old faded and worn 4x6 print of me at 13. I'd forgotten about this image. I literally took a picture of it with my camera and had to use a heavy hand in photoshop >>>>

I am so eternally grateful to the men and women of Windlass for helping me pull this one together. I've been writing on it for years. You would never know they were not a country band. #MusicSky #Musicians #IndependentArtist #ArtistSky #Music #NewMusic #NowPlaying www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mB1...

I've written a song called Country Ways that I was having a hard time getting right. But I still named a playlist on Youtube and a future "album" after it. Lasts couple of nights we've nailed down two versions of it. I am really liking it.

"Fireflies" is right now anyway my favorite song that I have ever written. Description follows #Folk #Nu-Folk #Americana #Acoustic #Solo #MusicSky #Musicians #IndependentArtist #ArtistSky #Music #NewMusic #NowPlaying #NowListening www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztbg...

Song writing can really be hard work. The ones that come easiest for me and that I often love the most are my songs about feeling a connection to the infinite intimate through the experience of nature. But most of my songs I really poured over again and again to get them where I wanted them. >>>

The band is starting to lean into Country music a bit. I will have several songs for the beginning of my Country Ways playlist on Youtube. It's never going to be their main thing but they actually sound pretty good doing Country music. Well kind of Alt-Country.

This one's a blast from the past, taken by my ex at our place on Lake Norman. I actually had my hair in decent shape and had a bit of makeup on. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #glamour #artnude #nudemodel

I had just met Jia when this photo was taken on a local river, about a year ago now. I was just dipping my toes in the water. It was quite cold actually. #amateur #model #nude #nsfw #naturism #outdoor #artnude #nudeart #nudemodel #river #rocks #water

Well we're getting ready to have a feast here, my folks and brother are here as well as everyone from Windlass and a number of our old friends including my first girlfriend Liz, who I am delighted to see again. We've got a pig on the spit and gator tail on the grill and all the fixins and plenty >>

I uploaded one of our original Windlass recordings from 2013 entitled "Broken Road (Love is a...). I don't remember if I ever posted a short here. #Rock #Ballad #MusicSky #Musicians #IndependentArtist #ArtistSky #Music #NewMusic #NowPlaying #NowListening www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOQ5...
