Don't worry, your clothes will still be there when you return.

If you take the time to look around, you'll find all kinds of reasons to smile. Happy Monday!

It's already October, but the trees are clinging tenaciously to the last warm rays of summer. Are you?

Waking up to another rainy morning. Fortunately, Mother Nature has equipped us with a breatheable, waterproof skin that enables getting out there and enjoying the day... rain or shine. Happy Monday!

You may have your back to the wall, but there are infinite options in front of you.

And, curiously, this image has been labeled 🏷 "sexually suggestive" by Bluesky. Is it? Perhaps my reference to lust triggered the label?

Interesting discussion about the relevance of Caillebotte's sexuality (or lack thereof):

French Critics Spar With American Curators Over a Show Implying a Famous Impressionist May Have Been Gay | Artnet News

The Musée D'Orsay has been criticised for "suggestive" interpretations insinuating that the Impressionist painter was gay.

Clothed, enjoying nudes. I'm low-key lusting after that copper bathtub.

Me, next to Gustave Caillebotte's painting, "Man at His Bath" (1884), at the Art Institute of Chicago.

Sourdough bread!

NudeViking @nudeviking.bsky.social · Aug 24

You've got Monday through Friday to worry about making money. Take some time this weekend to enjoy making dough instead.

Whether you're down on the ground or high in the sky, I hope you take some time this week to enjoy the view. Happy Monday!

Paragliders soaring above the cliffs at Black's Beach in La Jolla, California... and me, nude sunbathing below.

Finally made it to Black's Beach in sunny California! The water was chilly enough to blame it for "shrinkage," but... I'm not ashamed of what Mother Nature gave me. 😁

Good night, cuties. Hope your weekend included a suitable mix of: fun, relaxation, struggles, laughter, productivity, sloth, angst, boredom, joy, uncertainty, goofiness, camaraderie, solitude, doubt, debauchery, exercise, amusement, wonder... now dream strong dreams as you face the week ahead.

For those of you keeping score at home, today was my 79th daily nude Tarot post. All 78 cards were read, with the Page/Knave of Cups sneaking in a repeat performance. Apropos to revisit that card as I complete this series... what new creative project should I dive into next? #nudetarot #gaytarot

All them cards. I started the #nudetarot series using the Tarot del Fuego deck by Ricardo Cavolo, but then quickly decided that the classic Rider-Waite-Smith deck might be better suited to this project of exploring all the cards.

It's Tiw's Day, named for the Germanic god of war. Victory is within reach. What opportunity for abundance will you seize today, and how will you divvy up the spoils of battle? Remember: to claim the prize, you've got to name the prize. So... what'll it be?
#nudetarot #aceofpentacles #gaytarot

Ace of Pentacles: a gift is offered by the hand of fate. Below, a portal opens to new horizons. What do you want to receive today?

Ugh, been there. Sorry you're dealing with that. Feel your feelings, take care of yourself. ❤️

NudeViking @nudeviking.bsky.social · Jul 21

Half-naked, or half-clothed? Half-full, or half-empty? Both realities can be true at the same time. You're entitled to spend time with sorrow and disappointment. Those cups will be full again... but it's OK to just feel the emptiness for now. Feel now, fill later.
#nudetarot #fiveofcups #gaytarot

Five of Cups: cloaked in his pain and grief, he faces the reality of what was lost. But he also notices a whole river of life-giving water before him. Then he remembers he has vessels just waiting to be filled up. When it's time.

You've got a bumper crop of something coming in. Are you surprised? You've put in all the blood, sweat, and tears... and the shit you endured along the way was pretty good fertilizer. Start your week with the confidence that you're gonna reap what you've sown. #nudetarot #sevenofpentacles

Seven of Pentacles: the patient gardener pauses briefly to admire the fruits of his labor.

It's the weekend; time to reflect on the ebb and flow of the past seven days. The Five of Pennies caught me off guard this week. Sometimes, cards that don't seem directly relevant at first offer us the best opportunities to dig deeper. Attitude beats platitude every damn time. #nudetarot #gaytarot

Beauty and the beast? Or just a couple of animals destined to get stuffed and mounted? Love comes in a wild variety of forms. Whatever kind of relationship makes you feel complete, nurture it. The Garden of Eden can quickly become a jungle without diligent tending.
#nudetarot #gaytarot #thelovers

The Lovers: two people, drawn to each other but not yet united. Their union is grounded down below but sanctioned from above. Behind them, passion and reason, and a hill to climb -- perhaps a hill to die on?

Good point! Trusting someone is entirely different than depending or relying on them.

NudeViking @nudeviking.bsky.social · Jul 18

Outside, there is misery and desperation. But inside, there is warmth and security. Do you have the good sense to come in out of the cold? Poverty teaches you to rely on others. And if you have people you can depend on, you're very rich indeed. Someone wants to help you.
#nudetarot #fiveofpentacles

Five of Pentacles: a couple of poor souls trudge through the snowy night, past the warm glow of a stained glass window. Is it an omen of being left out in the cold? Or a harbinger of the promise of security?

Fight on! Your battle wounds will be badges of honor once you have completed what you set out to do. At this point, the cost of giving up now is far greater than the cost of just finishing the damn thing. Why not stick it out?
#nudetarot #nineofwands #gaytarot

Nine of Wands: battered and bruised, but not yet beaten, he perseveres to finish what he started.

You've got a decision to make. Everyone will try to influence you... block out distractions and look within for your answer. Intuition is a trusty little guide, but she often struggles to be heard against the mental noise of the external senses. Listen, then choose. #nudetarot #twoofswords

Two of Swords: blindfolded, she holds crossed blades while seated before calm waters and clear skies. Above her, the moon casts a soft, reflected light. She can only look within for guidance on the decision she must make.
