First off, let me say that I am truly sorry for being uncharacteristically quiet lately...I've been terrible about not replying to comments on the blog, nor all of the nice emails and texts that I've received from various friends and readers, recently. I don't know exactly what my problem is...I just haven't felt much like talking these days. And as much as I hate to say it, I'm afraid that my silent(ish) streak won't exactly be ending with this post...

I will say this though, I went out of town with a friend this weekend...and over the course of our short trip to Nelson County, Va. (the majority of which we spent on and around the beautiful Buffalo River) I was able to let go of everything that's been weighing so heavily on my mind, these days. I thoroughly enjoyed the company of the nice group of people that I was with, but I was the happiest I've been in what feels like forever, each time I slipped away all by myself for a little while - and took the pictures that you see in this post.

I can honestly say that when it was time to go back home again, I really just didn't want to leave...I was so deeply saddened to havta be returning to Clarke County...to be facing reality once again.

There. That's it. I'm all out of words...my brain isn't synapsing properly, it seems. I hate to leave you guys like this, with so little to chew on...but it's really just not happening for me today...I'm sorry. Maybe next time I won't be so tight-lipped...let's hope.
gosh you are gorgeous, and I love your photos too!

@sin - You are TOO kind, my dear...Thank You so MUCH!
DeleteThis is easily your best work I have seen so far
ReplyDeletethe sensuality level is on par with the artistic and its more natural in my opinion
@The Olde Krow - Thank You so much...that's really great to hear :)
ReplyDeleteReally nice stuff, loved the the pic of standing in water with arms over your breasts, you have great arms dear ! Also loved the photo of u squatting,pouring water over your head! The wet tee shirt was very sensual and sexy ! Your really quite well toned ! Enjoying your creativity, using an exquisit figure ! Mr. Nikon
ReplyDelete@Mr. Nikon - I have dudely arms, haha! But it's whatever...I loved staging each one of these individual shoots. Second only to abandoned buildings, water is my favorite theme and setting.
DeleteYou are beautiful! These are absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDelete@Winchester Guy - THANK You! It makes me happy to hear you say such things :)
DeleteYou have absolutely no reason to apologise for a lack of written text when you have expressed yourself so brilliantly by posting some of the finest quality photos you have taken. Some of these are so crystal clear I wonder if you're using a new camera. Thank you for sharing more of your always interesting and inspiring artistic work.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous - Still using my same, old camera - but I did wipe off the lens a coupla times (for the first time in ages) after tiny, little droplets of water kept getting on it...
DeleteThank YOU - for being so understanding of my recent, funky mood...and for all of the kind things that you said!
Sometimes you just have to let the pictures speak for you. I agree with the previous comment, this are very sensual and artistic. I like all of them, great job.
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th!!!

@AMC - I should probably consider myself lucky to have my blog as an outlet with which to express myself...especially when actually words escape me. I'm so glad that you like this group! Happy 4th to you too!
Deletewhat a terric set of pix- the one on the bank with you and the sun spot is outstanding.....and at first glance- the one with you pouring the bucket of water over your head--it looks like a water snake on the rock beside you....as usual- i'm in awe of your work-karnjean
ReplyDelete@karnjean - Thanks, karnjean! I havta say that the feeling is completely mutual...I am positively KUCKoo over your latest series of paintings!!!
DeleteOh hon! Once again there's a Photo Favourite for the month there :) That one of you in the white singlet clambering out of the water just blows me away. Magnificent!

@Curvaceous Dee - Oh...my...GOSH! Are you serious?! I swear Woman - you are WAY too good to me, Thank You so very, very MUCH!!!
DeleteSorry you seem to be having a tough time lately. I completely understand the feeling when your synapses don't seem to be firing. I'm glad you're still at it, though. It makes me happy to see the new images you post. I like this batch, especially the first one and the one with you climbing out of the water. They do seem much more natural than your usual poses. I like that. Still missing you on IG. @aglet
ReplyDelete@aglet - YO GIRL! I'm stoked to see that you still come here - THANK You!
DeleteYeah...I'm still very up and down, emotionally...but it does feel like the worst of it may finally be behind me. I'm in the process of making some pretty radical changes in my life, all of which I HOPE will help me begin to move forward, and if I'm REALly lucky - I may just find my "happy" once again...
I don't know what it is about shooting in natural bodies of water exactly, but it a.) never gets old, and b.) generally produces halfway decent pics....
I'm still just as stubborn as ever, about keeping away from Instagram (for several reasons now) - but I have been posting my iPhone snaps more regularly on my other blog, "Little Pretties" (www.littleprettypix.com) as well as on my new Society6 page (http://society6.com/TheBigUgly)...I'm mostly trying to get caught up on posting my favorite older pics., at the moment - but soon I hope to have brand new batches of never-before-seen pics. to write about...
I hope that you're enjoying your summer! Be well!
