Birds are the most popular group in the animal kingdom. We feed them and tame them and think we know them. And yet they inhabit a world which is really rather mysterious.
David Attenborough
This picture marks the start of ‘the more’ for me I think. I have been so surprised and encouraged by the reception that my last three pictures have got that I felt brave enough to take things a bit further this week. I have also been inspired by what other participants in Sinful Sunday have posted and this has motivated me to push past some of the boundaries that I had set for myself.
I found the quotation above and thought it was appropriate somehow in that the link with the birds fitted, but also that it hinted at the two worlds that I currently inhabit: The one where I am known but hidden and the one where I am hidden but slowly becoming known.
This is absolutely gorgeous!!
p.s. love the wellies!
Thank you ? wellies are so funky these days not like when I was a kid!
This is only one of the pictures taken and I have to admit I am so really pleased that Missy has cast aside her long standing body issues to allow this to take place. Very proud Missy, and very beautiful. Xx
Thank you Sir and thank you for playing photographer. ?
So pretty in boots and watch, who’s to say undressed. Fun to push those boundaries, isn’t it?
Yes it is. I am getting quite into it now. Just don’t want to get caught! ?
I love this image – well done you.
They are related to dinosaurs or so they say! They do look a bit strange, only the other day I was remarking how the birds watch us, as if they’re thinking, “we were here before you, and we’ll still be here when you’ve gone”
And then I noticed you picture!! Haha, love it! You’re a brave “bird!” 😀
Very funny – thank you ?
Awesome picture – well done!!
? thanks sweet
Beautiful! It just goes to show how our personal body image may be out of sync with reality. You have no need to hide!! Just beautiful!!
Thank you. I am feeling that I am getting into it now and it is helping. I’m sort of freaking out about the risk to privacy though ?
Your face isn’t visible. So you will always have plausible deniability. And from what you have written, I don’t think anyone who knows you could ever believe you would do this!!
No that is true! Thank you for the reassurance ?
Fabulous fun shot and i am loving your wellies – having a particular fondness for them myself 😉
Thank you – I do like an liquorice allsort! ?
My two pence worth. You look amazing. Must be such a chore for Hislordship to play photographer(not)
Thanks MrH. He did seem quite thrilled when I asked ?
I have so much love for all this. I love why you have picked that quote and how it not only fits what you are doing in the image but how it relates to who you are as a person. I am also delighted to see that you are enjoying the photography more and exploring the photography more and more. I hope you continue to do so.
Oh and the wellies are completely fabulous

Thank you. I am really enjoying it and am finding that it is helping so much with my body image. I’m hoping to pick up some photography tips at Eroticon too ? Having the rules of thirds was great because I don’t know much about taking pictures and hadn’t heard of that. It was fun to do.
How absolutely lovely you are. And you must I’ve been cold!! Oh gosh
It was. We weren’t out there long. HL look about 8 pictures but that was one of the last and you can see my legs are starting to go purplish lol
Ooooh I love this <3 I love the image, the quote and those colourful wellies. I alos love how pale your skin is yet instead of blending with the snow – your figure hops out. Fab <3 x
Thank you. I’ve not done anything like that before so was is a real first ?
You look glorious is a winter wonderland setting. You are brave to risk the cold , but you don’t need to brave to show that great figure off! Love it all
Missy x
Thank you. ? It was SO cold but exciting too.
I am in awe of this photo. Of your beauty, of the wellies and of the cold. This is wonderful xx
Thank you. I am really learning a lot by taking part in Sinful Sunday and have been so encouraged by all the supportive comments ?
A very rare sighting of the Scottish Red-Crested Neon-Wellied Bare-Arsed Wench in her winter plumage — or lack thereof. I’ll be making a tick in my life list of birds. 🙂 Is that an Apple watch? Very brave, missy, but you have a great body and should relish strutting your stuff.
It is just a Fitbit. I forgot I had it on. Got a few extra steps out there though. The snow got worse after that so I’m short of steps this week ? I am enjoying it more and more actually. Who’d have thought?
I did. 🙂
Yes. I know. You always know things about me first ? I have got used to it now.
Totally amazing!! ?
Thank you ?
Loving the image of your body…you should be very proud! Delightful!
Thank you very much ?
You are sizzlin’, girl!!!???
Thanks Nora. Sizzling in the snow? Thought my nips were going to freeze off lol ?
Yep, sizzlin’ in the snow! I’m surprised it didn’t all melt away 🙂
Hehe
this is such a sweet image, I love the boots
Thank you ?
Out in the snow, brave girl, but lovely photo, love outdoor pictures xxxx
Thank you dalia ?
So hard to add anything original. I can only echo how gorgeous you look (I’ve also commented on an earlier post of yours so I won’t repeat the ways round the legal stuff), and what a fun delightful image this is! A rare bird indeed.
xx
Thank you indigo ?
Lovely image, so very english in its simple charm and the words you chose to go with it, hinting that they could be about you as much as the birds. Stunning.
Thank you. It was cold at the time but I am glad that I did it now ?
Great photo! I can only imagine myself being caught by my neighbors. Lolol. I should dig out my sock monkey galoshes.
Oooo yes do. I look forward to seeing them ?
This is just absolutely gorgeous! You are doing such a normal outside thing, but totally nude. It’s a beautiful location as well and so well captured. I really love this photo!
Aurora x
Awww thank you so much. It was first thing so thankfully the kids were still in bed so we could be naughty ?
It’s good to hear there will be more of you. This is a lovely image 🙂
Rebel xox
Thank you. I have been amazed how quickly it is changing me ?
Fabulously fun image. Love the red boots and all the lovely shapes and colours!!!
Xxx – K
Thank you. I have HL to thank for taking the picture but it was interesting to focus on the thirds rule and see how that worked ?
You always come across as very kind and caring person and this photo just goes to prove it once more. The colourful wellies gives it a beautiful surreal feel. On the other hand you make feeding the birds in the buff in the freezing cold seem like the most natural thing in the world to do. x
What a lovely thing to say. Thank you very much ?
Cor, you’re brave! Fantastic photo and I love your wellies!
Thank you ?
What a wonderful image, but bugger me you’re brave…
KW
A moment of madness and also submission at its finest. I was instructed to do it so that made it easier ?
Beautiful photo, Missy!!
Thank you ?
Your welcome!
You’re so brave, I couldn’t be naked in the snow…and those wellies!
Brilliant image!
It was pretty chilly I will admit. Fortunately HL was quick to snap so I didn’t have to be out there for very long 🙂
