“A flower’s fragrance declares to all the world that it is fertile, available, and desirable, its sex organs oozing with nectar. Its smell reminds us in vestigial ways of fertility, vigor, life-force, all the optimism, expectancy, and passionate bloom of youth. We inhale its ardent aroma and, no matter what our ages, we feel young and nubile in a world aflame with desire.”
– Diane Ackerman, A Natural History of the Senses
It seems that today luck brought us not only a gorgeous sunny day, but also a few hours without the children. This meant that we could get creative and take a couple of pictures that I hoped might work for this week’s challenge – Diptych. I always find it quite freeing to be able to shed my clothes outdoors and there really is nothing better than the feeling of the sun on my skin so it turned out to be a really lovely afternoon. I even got to lay on the deck for a while and soak up some vitamin D so that should help me to make it to the end of term. One week and still counting!
To see who else is sinning this Sunday, please kiss the lips below.
The flowers are so lush i almost missed you in the background. Lovely as always!
Thank you. Maybe I should hide there more often? ?
Such a wonderful summery fresh feeling to these images. I can almost smell the flowers too.
Beautiful.

Thanks Tabitha. I haven’t tried a diptych before so it was good to have something to focus on

I so very nearly did something similar with the pink roses in my garden but I was not so lucky on the kids front as you so I used an image I took a while back but had never posted

I love your image too and the kids was a real bonus ?
A lovely backdrop for the beautiful flowers… now how to reverse the pic??? Hmmmm
Maybe that should be next week? Lol
These images are beautiful. The flowers and your body in the sunlight. Lush!
Thank you ?

I do like some mystery ?
Beautiful images, loving the flowers. xx
Thank you. It is a good time of year to find lots of colour uk options ?
I love how the flowers are used as a frame here. Beautiful!
Thank you eye. The clever photography was HL – I get the easy bit ?
I feel like I could take a walk and see you frolicking in the bushes. Your photos always look so beautiful and perfectly thought out
Aww that is lovely – thank you. I would be up for some frolicking ?
A beautiful combination . . . and that image on the right is just gorgeous !!!

Lovely images. Full of sex and summer ?
Rebel xox
Sex and summer are such a good coupling ?
A slightly shy one, but in tune with the delicacy of the blooms. Like it!
You know me. Always camera shy ☺️
Lovely! You should get a load of flowers and do a nude photo shoot like that famous one from American Beauty, you know with the one I mean? You would just need a load of flowers, a bed, a step ladder (for your photographer) and Go! 😀 <3
Thank you. Perhaps I will suggest that ?
These are so beautiful! Xx
Thank you
Oh you looking amongst the blossom – really beautiful idea x
Thank you ?
I’m envious you’ve managed to strip off outdoors in this weather, I haven’t had the opportunity…yet!
I hear it is meant to be nice for a while longer so here’s hoping you get your chance ?
Love this, Missy. Mysterious look and your nipples are exquisite.
Thank you. I would never have expected my nipples to be described like that but you have made me happy ?
