Well, I was born naked, and it was quite a shock to my system - so don't know that I'd go down to the rive and jump in naked, but I'd definitely go down to the river.

Besides, I can't swim.

Hmmm.

Always nice to see you, my friend.

Nothing indeed feels as good as swimming naked ... How lovely, dear Dixie, also the picture. I can relate, but my version's first line would have been "If it was warmer!". We must reserve the time for the things we like to do.

Beautiful!

Love,
Margherita

James, I'm not really sure where this is but it was a pretty view

Jimmy, I don't think this river was very deep, of course I only crossed it on a bridge.

Margherita, idle hands are the Devil's workshop, as the saying goes. Ah what things I would do if I had the time LOL. I'm not all the way outgrown of my evil ways yet

thanks for reading

Yes in Italian the saying is "L'ozio รจ il padre di tutti i vizi", but this is only partly true. Sometimes "idle hands" allow creativity to manifest and ideas to surface ... and a bath in the river - even naked - is a way to feel one with nature's beauty. Let's do it and find the time!

No evil there, dear Dixie!

Hugs.

~ and I'm be right behind you! Mmm, that didn't come out right!  lol You pass a lot of gorgeous and inviting sites as your truck goes trekking along!

P.S. I've been a skinny dipper for most of my life. It makes me feel so alive and a part of nature. ~ no boundaries like a retsrictive bathing suit!

The beauty of that area is enough to stun anyone into idleness.  Would join you if I could.
