This series aims to bring what I hope might be a breath of fresh air into quarantine. These come from one of our many road trips, literally from the side of the road. We were trundling down the highway in our customary fashion, with Mrs. Pix nude in the seat beside me. I felt inclined to break the monotony of the highway by turning off at a random point to see what we could see “off road”. We followed a side road to where it became less well maintained and eventually came to a heavy gate obviously intended to bar further progress. Being well off the highway at what appeared to be the end of the line, we felt comfortable getting out to stretch our legs and, yes, snag a few photos.
Mrs. Pix was very comfortable and in her element – the sun was brilliant, the air was warm, and there was a warm breeze breaking over the hills that obviously felt good to her, tousling her hair and making her skin feel … well … alive. We posed quite a few shots, many of them managing to catch the mood of how good she felt basking naked.
Well … we both were a little too comfortable and grew inattentive. At a point when we were rather well away from our car, to our surprise, another car came trundling down the same side road. We were too far away to take cover, so we ended up just standing there meekly as the other car came by. Smiles and waves were exchanged. The other car paused at the gate, the passenger got out and opened the gate, just swinging it aside, and they passed through. More waves, and they were gone. Oops.
Hopefully, these shots may help you feel a little of that freshness; something probably all of us can use these days. There are a number of them, maybe a little repetitive; maybe you can find a favorite.
