Last stop 🚲
It’s a beautiful afternoon out here.

Next, a break by the river. Almost secluded enough for a skinny dip, but not quite.

First stop 🚲
Quiet dock in a little pond.

Going out for an afternoon bike ride in the sun. 🌞🚲🌴

Very nice!

Here we go!

A watercolor painting of a white stone island with dwellings carved into the cliff faces. At the center rises a parabolic glass dome containing a golden cumulus cloud.

A watercolor painting of a rocky island built up with cantilevered white dwellings. Pink cotton candy clouds float overhead.

A watercolor painting of a gray rocky island topped with the billowing canopy of a great tree. At the center, a window looking in on nebulous waterfalls.

A tiny sauna on a trailer parked next to a crystal clear river. A thin plank dock leads out over the water.

Join me for a sauna?

A fantastical vista of lush tropical forest leading to sea on the horizon with a lofty citadel rising from the water. An enormous golden moon hangs in the sky.

A tiered cityscape layered with lush forest, hanging gardens and curvaceous forms.

A nude female figure sits in contemplation in a dim and verdant jungle grotto. A beam of rainbow light descends to illuminate the calm pool.

Classic!

Thanks! I quite like the 1999 Houghton Mifflin trade paperbacks — all but the small text!

Nice! I can see that.

Hey #tolkien fans, what’s your favorite Lord of the Rings edition for reading?

Not necessarily the flashiest, but the one you would reach for to re-read the trilogy. Looking for recs!

A friend just read a few of the Fern River stories, and gave probably my favorite feedback ever.

“It’s like a study in erotic urban planning.”

Thanks for the info!

The simple pleasure of Sunday website tinkering. Little improvements to Fern River Club coming with Season 4. 😊🧋🛋️

I agree completely!

Hey @buffer.com! Is there a way to add labels to posts here on Bluesky? It’s nice to beat the moderation bots to it sometimes.

Finishing Lesley Finch’s L.C.T.F. after setting it aside for a bit. It would make a great book club read — for the right book club! A boy can dream.

Who knows if there’s a way to add labels when queuing posts on #buffer?

Vacations in Southern France were far out of reach for a poor Dutch student like Swantje. But what she lacked in wealth, she made up with creativity, creating her own Côte d'Azur on the rooftop, watched by paparazzis like the movie stars in Cannes.

#nude

Two nude women stand either side of a small tree. The woman on the right is wearing a flat-brimmed straw hat and a thin necklace with a heart pendant.

Two naked women run laughing through the waves at the seashore.

A nude man has a rope wrapped around his waist and over both shoulders. Two nude women hold either end of the rope behind him as if he were a workhorse.

Make time for friends who bring out your playful side.

Love it!

The woman in the green dress (😍), I wonder what her story is?
