It was a gorgeous hot day..the sun shining down through the trees casting shafts of light through the fresh bright greenery. The river was running low and calm and was so enticing. I packed my camera and stripped barefoot as I walked into the wood and down into the gorge. I love the streams and rivers and spend hours walking them, camera in hand, looking to capture the cascades and falls with time lapse, turning the water into an icing effect.I love going barefoot, feeling the ground beneath my feet. I knew I was going to end up in deeper pools so I d gone minimal, just wearing my lycra shorts, nothing baggy to snag on the twigs and brambles. These days I dont care that my toes are painted and are seen when barefoot, its my way of keeping some colour in my life, makes me smile, feel good.
Id been in one spot catching the mood of the river when I was approached by a guy, curious at this guy whos sat on a rock, upto his waist in water.
" hey, enjoying yourself?"
Im not a great talker when out amongst nature but I wont be rude either.
"Hey yeah, Im happy thanks, the waters nice on a day like this...warm"
He continued to chat and I answered, not really taking much notice of him and answering politely but not much more. After a few minutes I glanced over and noticed he was sat on the bank, quite comfortably.
"I ve got a similar camera but dont know how to use it properly, so why so long in the water, can t you just snap n go?
So easing my attitude I started to explain, he was easy to talk to and was laid back in his manner. A good looking guy, slim and toned..just in shorts and vest and sandals..yeah he seemed ok.
" can I look at your pics?
I agreed since I d taken the shots I wanted and was intending to move on anyways, so I rose up from my sitting position and walked to the bank. I couldn t help but notice that he seemed to focus at waist level at one point, focus a little longer than normal. As I strode out of the water and sat by him he looked to my feet.
" hey nice, whats with the colour?"
" ha, Im weird dont ya know"a hint of sarcasm in my voice before explaining the whole colour thing.
" well gotta say personally I love it, wish I had the same confidence to do it, suits you"
"Thanks"at which point I was fiddling with canera but noticed he seemed to be taking me all in visually and smiling.
" Im serious, you wear it well...though not wearing a lot at the mo admittedly."
" nature of the photography, pointless getting clothes wet and crappy"
"Haha...you ll be going naked next"
"It has been known but only when in quiet, hard to get to places..."
" bet you know quite a few quiet places eh"
It was obvious even to me by now that there was a little more than photography of interest here. He tucked in close when looking at my pics, his leg, Im sure, purposely brushing mine...touching...skin on skin. As I handed him the camera to flick through my pics I took a little more notice of him..couldn t help it he was that close in and smelling gorgeous...just the right amount of scent and body. He was toned and the vest was quite minimal. His body had a little hair on the chest but the rest seemed smooth. He was lean and toned, strong arms but not bulky...yeah he was a good looking guy. I glanced to his legs and noticed a prominence at his crotch..not a hard on but a hint that he could be packing or that he had something stuffed in his pocket. I guess we chatted for a good time before I said its time to move on.
" to quieter places maybe?"
" possibly"
"Soooo you ll be exposing your ass in the wilds eh?"
"Probably, hard to say"
" mind if I join you?"
"Not at all but you may need eye bleach cos its my walk and if I get naked then deal with it..join me or leave"
"Oh I ll deal with it"
With that and with mutual smiles we moved off.
