Ever since they were little, the boys had reunited each summer up at the lake, their families both having places there. From July through August, they would venture through the woods, camping out, canoeing, and of course getting into a bit of mischief. Now all grown up, they still manage to steal away, leaving all their cares behind as they partake one of their few long standing traditions, a refreshing skinny dip during summers at the lake.
I grew up near the Adirondack Mountains of New York and Lake Champlain. Back then, summer meant going to the lake at some point. While the ocean is certainly fun, there is something special about summertime at a lake, surrounded by the forest, your camp at the center of nature. The water isn't salty, and usually so calm you can relax and just float all day if you want.

I just got back from Midwest Men's Festival, a ten day men's retreat for mostly gay men. Every day was at least a hundred degrees and there was lots of this happening. I have a gorgeous tan -- those white buns are gone. There is nothing like being naked outside or swimming naked! Thanks for another gorgeous print!Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 03:22 PM

This beautiful scene reminds me of a couple of the young aquatics instructors when I was a Boy Scout about 13 and beginning to notice the physical beauty of men. While they weren't butt naked, their speedo swim suits were quite revealing. Like the beautiful colors, and the musculature of the fellow wading towards his buddy. The way the buddy is holding onto the canue, and his butt just above the water suggests an imminent sexual encounter. Go for it, guys!Saturday, August 25, 2012 at 07:38 PM

Stupid me! Need new glasses. That's not a canoe, but a wall upon on which the distant fellow is leaning. Liked the effect of shadows on the water, lots of different blue-green tones that nicely contrast with the summer tans of the two handsome men. Beautiful job with sunlight on tan flesh -- it nicely helps define the ridges of muscle on the blonde stud nearest the viewer.Sunday, August 26, 2012 at 05:42 PM
