Something a little different… we have this gorgeous Art Nouveau street lamp in our garden. It was rescued from a scrap yard many years ago by a previous owner who renovated and installed it here. It’s particularly beautiful when accompanied by a sunset #artnouveau #sunset

Nothing is taken away without also being carried forward—
altered,
woven thinner
deeper.
Without passing,
nothing could ripen,
be forgiven,
or decay at arrival
Memory would have no depth,
love no proof,
And thought no echo.
Time teaching by continuity.

Good morning and welcome to Boxing Day …. Do we have nice things planned? My plans seem to include - sort out my hair, trim the beard / stubble, shower, finish washing up, take food to Bristol, cook food for family, come home later, light the fire, have a seriously large glass of wine and curl up 🌲❤️

Happy Christmas to the fabulous people I’ve met and connected with here on Bluesky. I’m up ridiculously early despite being far too old to get a visit from Santa, I’m obviously excited about something 😉 I’ll have a nice hot cup of tea and listen to the dawn chorus ❤️

To see oneself with our eyes
is to meet a mirror,
yet never tells the whole truth.
The gaze turns inward,
but it carries the habits of looking outward—
judgment, desire, fear, memory.
What appears is not the self as it is,
but the self as it has learned to appear.
We are seen,rather than seeing.

Just one more image for now - from the last shoot of the year - a sublime session with my occasional muse Jacqueline … I’ve many more to look through which will keep me occupied and entertained for the holidays 😉 #muselife #sensual #erotic #sexy #maturewomen

Joyous festive selfies from Claudia ❤️
.. and it's there😍
I wish you loud laughter, lasting peace, and everlasting joy. May you feel the love in every Christmas carol you hear and in every friend you meet. I wish you calm when the world is hectic and light when it grows dark. Merry Christmas to you all my friends

So it’s gonna be a shellfish Christmas Eve … mussels in white white, garlic and parsley with French fries and a few oysters to start (ever hopeful 😉 but it’s only me who eats oysters ☹️) #oysters #mussels #shellfish

One more from my last shoot before Christmas. Creating on a regular basis with a model & muse where there is mutual trust opens up more ideas and opportunities for beauty… I love this image from the December shoot with Jacqueline #sensuality #topless #erotic #naked #mature #boho

A little more classical than my more recent work - this is artists model and muse Jacqueline in my studio a couple of years ago. It’s a lovely sensual and almost calm image. Maybe I should create more like this … #sensual #topless #feminine #beauty #naked #artnude @orgasmicgroup.bsky.social
