It’s sad to say Bob, but maybe now would be a good time to try out one of those wildlife monitoring cameras. Just might find out who it is.

Good idea.  I had one a while back but it died.  Maybe I'll get a new one.

I've had so many folk saying "I'm not bothered, myself, but what about the neighbours or so and so or the children?" Pfft!

I totally agree with you! Anybody who complains about  seeing you nude in your own property is  a "peeping  pervert" & needs arresting.every garden should have a place where one may sit in the nude, drinking gin 8D

I believe that everyone should have a place where they mind their own F'ing business and stop trying to control the lives and clothes of other people.

A bit over 2 years ago we were looking at relocating. I needed to find some privacy to be naked outdoors.  We saw many properties and I would resist any one where the garden was too overlooked.  In fact a most beautiful and ideal property we turned down because it was badly overlooked and despite my wife's attempts to smooth over this, I would not consider it.  Being in the same village as we eventually ended up we got to know the eventual occupants and another couple in an adjacent house.  They now complain how overlooked they are.
After a goodly number of properties viewed, we found a nice residence with a largish (for the uk) garden which is very secluded due to the way the original developer oriented the adjacent houses. We have a field at the back and good hedge cover (lot of work keeping it clipped).  So I can walk out naked and enjoy a goodly area of garden unobserved (except by the ever intolerant spouse).  I have come to relish this privacy and naked yoga, naked gardening and sunbathing are all possible without need of much keeping a lookout fro prying eyes. 


I agree entirely with Patrick1951's remark although I'm not fond of gin!

Some ordinances state that the being visible by the public means that the public can see what you are doing on your own property. This means we have to build walls and screens just to mind our own business.

The public is beginning to invade personal spaces.

Well put, Eyesup.

The reference to 'gin' was a quote from an earlier post. I don't drink any alcohol, I'm on too many pills due to my condition.
I do stay nude as much as possible and strangely enough the only complaints come from nosey folk who have made extra effort to see me (us)!

Laws vary a lot from place to place.   It is obvious that those who write laws should be the ones minding their own business.

Bob

[eyesup]

. . . those who write laws should be the ones minding their own business.

I think that is genetically impossible. The urge to write laws intended to curb behavior and sub-clauses of the same, comes from a desire to control the uncontrollable. Not likely to happen.

In their mind they are minding their business.

Getting back to the original topic, being seen while getting mail.

Our weather has warmed up finally.  Yesterday I went out naked to get my mail.   I find that I have a lot more fear of being seen since last year when the neighbor came and bitched at me because his teen kid saw me getting mail naked.  I don't enjoy confrontation but I don't want to be controlled either.  I overcame my fear and walked the 300 feet of driveway that is visible from the road and then across the road to the mail box. 

I found myself stepping hastily across the road to get there before any cars came around the corner.  There was a breeze in the trees which makes a background sound and prevents hearing cars before they are within sight.   Opening my box I found a book I had ordered on-line and some advertising mail.  I deliberately paused at the mailbox to inspect each piece.  Then I turned and walked more slowly back across the road and up my driveway. 

Today maybe I'll go mow my lawn naked.

Free range naturism like a craft requires a degree of emotional training and reconditioning. Use it or lose it. It helps to hear of thoughtful bravado to get over the insensible fears and sort out the reality, as you symbolically did with your mail.

On another hand, the fresh accomplishment resulting in a degree of liberation feels good after a cold winter. Kinda like stretching after sitting too long.
Thanks Bob.

Yeah, kinda like when I was planting the peppers in my back yard. There is one home that has a clear view of the yard and another with a partially blocked view.

I was cautious about doing that but it felt good.

I stopped for a thing tonight and when I got back in the car, I pulled the pants, rolled back the full moon roof and soon discarded the shirt. It felt good.

The moon in the clouds was stunning.

During the day I will step out in the back yard to change the dog's water bowls or to put something out on the patio. I will take trash out on the side usually under cover of dark. I don't have the plentiful cover of a hedge on my property.

It's always nice to be naked outside if even for a minute.
