Unlike some of those "other" outdoor threads -I have avoided morphing this into a beach thread. I have debated showing women with trees in suburban neighborhoods- but have decided to stick with forest zones and thick vegetation. You are welcome to contribute any women with forest and trees in the background that you might find -and I will take your advice and look harder for trees. Meanwhile, enjoy a cup- and thanks for your interest in the thread.  |

Nicely played, sir. Thanks for a thoughtful response. And thanks for liking my avatar.
My feeling is that if the pic doesn't have a tree visible anywhere in it, it probably doesn't belong in a tree-hugger thread, but hey, whatever. It's a similar problem with the "Nude in Nice Scenery" thread. I tried to keep that one going for a while, but I quickly ran out of material for such a narrow concept. Others then began to turn it into a "Nude Outdoors" thread, and I lost interest. A naked girl photographed in front of a rock wall is not "nude in nice scenery." To maintain the focus, and interest of the thread, I think you'd be better off to at least have a tree in a tree-hugger thread, but like I said, whatever.
I've had one post of mine in this thread deleted - poof, gone - and I don't know why. Most of the other pics I have that might fit the category (and didn't originally come from OCC) are pro pics - or more so, might appear to the mods to be pro pics. Since I don't like having my posts deleted, I won't attempt to post any of them. I also have legions of art nudes hugging trees taken by professional photographers that come from sites like DA, Flickr and MM. I am told that (incredible to me) these pictures are okay to post, but I refuse to post them because I have too much respect for real artists to post their pics amongst pics of college girls in the shower.
I'll keep looking. All Best.
