Gallery coming back soon! We wanted to have an afternoon party in the city this time, rather than taking a long road trip into nature. This urban backyard was perfect with it's high fences, green lawn and landscaped garden, not to mention the hot tub! We kept busy with yoga, juggling, eating, water fights, trampoline bouncing and other creative body expressions.

I was warming up to the idea of having get-togethers that were not strictly in a natural setting. After the Naked Garden Day backyard event went so well and I found people were really into this I jumped on an opportunity to use another bigger backyard. Photographer Andrew offered up his home in Lafayette for a naked party and photo shoot. I came up with a bunch of fun things we could do and we went down the list through the afternoon. Jon quickly figured out he could easy get on the roof and get a high angle perspective - the first time he went up he was naked and after a couple of minutes realized the whole neighbourhood could see him. The trampoline was ordered on-line for about $200 and delivered a couple of days before. In some ways this event was a precursor to the multi-day retreat events we did a couple years later.
