gabareOriginal PosterMay 23, 2009the other day both my neighbors beside and to the rear w ere gone usually i sunbathe and piddle on the back porch and screened pool area but today was a opportunity that comes occassionally so off the back porch i went nude in the backyard it felt good to walk to the garden and down to the rear fence, i was able to take a few picture and lay on the grass and soak up the sun i also checked my leyland cypress which is my future privacy screening, probably grew a 1/8 of a inch only 7 feet and 7/8 to go.. after about a hour i headed back to the rear porch only to notice my neighbor to the rear had returned home, she usually doesn't come out till later in the day but i often wonder how many times she has seen me but hasn't said anything. i sometimes wonder if i allowed them to catch me face to face and see if they would react ok to my being nude in the backyard or not, they have seen me in a small bikini several times and waved but i guess nude would be a different encounter.

gator1May 24, 2009I am extremely fortunate...I rebuilt my 6 foot wooden fence after Ike, and did a really good job. I had the opportunity to check out my yard from my neighbor's deck and yard, and discovered that you can't see anything from there, so...freedom at last!! I spend quite a bit of time in my large backyard nude...in the pool, in the garden, mowing, sunning, you name it. It's opened up a whole new world since the hurricane.

BarefootBillMay 25, 2009When the two neighboring homes were empty, I could roam relatively freely in the yard--just had to make sure I didnt stroll where the front neighbors could view. Now that one house is being rented and has kids, I can be nude on my back deck only. The front yard is definitely not nudist friendly.

DavidMay 25, 2009I have just over an acre - not private but not totally crowded either. Since I live on the corner, and I can easily be seen from either street, I have to limit my nude walks to late nights. I have done, late at night, but never in the daytime.

catbirdMay 25, 2009I envy those with a private yard. Late night is the only time I dare walk in my yard naked. And I have done that before.

Flexy68May 25, 2009I wish I could be as lucky as most of you! I'm stuck only being nude when our children are NOT home and not at all outside unless I drive up to the mountains (which is fun for me but not enough!). Maybe one of these days I'll get to try out a hot spring and / or a resort!

ThomasMay 26, 2009[quote]I can freely roam around most of my back yard. I had a tree die last year (probably drought related) so there is an area I must avoid now. I'm trying to decide on a good replacement, something that will grow fast yet be sturdy enough to resist wind breakage. I have a large deck that is completely private and I spend a lot of time there enjoying the spring weather. Naturism is so much more enjoyable when you can be out in nature![/quote] A lot of builders plant Arizona Ash becaue it is fast growing. I found you have to be carefull about location because they have roots that tend to come to top of ground, at least in the hard clay I had in Houston. Red Oak trees also grow very fast and are very sturdy. Hope this helps. ThomasReactReply - GA
gabareOriginal PosterMay 28, 2009jgw014 i planted 33 leyland cypress trees in backyard this year to use a barrier to neighbor, it will take about 4 - 5 years and then i will be able to roam yard more freely , i have abourt 6 in front yard that i planted over 10 years ago they are huge and screen the driveway, you ask why didn't i plant them in the back 10 years ago, i ask the same question, one neighbor planted about 5 across rear dividing our backyard they are now 15 ft high, i wish they would have gone all the way across. leyland cypress grow pretty fast and tolerant anything...

DaveMay 28, 2009My wife is more timid but after dark I will go out the front door and walk down the driveway at the side of our house to take out trash, put things away in the garage, etc. Since we have an automatic outdoor light that comes on with a motion detevtor, when I get toward the back of the driveway the light comes on so if anyone is looking I am visible from the street or the neighbor's house across the street if they are looking out their windows. To be honest, it is not too likely that I will be seen or bother anyone so it is not risky behavior, but it stretches my wife to the point where she won't do it. We have sat out after dark in the yard or on our porch but we like to be nude, enjoy social nudism, but are not exhibitionists. Plus, working for the church would mean an incident would be more trouble than we can afford in attention :).

CanoodlerMay 29, 2009We grow lilacs up here for hedges. They grow quickly, flower profusely and are thick and block the wind too. I have some next to my deck that are quickly getting tall enough. Two more years to total privacy. I have swum in my little pool naked as the neighbours don't sit at their windows, but then I have been caught walking out to the hottub as well. No biggy. I too, do the garbage and recycling in the nude and sometimes walk to the front door from the driveway when I'm driving nude. Don't think I've been caught but whatever. Bicycled up my street once at 4 am and a couple of women were out chatting! Geez. so I just deked into someone's drive and threw on my shorts. Next time I'll just take the path between houses and come at mine from the back. Gotta build a wee gate for my deck and that'll finish my privacy till the lilacs grow.

JustFriendsMay 29, 2009Has anyone ever talked to their neighbour about it? I have a large backyard that I spend all my free time in, and virtually every inch of it is secluded with tall hedges, with the exception of one house, which is owned by a friendly woman who is frequently in her backyard. We often have pleasant chats over the small picket fence. There is nothing I would love more than to do my thing back there, nude & free, but I can't becuse of one person. A hundred times I've felt like 'outing' myself, and asking if she would be offended or uncomfortable, but I never have. I wonder if anyone has done this, and what the results were?

ocmickMay 29, 2009I don't know if I'd refer to it as roaming...I do hit the pool at dawn begining this time of year...my neighbor to the east is cool with it (she's my age and a nice woman) but I'm not too sure about the new kids to the west...mid-20's...hubby hasn't mentioned anything to me...yet...

gabareOriginal PosterMay 29, 2009justfriends i have the same situation with two neighbors and i'm sure they have seen me nude on my back porch or by the pool but i don't know if it would bentifit me addressing my nudity to them, even though i've thought about it i think i'll leve well enough alone. when they are not home i wander into the yard but if they are home i'm comfortable with the back porch and pool area... and i like canoodler idea of lilacs will have to shop around for some .

I only go nude in the backyard, and only when it's dark outside. My front yard faces the community mailbox and has a constant stream of joggers, dog walkers, and children passing by. The back yard is on a hill that faces a large apartment complex and a busy street (with a speed trap frequented by police officers).
One morning by chance I saw my next door neighbors climing out of their hot tub and couldn't help noticing that they were both naked. My wife was delighted to find this out and suggested that it would be okay for us to sunbathe nude in our backyard, since our neighbors obviously wouldn't care. I did try sunbathing nude one afternoon, but couldn't help worrying that someone across the street would see me and complain, so I haven't done it since.
At night I go in the backyard nude with my dog, but there's not a whole lot I can do with the lights out. If it is raining and warm enough, I do like to go outside and stand naked in the rain.

VincentDeMoorJun 1, 2009You are all very fortunate! I wish I had the opportunity to roam around a yard just naked! The fresh air hitting every inch of your skin, getting to enjoy the sun and relax, letting yourself just feel free and one with nature, it sounds so amazing!
If I ever get a home, I hope to build a fence, or have a yard that lets me experience these things! As for now, the only time i get to walk around nude, is when no one is home.ReactReply - GA
gabareOriginal PosterJun 3, 2009tonight it getting ready to rain so i went outback to secure the pool and porch area while back there i decided to roam the yard for a while in the nude it feels great to be able to enjoy the yard and still can't understand why the laws dictate what we can and can't do, merely being nude in your yard shouldn't be a crime, someday maybe it will change. i also had a chance to go roll the windows up on the vehicle since it was dark out front except when the motion light came on.

catbirdJun 4, 2009Indeed the cool night air does feel good on bare skin.
I have come upon a relatively safe way to enjoy this in my yard. I have an opaque raincoat the reaches down to my knees, so I put it on when venturing outside. But I only do this after dark.ReactReply - VI
VincentDeMoorJun 4, 2009Tannudists, that's a great Idea! If only I lived in a house with a yard of some sort lol

I'm fortunate enough to have a fairly private backyard (woods directly behind). One neighbor could see but there are enough trees/bushes in place they'd have to work at it to see me. One day I was out sunning nude and must have taken a small nap. The next thing I know is they neighbor is on MY side of the trees/bushes within 50 feet and a clear view of me. She's never said anything so I assume it's OK. Since that time I'm sure they've seen me other times as well so now I don't even bother trying to avoid them. It's GREAT!
ReactReply - MEMemberJun 5, 2009I hope to someday be 100 years old and enjoy the freedom of going nude anywhere I want to. As for now I enjoy the colorado sunshine, and hope to to someday be able to share my joy with others. I guess I am just a little weird. Love to tan nude on my back porch. I keep the music going and a big glass of Ice Tea. Neighbors may not like it much but I have some nice bushes and fences. ( No one has called the cops yet, knock on wood. ) Still trying to get my wife to join me. I was even out on my bike today looking for a place to be, THE NATURAL ONE[/size]ReactReply

newnudeJun 6, 2009i don't wear clothes at all indoors unless it's cold - then i might stick a jumper on. so it's a real nuisance having to get something on to go in the garden. it would be so much easier to just not bother, and sometimes i'm tempted. how scary is that!!
