Let it Snow:

I went out with my camera wearing boots, a heavy parka, loose baggy jeans and a hat. I figured the less I wore the easier it would be to get undressed and redressed - no underwear or shirts. I wondered to this historic garden in view of a major city street and also a path thru the park. I checked out the location and set up my tripod. I took one shot with clothes on and then I was ready for the nude shot. I just missed being seen by a couple walking thru the park to the right of my location. I didn’t worry much about the traffic on the street, but I was concerned about pedestrians walking by on the street. It was about 3 pm in the afternoon, so there were people around. Oops, I forgot to take off my watch but I got one good shot.

The second shot:

The second shot was not far from the first, geographically, but by the time I got there the sun had fallen. It has a sculpture [not seen in the photo], so there were floodlights there to use. That was handy because a flash can get the attention of people driving by. I had a lovely bed of virgin snow to lay in. I wanted an original pose that resembled swimming in snow. Man, Was that cold! It sure didn’t take me long to get redressed, as I was freezing with snow actually sticking to my skin. Brrrrrrr!
