My lamented late friend Ken Suffolk, aka Mr. Scumbeast, often used the captions of his
postings on Ipernity as the file names for his images. Today we'll look at seven mostly
witty examples, starting with "There'll be blue birds over . . . "

Rare color
Ken rarely posted anything in color, unless it was a very old circus poster from his huge collection of circus images. This one appeared during one of his periodic playful feuds with Miss Magnolia Thunderpussy, who went apoplectic anytime someone posted a picture of a chubby man.
Ken captioned and titled this one "For Miss MT, note the cookie on offer."
Ipernity censorship
This is "Naked swim 117, trying one's hand at Ipernity type censorship . . . " It was an inside joke about how my former internet home, Ipernity, was finicky about just how and in what state penises were shown. It's a French site, so one would expect them to be liberal, but no. All frontal nudity had to be in members only groups, and they would shut us down for anything that resembled an erection or hinted at sexual activity. (And no, that's not why I don't post those things. It's a matter of personal taste.) Ken told me privately that he posted this mostly to see if they would suspend him. They didn't.
Venus or something else
Our last entry in the Scumbeast series is one he called "Penis arising from the sea."
Oddly, he didn't name it Naked Swim, and it doesn't look like it's rising, at least not yet.

Arboreal Art
Having lived in a rain forest for 18 years now, I appreciate trees. Today we will look at some
models posed with trees that I thing are on the artistic side. We start with a young man whose expression is hard to read . . . once you take your eyes off that other feature and look.
Jim Bender
Jim Bender posed quite dramatically on a huge piece of driftwood for what is hands down my favorite photo of the day. I only have two other photos of this amazing man. Anyone have more?
Fine art or big game?
I'm not really sure if this is fine art or something a leopard left in a tree
to come back and eat later. In any case, I like it, so here it is.
Frank Ball
Although this came to me unlabeled (for once somebody else looted from tumblr),
I'm pretty sure it's Frank Ball by Troy Saxon from 1966. I know I just did
a Saxon series a couple of days ago, but I held this one back for today.
Hanging out
Who says great looking men don't grow on trees?
Well, perhaps they don't, but they do hang from them.
More driftwood
Our second photo in the driftwood category is more casual.
The model looks like he's having a good time.
Alan Green by WPG
Finishing the Arboreal Art series with something that truly fits the title. This is
Alan Green as photographed by Don Whitman of Western Photography Guild.
If anyone has a color version of this one, I really need to have it.

Volleyball
No, that's not beach volleyball. It's volleyball played with a beach ball. There's a difference.
Today's theme is that favorite pastime of vintage nudists everywhere, volleyball.
We start with a guy at Glen Eden whom they probably nicknamed "Stretch."
Action!
This is a fairly decent stop action volleyball shot, but I can't help but feel like the guy at right is drooling or something. Maybe they gave him valium to relax enough to take his pants off.
Stationary
While this volleyball player might be setting up to serve,
I get the feeling this was set up for the photographer.
Leisurely
While more sedate than most of our pictures today,
this one does show a nice little group at volleyball.
Maintenance
Our chubby chaser special is a repost of a guy rolling the volleyball court at a nudist
resort with a barrel that had been filled with cement. Maintenance is essential,
and I'm thinking that they picked the right guy for the job.
Whack!
Our only color volleyball photo of the day shows
a player about to give the ball a big whack.
