Happy National Nude Day from the best beach in California! 😉🏖️🌊☀️ @blacksbeach.bsky.social

Selfie from the Black’s Beach parking lot in California. I’m shirtless and wearing a red baseball cap. Behind me is the steep trail leaving down to the beach with the length of the beach below it. The sky is partially cloudy.

Incredible, action-packed trip back east: one Michelin star meal, two cities, two hit Broadway shows, 3 presentations, lots of catching up with colleagues and friends, and infinite cups of coffee. It’s been a blast, and I’m ready to head back to Cali! Hope everyone having a great weekend. ❤️🌆✈️

As the priest led the morning prayer to open Christ the Redeemer to the masses, I felt nothing but gratitude. I am privileged and lucky to be here. Thanks for the beautiful memories, Rio! 🌈

I didn’t bring my phone to the beach, but while I was on a cliff overlooking the ocean a beautiful women approached me and offered to take my Polaroid. I am holding my Polaroid photo with the beach in the background. 📸: Petra
