Autumn Introduction

This fall, or autumn as I like to call it, has come quickly to my hometown in Southwestern Ontario. We dropped down suddenly in temperature, peaked for a few hot/humid days and are now back into the correct weather for the season. I personally had been anticipating these temperatures as it is part of the [...]

Scantily Clad

Nakedness is shameful, but what constitutes being naked?
