“A hot bath! How exquisite a vespertine pleasure, how luxurious, fervid and flagrant a consolation for the rigours, the austerities, the renunciations of the day.” ~ Rose Macaulay
For those who like words and are curious, vespertine, basically means ‘of the evening’ and yes I did have to look it up but I am definitely adding it to my list of words to try to use more often.

Oooh, I love the colours in this 🙂
That is super sexy, even though it is very subtle. It almost looks like hills amidst an ocean with a bright white sky.
From the same Latin root as ‘vespers’ ~ evening prayers.
A bath is a bit like a prayer, I suppose, in that it’s a way of letting go of all of our small worries. 🙂
‘vespertine’ – this is a beautiful word!
And such a lovely image! A nice peek at a nice pussy 😉

That’s a lovely piece of writing, I’m delighted to have learned 2 new words from that! Thanks Molly – your image too is fascinating, I love it’s dreamy, hazy feel, reminiscent of the way a relaxing bath makes one feel – clever!
Love that quote – and learned a thing from it too 😉 the photo matches perfectly, so sensual too x
Well yes . . . a hot, bubbly bath, of an evening is certainly a lovely indulgence !!!

I love learning new words, so thanks for the addition, and for such a beautiful, relaxing yet sensual image to match, gorgeous! Baths seem to be the thing this week, great minds eh?! X
what a glorious sexy word and image
What a fabulous dreamlike image and an awesome word!
I love this (and Mrs Fever’s comment about letting go of things at night). This photo makes me want to slip in with you and relax.
Bath shots are always fun…very nice!!
I love how blue that water is and how clear this shot is… x
I always appreciate your more flagrant side!
I love the softness off this and the way that your body seems to melt and disappear into the water at the edge of the picture. It feels so dreamy 😊
Evening pleasures are definitely an indulgence I love.
