Blake Lively is easy on the eyes. Although I wasn’t the biggest fan of the actress when she first started out, I came to appreciate her on-screen abilities following her turn in director Ben Affleck’s “The Town”. Not only is she incredibly attractive, she’s also a pretty good actress. Imagine that! Just don’t hold “The Green Lantern” against her. Although a lot of people seem to dislike that movie with a passion, I honestly didn’t think it was that bad. Admittedly, Lively’s presence in this slightly underwhelming superhero flick may have had something to do with that.

During a recent getaway with beau and “Green Lantern” co-star Ryan Reynolds in upstate New York, Lively hopped aboard a rowboat with her family and friends in an effort to escape the trials and tribulations of celebrity life. In order to help soak up the sun, the “Gossip Girl” actress donned a modest bikini, which was captured by an opportunistic shutterbug who just so happened to be in the area at the time. If you look closely, you can see Reynolds hanging out in the water. Sorry, ladies — that’s about all you’re going to get.

If you’re at all curious to see what Lively looks like sans most of her clothing, then the pictures you see embedded below were taken with you in mind. Since it’s impossible to form an opinion about anyone without first taking stock of what people on Twitter think, have a look at some Lively-oriented tweets below. A lot of people seem to love her.

Director Oliver Stone’s “Savages”, which stars Blake Lively and a slew of other attractive individuals, is currently in theaters. From what I understand, it’s not for the faint of heart.
