”She has long been of the land. She’s been formed by the truths of the wilderness, by the wonder and the myths that nature inspires, by love and loss…” -Dean Koontz, The Forest of Lost Souls
Sometimes, when reading, there are parts that I end up reading over & over again because I connect with them so deeply. This quote is definitely one of them. Without nature, I would be a shell of who I am.

I love this proverb because it reminds us in such an elegantly put way to stay grounded while also realizing our potential in life. Two beautiful things to strive for!

I love these journals because they’re meant to depict dreams of the sky, forest, and sea. The color combo is great, as well!

seclusive (adjective)- preferring to be alone, away from other people
Welcome to my little corner of the web!
My name is Molly and I live near Lake Michigan in Wisconsin with my husband, Mike, and our four rescue cats - Hazel, Floki, Ivar, and Torvi (plus several more cats & dogs in spirit).
I chose Seclusive Nature as my handle because Mike and I are very introverted and feel most ourselves when we’re alone (or together), especially in wild areas.
Mike and I both have wanderlust in our veins. We love to explore, especially now that we have a camper van for our adventures. We are also huge fans of all animals, which is the main reason we went vegan in 2006. Our vegan journey has been an adventure of its own which we enjoy tremendously.
I’m an avid reader, a bit of a notebook (& bandana) junkie, and a fervent nature lover. I am also quite fond of street art and a firm believer in embracing your wild.
Flickr is the only platform I’m active online. I use it as a creative outlet as well as a visual journal, a microblog, and for organization of my photos & videos. While I’m not here for the social aspects, I hope my posts bring some joy to others.

Thanks so much for visiting!
