“We are all filled with a longing for the wild. There are few culturally sanctioned antidotes for this yearning. We were taught to feel shame for such a desire. We grew our hair long and used it to hide our feelings. But the shadow of Wild Woman still lurks behind us during our days and in our nights. No matter where we are, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed.”

I was out and about earlier and there were loads of bluebells scattered and all I could think of was you.
Really beautiful image Xx <3
The colors in this photo are extraordinary. Little Red into The Woods.
I love this so much xx
This is just fabulous – like a real woman of the woods out there and caught in a photo x
A beautiful photo that tells a story. 🙂
Wow, I love this – the words, the beautiful scenery, and how utterly awesome you look! Your long hair and tail plug, you look like you belong there.

Yessssss. Oh god, I hope this inspires a whole series of tail-in-the-woods photos! There is indeed a wild creature in all of us, and this is a lovely representation of that!
I love being wild outdoors too.
Lovely photo !!!
Xxx – K
I’m with Jo and feel inspired! Glorious photograph and now I want to take some outdoor tail pics too.
Bluebell woods will forever make me think of you naked in them.

An ethereal feral picture and a beautiful quote to further the story. Glorious. This is one of my favorites of yours.
Such a gorgeous photo, don’t think I’ve seen you in a tail much that I can recall
Oh how wish I could howl with my fingers. Wow this is epic x
Absolutely stunning image! Such a woodland creature, and I have both tail envy and bluebell woodland envy…
Funnily enough I’m just rereading the book…

Such a cheeky shot (pun intended), I love it.
Gorgeous! You look a lot like a wild animal out for a frolic for sure.
The quote and the photo are so wonderfully matched, whereas the beautiful bluebells are such a contrast with your flaming red hair.
I love the depth of this shot and how you fit right in with nature around you–so gorgeous!

Hmmm…I need to frequent the woodlands I used to and see if I discover any wild women lurking around 😉
This image is making me do just meow! You’re like a chameleon Molly, every time something/someone else. It’s like you’ve got so many different characters to show. I love this one. It’s so beautiful and dreamy…
love the setting, and, the black tail.
