WELCOME!
I am so glad YOU are here!! Come right this way to meet your guide!
Thank you for joining me on this WildLife quest. My name is Lilly Briscoe, and I will be your tour guide through this exciting voyage! I am here to be a pathfinder in discovering the vast and fascinating lives of the animals, plants, and environment that surrounds us day in and day out. My hope is to also bring light to the profound and limitless Trail of You! And of course, I hope we have loads of fun together!
The Universe, which includes all the seen beauties and unseen power are around and within You - and You are a unique expression of this.
There are times we assume we are not enough, we downgrade our worth by comparing to others, and in turn may feel we don't matter - but You are an absolutely remarkable piece to the infinite puzzle of Life. We each have a Wild Life within, waiting to be recognized and remembered. Seeing the waves of the ocean, hearing the wind through the trees, looking up to see a free bird flying are all reflections of Your Being, for we are all made from the same Matter.
Yet no one, nor one thing is You! You are the only You who exists and that is why the work to unveil Your individual Wild is so vital!
"She imagines accepting it all. The way she accepted nature...She imagined seeing herself as just another brilliant freak of nature...And in doing so, she imagined what is was like to be free" (pg. 143)

As your guide, I have created a personalized WildLife Refuge of 9 native animals who live in this beautiful land here on the Oregon Coast. I hope these drawings and the journey through the Refuge will help to enhance your understanding of the importance of the plants and animals, forest and ocean that surround each one of us. And YOU have a vital purpose and part in all of it! Are you ready to discover your WILD?
Below are a handful of places that were an inspiration throughout my journey while living on the Oregon Coast and seeing all that lives within this diverse ecosystem!
Secret Beach at Cape Meares, OR
The soaring Eagle glides through the clear skies above the horizon of the glistening, infinite seas.
Elks Trail - Manzanita, OR
While hiking to a breathtaking view, Elk graze on the wayside peacefully just feet away!
Tunnel Beach, OR
Walking through a dark and rocky tunnel to emerge into a view of soft sands and with searching eyes, hidden treasure of agate and shells can be found.
Pacific City, OR
During many nights of watching the magnificent sunset, Pelicans are seen surfing the ocean waves - this practice is called Wave-Slope Soaring!
