“Close your bodily eye, that you may see your picture first with the eye of the spirit. Then bring to light what you have seen in the darkness, that its effect may work back, from without to within.”
- Caspar David Friedrich

hi i'm valerie! i'm a 20-year-old vegetarian college senior living near los angeles, california. i'm majoring in marine biology and i'm employed as a research assistant studying birdsongs. i have a massive passion for life and pretty much everything in it. my favorite thing ever is nature and you'll often finding me wandering around in it, watching documentaries, and reblogging a shit ton of nature photos. i like to express myself through drawing, painting, playing the piano, and film photography. i really like crystals, colors, live music, rainbows, skyrim, the 4 elements, math, nonfiction books and movies, libraries, tattoos, evolution, how the brain works, pretty much any scientific subject, making witty comments, not wearing shoes, cats, and a whole bunch of other stuff. my mind likes to divide its time between being very sensitive and spiritual and being very rational and logical. but my empathetic side means i have always had the ability to help people with their troubles or just be a friendly presence so never hesitate to message me if you need someone!
i always leave credit on photos i post from flickr and other sites.
