My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
Â
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
Â
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
Â
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!Â

Delightful image.......lovely lighting and a great title! Enjoyed the narrative, too. You do have to be careful with biggish feet!

Very nicely done. Good view with double the bloom. :-) I saw some lovely dahlias at my nursery today and almost bought some but I'm not sure I know how to care for them.

When I saw this gorgeous specimen I went on the Internet to see if I could identify it, but that effort came to a rather frustrating halt when I found that one of the dahlia dealers featured offered over 350 varieties of dahlia, which means a considerable number to track down, that I didn't have the patience to go through. Anyway, a marvelous POV with obviously lovely colors and textures. Nature wins hands down. No human hand could ever achieve this effect with a spray can.
