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

Ok, I get it. You use a tripod. Your macros are absolutely razor sharp.

hmmmmmmmm, I always knew these as Violas. Related to the pansy I believe. But no matter what I might have called it, I now call it splendid! The blur of the one in the back is great.

Very pretty, Tara. So you actually got some wind, eh? All we got was a warning; didn't even lose many leaves.

Wonder full shot of this hardy little flower, I say hardy because we have some of these and they even manage to grow out of the cracks in the pavement. Tomorrow I will be having my jabs in hospital, maybe dance a jig when I get home. Beautiful clarity and detail Tara, as always. Bravo!!!!!
