My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
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!
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!

Good jazz post on this photo rendered to look like fine brushwork!

The results here are terrific, and I am so pleased the dog is old! I very much enjoy reading the name of your latest posting, and thinking it over for a few mins before I view it. I can often then say, "Ahhhhhhh", in a sort of recognition of why you may have chosen a certain name! This time however.......(well, there is a sort of top lip with a 'trumpet blister' on it, but I guess you'd have to have my imagination, which does go wandering at times!)

Hey, the sneak factor should be good for at least a couple of extra points. But be careful how far you lean over, you know who will scold you!!! Great rose, BTW, very jazzy!!

Very different, and very beautiful. This would make an excellent addition to any wall.

I did not know you painting too. This is a wonderful postwork. Looks like a national gallery item. Wonderful colors.

cool post work and beautiful roses

Okay, in my travels and excursions I've seen a huge variety of roses, but one consisting of potato chip petals is a new one on me. Where's the avocado guacamole dip? Terrific postwork in this presentation, Tara, and we really appreciate you risking life and limb by moving surreptitiously into vervoten territory to take these wonderful floral photos.

After reading goodoleboy comments, it does look like potato chips flower. I'm ready to eat some, lol. Excellent post work. Aloha

A fun presentation of this floppy, feel-good rose. I've sort of become the yard lately that other people come to admire the roses. I purposely planted 5 along the front fence just so that visitors would pluck those to take home rather than step up and nip the most beautiful ones along the front of the house.

LOLLLLLLLL I love your sneak stories, I can see it all. Sometimes I wish I was a fly on one of the roses and could see you in live sneaking around. :))) Beautiful rose and a very lovely postwork. Good idea. :)

I too like to hear of your escapades, especially since I cannot do that sneaking about any more, I have metal crutches and they click rather loudly, so sneaking for me is a no! no! I had to laugh at goodoleboy, pototo chips, what is he like? mind you I have a packet open at the side of me and there is a slight resemblance. lol Great image and postwork Tara, keep up the sneaking. Bravo!!!!!
