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

One time I missed some basil flowers, so I deadheaded them and made pesto anyway!! Big mistake, it tasted like perfume!! Good to smell, NOT to eat!! Vewy beautiful flowers, though and I'm glad she missed at least this one!!

Gorgeous shot. Basil does go to seed quickly when it happens and it really changes the taste. This is a perfectly wonderful shot.

I really appreciate reading all the commentary on the basil. It's an education. Thanks for the fortuitously excellent photograph.

Very interesting narrative Tara, I did not know about pinching the flowers out. Excellent image, so Ann lost a little Basil, we gained some eye candy, I guess that evens things up. Bravo!!!!!

Lush, vivid colors and sharp textures in this macro, Tara! When Basil Rathbone's parents were thinking of a name for their new born son, I wonder if this pretty plant influenced them in any way.

Such sweet little flowers on such a tasty plant. Excellent capture. Bunny
