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

I love that, we don't get thistles much out in the desert! (But plenty of puns!)

Beautiful capture and colours, excellent.

Love your title!!! And it's funny, I always have this kind of picture in my mind of that same tunnel. Once the solstice passes, I feel better, knowing the days will start getting longer. Course the weather starts getting nastier, but at least there's more light!! And thistle make you happier, I know!!! (I couldn't resist!!)

Wonderful capture, love the pink color and a white tips. Cool postwork too.

Beautiful shot but cold?? I have been looking a long time into moving to the Pacific Northwest (Oregon/Washington State) because I thought the winters were mild and the summers not too hot. And everything wonderfully grey and misty. Am I wrong?

Excellent picture. I hated these things. The summer of 1980, as part of my job with a small farmer/cattle rancher, was when it rained or something important did not need to be done, I had to walk the cow pastures with a pump up sprayer and kill thistles! It was not hard to tell who was bottom ranch hand... :) I no longer hold animosity toward them!... :) lol... Todd

Thistle while you work... Terrific variety of textures in this macro of the colorful specimens in a state of repose, Tara. And, wah, it's still early fall around here, and, other than the low hanging sun, there is no sign of any winter solstice approaching. In fact, there are still some hardy souls taking their early morning walks clad in only T-shirts and thin pants.
