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

So extreemely lovely, Tara. Yes I can understand the problems you have. Not easy to choose between a good exiting sneaking factor and to be polite to the neigbours....The first was the most exiting, wasnt it LOL !!!!!! But there could come a bonus from the politeness.... their back yards glory. :)))

This is so beautiful. This picture is telling me that winter and its gray skies are here but that spring and its full range of color is on the way. What a great thought and a great picutre to convey the message.

The contrast between greyscale and color is what makes this image so yummy! The rose really stands out! Nice work Tara! Ryan-

Beautiful roses and lighting. The selective coloring really pops them right out at you. The sneak factor to the backyard would be extremely high.
