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

Finally after 3 years I have successfully kept 3 lilacs alive! I am hoping to see some sort of blooms this year... hope being the key word in that phrase. Your shot here really makes me want them to bloom though. Excellent.

Gorgeous lilacs! I always loved seeing them in the spring. Never have been able to get them to grow in Southern California. Too warm for them. Bunny

Fabulous and superb in its purplish elegance, Tara! I never ever see lilacs around here. Whenever I see the title, Bursting Forth, it reminds me of the scene in the movie, ALIEN, where the baby creature, mean as hell with all those long pointed teeth, bursts out of the chest cavity of the sick astronaut lying on the gurney, while his mates look on in horror. And, I like Winter so much I'm not that anxious for Spring to arrive. Especially in consideration of the perpetual drought conditions down here.

I agree, I can stand by a tree with my nose to a flower for ages. A wonderful clear capture of these beautiful flowers.

The absolute crispness of color and form of this lovely against the abstract and shadow or the green is fantastic T! Now where have you been keeping this? Instant fav for me.

Me too! Lilac is one of my favorite smells; the beautiful flowers are really secondary. Thanks for reminding me that I need to find a place to plant one in the new yard. :-)
