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

Fantastic shot.

I don't think I've ever seen butterfly bush this color. I seen photos of the red, orange and yellow but this delicate and warm blue is just incredible. Does it have a scent or is it just all glitz?

I love butterfly bush. It's such a showy thing, and so brightly colored. Thank you for reminding me of one of my favorites on the cold winter night.

Holy smokers, Ceesco...I've never heard of or seen a butterfly bush in all my born days! But, being floral challenged, no surprise there. This is an extraordinarily lovely type of bush, so clean, neat and fully packed. Stellar POV, DOF, purple color, clarity and textures in this wonderful macro, Tara!
