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

That is one big peony Tara, we used to have a large bush in our garden, I got it off somebody, planted it in the garden and got leaves, no flower, the next year was the same, leaves but no flower, I said to the wife I am going to dig that thing up it does nothing, she told me to leave it for another year, so I did and it's flowered every year since, ours are red flowers though and nothing like the size of your's. Excellent capture and a beautiful colour. Bravo!!!!!

Someone years ago said these flowers took some care and attention to grow well and so I have not planted them. I might have made a misjudgement. :-) Very nice with its papery petals and broad "skirt."
