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

The amount of daylight we get each day is increasing painfully slow, and we have heavy snow forecast for today. However! Your flowery show adds light and warmth and is a very welcome sight to behold on this winters morn. Excellent capture, divine colour. Bravo!!!!!

Fabulous title! I grow the heavily scented ones, these look like they could be the same. (I nearly typed 'smell like'!)

These make one yearn for the return of spring. Beautiful color and clarity in this shot. I can almost smell their spicy scent. Bunny

Petunias seem to get left behind when it comes to admiring them closely. They don't have the flounsy petals and the complicated centers that usually attracts photographers, but the simple grace and dignity they possess always has been a favorite for me... Excellent macro.

Oh yes a really summer flower. I always use to have Petunias in my garden. I used to grow double amount, because I was always able to make the seeds sprout so well, which my Mom and Dad never could with succes. Dont know why. Now I just buy small plants. Tara this is a lovely shot and it gives me sweet mwmories. Thank you my dear. :)

Trumpet voluntary? Sounds like a classical piece of music. Stunning, I say stunning, capture with deep purple capillaries galore, my friend! This borders on sci-fi alien effects, with radiant contrasts, clarity and textures!
