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

Sharp clarity, textures and stark contrast of light and dark in this stunning macro, Tara! Petals, stamens, the whole shootin' match on vivid display here. But not being able to sneak around for your pics kinda takes the fun and challenge out of it.

I like the way the shadows give it more character. Nice work. Aloha
awjay

Fantastic capture.

Well, maybe these flowers sneaked into the bouquet one night. How sneaky would that be? They're quite pretty, however they got there.
tennesseecowgirl
lol.... and a very pretty shot this is..

Very pretty. Nice clarity and soft romantic color. Great macro. I know how much fun those bouquets can be. I love it when someone in my office gets flowers from someone delivered there. As soon as they leave for the day, I'm on it. :-)

I suppose I could come up with a story or two, but my brain's so foggy it would make less sense that usual--just enough to say how scrumptious these are and yes, you should get more!!

Very interesting color of this lilly. Like a light petlas with a darker color punch.

It's fun having a sneak factor now and again, but you can't walk through life on your tip-toes, some days you just have to be bold, grab it by the throat and shake hell outta it. It seems to me you are getting your monies worth out of this bunch, and rightly so, half the time, flowers are just bought and left there, stuck in a vase, an odd glance now and again. It's great therefore when someone uses them to their full potential. That way you see, they are frozen in time and can be taken out of storage for a glance, even on Sunday's when the shops are shut. I think I will print off that bunch I bought for Pauline the other week, stick it on the table where she puts her real ones and see if she notices them, what do you think. Its your fault, you told me feel free to make something up. Beautiful capture of these wonderful lilies, the lighting is great and the colour tones are spot on. Superb macro. Bravo!!!!!

A splendid close macro, the pollen resembles fine granulated sugar. I liked the sneaky tales (fun stuff) they were so funny, how I imagined you crawling around if I recall a bit like the one under the piano or was it a table, it was brilliant! lol. Keep giving us a smile Tara.

HAHAHA!! No sneakings there. But so lovely shot it is and a wonderful light and clarity.

Such unusual blooms Tara, a beautiful capture. I love your POV. Hugs. Diane.

Nothing so bold and beautiful could ever be sneaky, my dear Tara. It's 'in your face' and proud of it - with good reason. Applause, applause! Mike

yeah but who supplied the light and the air!!! gorgeous image... when something is beautiful i tend to think not in terms of ownership as much as distribution.
