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

I think this tulip is smiling at you too and I do wish you a happy 50th. Have a happy day.

The colors and lighting on this tulip are just fantastic. I think it is getting ready to shout "LOOK OUT WORLD...TARA IS TURNING 50!!".

This image is gorgeous, the coloring is brilliant! I know there's some sort of rule about dividing the canvas into thirds, and having the subject off to a side, I never would have thought to do this, and it's perfect. Thanks for teaching me something today! I hope I'm not too confused here, your birthday is this Sunday? And if we want to post a special image for it, it doesn't have to be Sunday? Because Sunday is also Mothers Day, and you'd rather not have a combo. Got it! (Yeah, I'm really slow today!) Well, I'm going to cheat a little then and at least say Happy Birthday now! Just in case. And how can you be so nonchallant (spelling) about 50? My 50th is in July and I'm already having fits! LOL Great day to you!

Gorgeous colors here and I love the shine on the petals. Funny, and maybe it's because part of me is still way out in interstellar space somewhere, but in looking at the way this admittedly gorgeous flower is positioned, I can actually see a mouth with a tongue inside! I LOVE that as well as the gorgeous color captured here!
