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

Very nice shot!

WOW ! Look at that. Would be really exiting to know what happened to the tree about 40 years ago...if you follow the rings. Wonderful capture.

What an amazing picture, Tara. I love the various colors and textures. I, too, am curious as to what happened to the tree in its past - something interesting, I'm sure.

... this tree was probably quite "dead"... Wonderful photo!!!!

Very interesting to follow the rings all the way back to the tree's "birth". Like your smart chop/crop. Colors and textures are all right there. Well done.

Great colours! I have nearly finished my woodpile, what with this cold snap! It was all from my own garden, but I've had to order a half load from the tree man!

Look at the rings on that tree. Great picture!

I'm flabergasted! My boy just brought me 2 cut slabs last night! He knew I'd love the grain. He knows how much I enjoy working with wood and thought I'd like to take the slabs and finish them off for ??? I don't know what I'll do them for but they'll "speak" to me while I work and I'll find something wonderful to do with them. Outstanding shot.

From the thumb I thought I was seeing an arial shot of some field, very neat shot of this tree's life. : )
anahata.c
yes, great crop, allowing all that activity (the core) to radiate out into the shot. I've never seen such vastly different textures in a tree-cut before. It's like a casserole! Love the way you caught this, really nice pov Hope your eye's doing ok, btw. Hope it's not causing you trouble or pain...
