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

Stellar backlighting emphasizes the textural beauty of this sublime flower, T. Curious...I've had the same affliction for months already. I sound like I'm gargling while immersed under water.

This is probably all our fault, making her yak on the phone when she has laryngitis. I can attest that her voice was waning as we talked, Cheri had the phone on speaker, but I still had to keep leaning closer and closer in order to hear what Tara was saying. I was so far off balance that at the end, I actually fell out of my chair. I'm grateful that by the time that happened, She'd already said good night, and I didn't have to explain my embarrassment or the crashing sound to her, because she didn't kno........oh crap! This is an absolutely beautiful shot Tara,...and so much like you. Bright like your wit, beautiful like your heart, and warm like your voice (for as long as it lasted).

Hey there is was good to get to talk to you last night, however I feel guilty because I am sure that conversation didn't hep matters any. It actually sounds like that summer cold that is going around, by the kicking your butt and making you tired part. This is an old southern cure I obtained from my big brother when I got pneumonia, this seriously works. Take two shots of E & J's Special Brandy put in hot black tea with a teaspoon of honey, this is the important part... don't drink it all at once because it will put you to sleep. Reheat it as necessary and take a few sips at a time. Note it works if you drink the whole thing too, but it really knocks you out! Dave really fell out of the chair LOL. Take care, hope to talk to you soon when feel better. The pansy is beautiful like your soul. Awesome capture, amazing lighting.
