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

yeah, instant fav for me too...another of your wondrous flower shots, another intimate view into the heart of the strangest & most opulent plant-form on earth (the 'sexual organ' of the plant kingdom, all draped out in its most sumptuous costume for its suitors). I know what you can do with whole flowers, and how you handle groups of them; but you're equally inspired with closeups. The interior looks like it goes on forever with that red plush carpeting leading into a deep undulant cave. (Are those stamens? i don't know what those are, but they're like one of those scarves from the Roaring 20's!) And the folds around the center are mysterious, multilayered and beautiful. Who needs PS layers when you have this! This is gorgeous, a Tara shot to the core, and it invites one in and in and in. An opulent piece of seeing.
