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

Ha, it is actually easier for me to say, "Dusk at Ducks"...??? The sky is really dramatic as reflected and your two ducks just are off in their own little world:) Good one.

Wonderful shot!

Hmmm, yes, that could get turned around rather embarrassingly!! Kinda like the kid I heard in a grocery store who yelled, "Mom, I wanna truck"--only he used "F's" for his "T's" and everyone around just cracked up. Mom just slunk out quietly!! Anyway, this is a peaceful, calm foto, and the deep tones just make it more so.

Wonderfully moody! I've always been fascinated by things reflected in bodies of water; it's always like you're looking into another world from wherever you're standing, and it's funny to see ducks floating past that other world. It often makes me think that if I look up, will I see giant, webbed duck-feet paddling through the clouds as this world could very well be a reflection seen in a pond or puddle in the real world. Ah, sometimes I wonder about myself. I love the light/dark components of this. There's color, but it all seems so muted, which heightens the mood fantastically! The clarity is amazing as well. This is a wonderful piece of work! I tried that "Ducks at Dusk" thing and I was able to say it aloud quite a few times, but it made me very glad I wasn't wearing dentures...they'd have flown out and beaned someone for sure!

This is nice..like the reflections and ripples in the water...places like this are great to get the blood pressure and stress levels down..

Very nice. I like the reflection of the sky and the ripples. The ripples remind me of a poem I used to read as a kid by James W. Foley called "Drop a Pebble in the Water" It was a favorite of mine. It's a little sentimental for my taste these days but the message is good.

What a lovely scene this is Tara. So calm and beautiful. I love the reflections on the water, but also on the water plants.

I like Chips idea of giant webbed feet! When I look at your photo I can hear the sounds that lakes at dusk produce, without the insect bites! Lovely.

I love the whole overall dark green tone of this; the darkness works well to accentuate the light reflecting in the water. And you got a shot I didn't get! Awesome!
