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

Great shot! Love the colour I love iris blooms as well, although this year, due to a complete digout of the garden and late replanting of the iris roots, there were very few blooms, although next year.....

Nice macro. Irises such interesting shapes.

This close up like a piece of art. So wonderful color and a great curves and lines.

I love this, and the title is perfect. Purple happens to be my favorite color as well...which I suspect is a Leo thing...but no matter, this is a great shot! I love the details, the richness of it (richness befits purple, after all...it is, indeed a color that was originally used only BY the rich, due to the difficulty in producing purple dye.) Great work on this. I agree that the curves and natural sweeps are astounding.

Another fascinating geography of an iris; you do this better than anyone I've ever seen! Such wonderful texture and color, it's luscious!

Stunning Tara! Love the colors and texture but the swirling petals form an all together different image. Like a floral maze. Dana

I adore irises - they are my favorite flower to photograph and paint, with all those amazing textures, crevices, and colors. And this one is a beauty. CC

SWEET!!! My grandfather had several varieties growing in is garden. People came from all over to just see them as they are so rare and hard to grow here. This is not only a beautiful capture, but a wonderful trip down memory lane for me.
