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

A fantastic image! What a unique and antique looking subject, and wish so much I could go to Chicago now! I love the texture, and the rust on this bell..... makes me wonder about the history of this.... most inspiring capture!

I heard your bell :))) Thank you SO MUCH:))I`m ENVIOUS!!!!Enjoy the most you can, you all:))) and your photograph is wonderful as always!

Thanks for the invite. You guys will have a blast! If I hadn't gone to San Diego LAST weekend I would have planned to join you guys. My bank account, my family and my sandpaper eyeballs would mutiny against me if I was gone 2 weekends in a row. You'll just have to plan the second annual writer's/photographer's meeting so I can make it!! By the way, this photo of the bell is absolutely beautiful. You captured it well - awesome textures. Is the sound as rich, deep and somber as it looks?

The bell and the summons are both great! Have a wonderful time, and please take many photos of our R'osity friends!

I am so looking forward to this. The bell is great and we are looking forward to meeting everybody who can make it.

Chicago,.....rolled through it a few times recently, but it's been a while since I've stopped. I'll have to make sure I have on the proper Packer attire for this epic occasion. My mom will be accompanying us as well, she's read so many of the comments left on Cheri's and my posts, and is completely intrigued that people we had never met could possibly be so warm and caring. I'll try really hard to be on my best behavior,....but I'm not promising anything! This is going to be soooo cool! Okay, maybe I'll forgo the Packer stuff.

Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town.....the Bears, Cubs, White Sox, the El, Sears Tower, O'Hare International Airport, Al Capone, Lakes HOMES.... How can you even afford to go traveling during this recession? Excellent shot of the Asian dinner bell. Come and get it!

Hope this nets a few more visitors to join your crew on Saturday. Thanks for thinking of me...I'm waiting with bated breath (that's the correct spelling:) for postings from Chicago or at least shortly thereafter. May the weather be sunny and warm!
