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

Congratulations on 1200! Time flies when you're having fun :) A beautiful photo to commemorate the occasion.

Ooh, this is another of those really voluptuous shots! I can so gladly get lost in it! What details! I love the warmth, especially since Chicago seems to have the opposite of warmth in abundance now! Ugh...but we might get something that looks like sunlight tomorrow. I'm not too sure! Congratulations on 1200...I'm looking forward to more than 1200 more! Your gallery rocks! And I love it here too...I like having friends everywhere, especially in Seattle, and I'm still plotting my journey out that way.

Beautiful, lush, saturated almost sexual image! Congrats on 1200. Your images are like vitamins for the eyes, one a day.

Congratulations on 1200! I began watching your gallery grow from about the 600th upload...it has been fun viewing your gradual evolution from lots of flowers (all of which were very well done) into many new areas such as architecture and portraiture and even a few airplane parts of late:) I also have grown to appreciate your postworking skills. Bottom line, watching your progress...I've come to see photography from a lot of new angles too. :)

It's funny, around here the only color like that we're seeing is from the fire place. I really like the randomness of the lines, of course the color steals the show but the lighting being right on the money needs mentioning too. Nice shot.

I'm at a loss for words to describe the beauty of these colors so I'll just say CONGRATULATIONS on your 1200th upload. I hope you realize what joy you have given us with these uploads, and how much you have taught us. Your work inspires me and delights me.

The warmest thing I've seen all day! Congrats on 1200, a virtual warehouse of wonders.

It is amazing just how creative nature can be to ensure continuation of life. Just look how the 'landing strip' is ready to receive pollen from an insect, only to shower it with its own pollen while it sips nectar. Suddenly I am looking at RR the same way. It is a community of support, sharing and growth. Tara, the lighting on this Firelight is wonderful. Keep on burning and shining for another 1200! Congrats, Clive
