My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
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!
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!

I see thirteen (maybe 14--one with a cloaking device) and well...I love 'em all. They look so...well...official. Funny how Herons are like that, they also remind me of an avian species in David Brin's Uplift Universe...intriguing, squawking aliens with high technology and a convoluted government. I love their various postures and the one nearest the top of the tree with the slightly ruffled head-crest feathers. I think I spotted the one with the new lens as well, and yeah, I'm sure he'll get a good capture of Denise, probably a weird sort of self-referential one where he captures her capturing him, capturing her as she captures him, as Proust would put it...only with a few more convolutions. As for the photograph itself, I love the light and the details, the way you've captured the different textures between heron feathers and tree foliage. The light is superb, and the shadow-play down low is really compelling...I feel like I'm led into the picture on the ground floor and have to scale the tree trunk to get to those guys on top, obviously enjoying the nicely green balcony. Wonderful work!

Excellent exposure! I hope nobody's care was parked under there;). Well done.

OMFG! I've never seen that much herons together in my entire life! American herons just have got to be that much more gregarious than European ones. They're ALWAYS solitary sightings over here.
