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

"I am so sorry to be late with this! I have been thinking about you, checking my calendar every day so I have not forgotten ... and then ... I forgot! : (I love you very much. And you want only good things in the coming years." HUH? The flower speaks Afrikaans!!

Soo, do you want to compete with nature about the most beautiful shade of the yellow color? No? I thought so! :)

Thank you my dear friend! Yeah - my birthday on Monday just slipped past! I was soooo busy at work that I really did not even think of it! This is the most wonderful gift and I like Bill's lemon and chocolate idea!!! That is exactly what it reminds me of! Ek lief jou net so baie en waardeer jou vriendskap meer as wat jy ooit sal besef! xxxx

Only you Tara can capture the perfect "birth" day gift! Happy B'day (late) but celebration all the same Carin!

lol, I like Bill's idea too. Another of your sprawling macro flower shots, with your usual intensity and light (as you so often do with closeups of flowers). And a big burst for your dear friend Carin. I translated the Afrikaans (just to be sure it wasn't some private joke or something---hey, it could happen!), and it was beautiful! A beautiful dedi, and a beautiful capture for someone I know you hold very, very dear. Happy Birthday Carin, and many many more. Fine work, Tara.

Jy kan die taal goed praat! Baie mooi kleur, Klaaf (Clive)

What a shot! Okay, I have no clue as to what message you've conveyed to Carin, but that's okay. Afrikaans is such an odd language...I mean, it has vowels in it! Imagine that! I mean, woah, there's a vowel in every word! Hmmm...I think I've been spending too much time listening to those languages from the Eastern fringes of Europe where vowels may or may not appear in written form! Just ask Pavl about where the "e" in his name went! But aside from all of that, this is a marvelous photograph! Such brilliant color...Yellow is one of those colors I have a hard time capturing properly. You've done a splendid job here, and I love the details. You do flower macros so incredibly well...Okay, you do quite a lot of stuff incredibly well, and this is just one of those marvelous photos AND birthday dedications that makes my day, and it's not even my birthday! This shot rocks!
