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 of some great flowers, I've noticed that bugs often show up on pictures even when you didn't see them when you took the picture.

So beautiful! I just love the bright color in these flowers and you did a super job of showing us just how pretty they are. And your little bug friend is an added bonus.

Alright, you are going to tell me now - to get out more often - because this is the very first time, that I have ever seen yellow poppies, only ever reds ! (you almost want to squish them and butter your toast with them ;-)) and what a joy they are to drool over with a little bonus - just perfect. BB

My California poppies have only just begun to sprout green, it will be a while before there are buds and blooms! This is gorgeous!

Okay, you're probably not going to be surprised but the little spotted beetle is the first thing that I noticed once I saw more than the thumbnail. I love these little guys. The little visitor is perfectly positioned to show off those spots and that wonderful insectoid figure! This is marvelous, and what's funny about these beetles is that later in the year the green fades to a more seasonable color! Nature is so wonderful! You have created a marvel here too! I love it! Feel free to photograph more insects. You're so good at it!

Spectacular poppies! Gorgeous color and the little visitor is the perfect complement. Have you introduced it to Andrea's fly?
awjay
lovely color...the bug is a bonus

...And his outfit compliments the flower, too! The little guy (gal?) obviously has great fashion sense! Must be one of Chip's little friends! Delightful shot, Tara!
