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!

My clock says it is 10:56pm as I write your comment. My mom's Clematis looks the same way. for some reason, though, I never associated Addam's Family with them. thank you for the wonderful memories Happy new Year, when It comes, that is!

You know, Little Thing 1 and Little Thing 2 are two of my favorite characters in anything, ever!. And this is a perfect reminder of that! I love the natural wonderfulness of this and your crisp clarity just makes it jump and jiggle in all of the best possible ways. This rocks and it's a great way for me to start off the New Year. Of course, I also started off the New Year watching Battlestar Galactica. I'm such a nerd! And on that note, Happy New Year to you and I'm hoping that 2012 is the year I get to Seattle!

WOW! This is super beautiful, Tara. I just love this. Better than any fireworks I could imagine :) Have a Happy and healthy New Year, my friend :)

Hmm, Dr Seuss portrayal of the Things? I like the thought of that. For some odd reason I'm also thinking Muppets... These are so wonderful to see, and your monotone works perfectly!

I don't recall exactly where you found these...maybe up a canyon above Provo? Wherever it was it was fun going there and being there with you. As for Dr. Seuss...here's a fitting quote for us for the new year, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” Looking forward to lots more trips, camera in-hand, during 2012:* Oh, ha, ha...did I mention I really like this little patch of roadside seed heads? Well, I really do!

A super capture of these seed heads, they remind me of the fire works that have been let off all around the world to bring in the new year. We are now past lunchtime on the 2nd day of the new year. I hope you have a super 2012.

Very cool "Things" you have here, Tara! I think they would make for a great sci-fi story.... The Things That Ate Seattle" or something like that! :-D A Very Happy New Year to you and Bill and Mandy, too!!
