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!

The best sculptor is Mother Nature herself, from creating great landscapes like mountains, canyons and others to such small structures as years rings in a tree or rust at a human building... You have a great eye for such things and their hidden beauty. Wonderful catch! Congratulations for your gallery´s vote and my best wishes for 2012!

Fantastic capture!

This is where my natural 'sculptures' in the garden came from, although from one of the Great Lakes and not the Pacific NorthWest coast. Thuja (Western Red Cedar) root boles can last a hundred years and more because insects find them inedible! So the piece in the front of your pic will still be around somewhere when the pole at the back is long recycled! There is something very cosy about the space between these, a little triangle of tranquility.

I like the shades of brown, rust and grays and how they go together to make this a very pleasing photo.

Wonderful textures!

What a wonderful find, Tara! Great shot, and what wonderful textures - it almost looks like the sand washing over that wood has given it a bit of polish. Excellent!

Well worn and polished... Earthy composition, Clive
