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!

Such an inviting photo, in a most lovely soft mood and color. I would love to drink a glass of wine, by imagine those tender purple will flow around my face, and I can smell and feel it as an embrace. Wonderful!

Very elegant & delicate image - reminds me a little of Georgia O'Keefe's large flower abstracts - great work...

No one does these intimate O'Keefe-style shots like you do! I'm still standing in line for the ladies room, I hope the intermission keeps going for a while longer... ;p

Well, I did go get a cup of coffee! WOOOOOW - this is sooooooo soothing, Tara! The soft, pastel purple, rich detail, and lighting makes this seem to glow... A beautiful work of art, my dear friend! And now, let the show continue.... ;-D

I love how you have given this, this title and then got our imaginations into gear. It is a splendid capture and a great interpretation.

Looks like a ghost flower.

you already know what I think of the series, and this is the beautiful finale. It's beautiful, sumptuous, flowing, swirling, and there's a gentle grain which gives it wonderful texture. The light on the highlighted sections---esp the little tentacles in the low foreground (can't tell if they're stamens)---is almost as if they were lit from within. Beautiful soft light...These closeups of yours naturally take away from the larger structure; but they bring out the inner essence as a result. And the vortex in the center---with a slight bit of light before we plunge into eternity, so to speak---is very expressive, showing just how vast a flower is, and far beyond the "pretty" that's most commonly associated with the flower. Your closeups bring out their oceanic qualities. A great shot.
