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

Superb capture for the challenge Tara. I can just say to everyone it is wonderful to partake in the challenge and there is so much variety of different captures of textures to be seen. Feel welcome to partake and look in the photography forum for the texture challenge. God Bless.

Amazing, and if I'm able, I'm gonna make at least one challenge entry before this month is over. Ah, there's drama this month: the kind that means an end of an era, and that is a good thing. Anyway: I love this image; it's quite elegant and it reminds me of the leaves I saw scattered on various tables in the Czech Republic. Good memories. Brilliant work, and the crackled texture of what appears to be a book cover is completely compelling, as is the leaf itself. I love the wonderful juxtaposition. The background is just as important as the leaf itself. Super!
