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

Another one for my bucket list. Wonderful capture through the branches.

I remember being here in May 2011 and I must say that this pic is far better than any I took.

Glad to have stirred your memory, Tara, & thanks for linking to my gallery. I like the different tones of color here as well as the play of light & shadow. The construction looks a lot more primitive here than in Mesa Verde - large areas of what looks like rough mud rather than distinct, orderly brick patterns...

It must have been quite exciting to live there, and feel totally secure from attacks from the rear.

You may me want to go back there and see the cliff dwelling. Some areas are closed due to erosion and are being repaired. Nice shot Tara.

This is such an eerie spot; I can't imagine what it must have been like living under the shadow of those cliffs! "Heavy heavy hangs over thy head..." Excellent capture!

I haven't been there but I've read everything I could get my hands on about it and googled every picture taken for centuries. LOL I feel as if I know it and surrounding habitats. Well done shot. I feel like I am "back home" - as if I once lived near here.
