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

Looks like a monument built by the same Neolithic people who built Fountainhendge. Nice moody atmosphere.

It's so fitting that I see this shot now! There are pilings in Chicago, in the neighborhood Corey and I lived in, once upon a time, in a neighborhood far, far away...we'd go there and talk about random things, or craft story ideas that were never actually written down...at least not yet. The starship, Impala was born near such pilings, but it's story has yet to be written, but I have a bit of background information on a particular character with a braid. Corey has been made quite familiar with the "boys with braids" and I wouldn't be surprised if he remembers the snips and snatches of their language. Yeah, I spent a lot of time near the "Rogers Park Mystery Pilings" developing a language spoken by cute, suspiciously-human looking aliens with a habit of wearing braids--well, a single braid, similar to a Jewish earlock, only less symmetrical, since there's only one...oh, and they wear ponytails also. The hairstyle is called "Shadva" but there's a longer story behind that, and don't even get me started on the...um...well...the whole complicated relationships between "shadva" and "uushuut". Suffice it to say that hairstylists on a particular planet have quite a lot to say about braids and ponytails and the proper grades of lacquer used to keep them all nice and shiny. Anyway, it's fitting that I see this image, even though I went off on a tangent involving alien hair, and the names of two particular styles. Pilings do that to me and I absolutely love these! This image has actually triggered thoughts of that so-far-unwritten alien race, and things are coming back to me. I suspect this might have sparked something, and why wouldn't it have done so? It's gorgeous. Wonderfully moody. I love the vibe this imparts and I could easily see myself standing where you stood, spinning all sorts of stories in that thinking part of my brain. This is super!
