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

Can you get a half cuppa coffee with sand in it at Starbuck's with that? :-D A very fun and detailed shot, Tara!

Wonderful lighting and feel to this. Like something made of porcelain.

At first glance, I thought it was a sea urchin....but the shell is quite thick. Interesting find. Aloha

I know the sight well, wow, talk about bringing on a fit of homesick. But, yea, the shapes and stuf are cool.

Ooh, I love sand dollars...and sand half-dollars too. Beautiful low light and gleaming texture!

What a stunning little item you've captured here! It looks almost magical in the lighting that you've composed it in! So very beautiful!

A very common sight on the beaches here, but you managed to find one that reflects light in an amazing way - beautiful...

All washed up - but most likely not alone, somewhere exists the other half ? or not ;P did you take him home ? mesmerising image Tara, BB

What 'the hell' (LOL) is this kind of sea-animal, Tara!? Can you therewith pay a little coffee? I hope you will find the other half soon, my friend, because here we say, one cannot walk on half a foot. A very mysterious find, and photo, I love it.

it glows - it's beautiful!
