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

I think this is the very best swamp photo I have ever seen. The combination of reflections and shadows is very appealing. Thanks for sharing.

Outstanding composition. The reflections are so clear & smooth - almost glass-like. And I love the way that big tree on the right spreads out at it's base - it reminds me of certain Tiffany lamp bases...

Entrancing! It makes me wonder what lives in this beautiful wet place. It also reminds me of the time when Fritz set off after a deer into the wet wood and was gone for 20 minutes. When he finally returned he was completely black with mud and I was traumatised with worry!

Walked through places like this before. Not a pleasant experience. Even on the trail, not pleasant. Mosquitoes that can carry a small dog away.

A wonderful capture, Tara! The reflections are great, too! There is just something magical about these primal areas - so fascinating.

Such a lot is to see on this cool capture, Tara. You have captured a most mystery mood, which makes me curious about how the landscape is there. The reflections are 'wow', so many of them, huh? I hope you two have a great time, anyway, and I wish you a lovely Sunday, Tara & Bill :)

A very layered moody capture of a very layered moody sight. The plants undulating in the water (and silt and whatever else creates those striations in the water) are harmonized by a strange almost imperceptible vertical element in the trees, like the whole piece is painted over in gentle horizontals. And there are certain predominating hues too, which unify all this growth and undergrowth. To me, this is filled with an "underneath" feeling---ie, we're under the peaks of the trees, "inside" the expanse of trees and water---so we feel like we're inside one's 'home', though this is a home of nature rather than brick, etc. A low, close-to-earth capture of an inner world, and you did it with sensitivity and a deep reverence for its sweep and quiet. Very sensitively done, Tara. You have taken to this part of the country with total ease...
