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 love your "AT LAST!" At the closing of the ceremony, the song they played was "At Last" by Etta James. :)

Congratulations! You may have told me about this before, but I didn't remember the specifics (dates, whereabouts), and if I forgot it's because of my forgetfulness these days, not because of the event! Congratulations to Trent and David, and to Washington for finally joining the growing list of states who've done what should've been done for years. I'm very happy for them both, and for everyone else that law welcomes. It's a great capture, they both look so happy, and you caught their beautiful tuxes, with the upright collar (an old style still in use, folded over the tie, and black tie too!), you caught the flower on both, the pleats, beautiful profiles, and Brittany's big glowing smile right between them, glowing for all the reasons you say and more. And her beautiful yellow necklace as a tie between them all. A beautiful portrait, beautifully cropped too; and great congratulations to them and to you as part of their family. And congratulations on 2500! That's a huge number, Tara! And so much quality packed into it too! Here's to another 2500 and more and more after that. A wonderful way to celebrate 2500 images---congratulations all around!

Congrats on the 2500th! And a very special congratulations to David, Trent and Brittany! I am thrilled for them. Please give them each a huge hug! I'm still waiting for the "other" pics as discussed!

A heart warming shot, Tara & congratulations on your 2500th post - both for the quantity & the quality. Oregon has had a complex back & forth on same sex marriage, but last month a federal court ruled that a 10-year old constitutional amendment banning same sex marriages was unconstitutional & now same sex couples are free to marry in this state. And contrary to what narrow-minded bigots & haters have warned, it has not affected any heterosexual marriages & has not led to the collapse of our civilization...

LOL! I know ... my marriage is as stable as ever, and yours seems quite solid, as well! I'm not sure how we're supposed to have been adversely affected by all this. I don't feel any less married than I did before! :)

I add :" Congratulations!"

Oh, oh, oh - I nearly missed this one ... I wouldn't have wanted to miss it for the world - what a joyous occasion ! I am also grinning from ear to ear, this is such good news for your brother and his partner. One great big happy family now at last - 'CONGRATULATIONS' to all ! BTW - and congratulations on your milestone as well Tara, BB

As my Polish grandmother would have said, "MAZEL TOV!" You mean to say that same sex marriage is legal in Washington and you're still allowed to be married to a man? Well, that doesn't sound right. After all our nation's greatest patriots PROMISED us that marriage would be destroyed. Hmm, what else are they wrong about? Yeah, I know, everything. Ok, rant over. What glorious news and a brilliant image to accompany the announcement. Such a happy trio. I hope it lasts forever. And 2,500? You must be exhausted. All this on the same day my Washington friend Gabriel finally popped to question to his girlfriend Heather. She said yes. Another one bites the dust. (:-D

I love this shot! It is so joyful. Really excellent. Wonderful composition and capture of the love and joy they feel. Great choice for your 2500! The times they are a-changin' and it is wonderful. There are even signs of change in Texas. I'm not holding my breath, but change will come, even here. On this issue in particular, I have faith in the younger generation. Many congratulations to everyone!

Many congratulations on your 2500th, my friend, and what a great photo you did, to make a real party of it. Brittany's smile is so very brilliant and happy. 2500 X wonderful!

Superb capture Tara. God bless.

To my two brothers-in-law...Congratulations x 100:) Brittany's sparkling countenance reflects the feeling of all in attendance that day. This is a classic family picture that belongs on a wall or in a frame someplace special. Your photo is a celebration of true joy. Superb Hon.
