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

What a wonderful and beautiful place. And, as usual, you have done a superb job of catching the light.

So very strange to see the neat rows of barrel cacti in the arid border next to the much looser stand of euphorbia looking almost lush next to the water. The reflections are so lovely that they make the ordered prickles seem almost unpleasant. Maybe it's my horror of straight lines!

A wonderful selection of greens and a very well composed image Tara.

What is there not to love ? - this is right up my alley Tara, being a former window dresser/visual merchandiser by trade ! - I find this image absolutely stunning ... I can see, what you see, maybe our 'new eyes' helped a wee bit ;P
I find this so exciting, because I also have some of those 'pricklies' growing in my garden - almost wild, can't stop them and why would I ? thanks for such divine order in the house (or garden)
Brilliant work

Love the contrast between the sharp view of the actual cacti and their reflections in the pool. Superb composition!

What a brilliant photo! I love the contrast between desert plants and lush surroundings. These reflections are really gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

A really lovely Capture with the reflection pool, which I guess is on a higher level than the cacti. Here it almost looks as if the cacti live on the edge of the water. Cant be :)

This is so lovely! That's a wonderful design for a pool, and your POV is perfect!
