My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
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!
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!

Well, you know I'll just LOVE this!
It's a perfect example of my theory that for an image to be successful it should make you want to cross the room to see it better.
Wonderful in every way!

Indeed this is sooo interesting to think about and to observe, thereby is this a very creative and lovely photo, also by its superb colours. It's a fantastic display, dear Tara! btw I'm also thinking about what flower this is, I thought Helenium, or Rudbeckia, but they don't have such seed. For me unknown, or one of the Buddha's did something with this flowers, some mysterious thing, LOL !

This is so lovely; the light is perfect, and the degrees of clarity to softness are perfect. Well done!

What a fabulous shot and "cycle" is a perfect title for these beautiful flowers and their older siblings. :)

You managed to find an awful lot of variety in a very small space - well seen & very well composed...

it's never easy for me to "pick up" somewhere in your gallery. Because of my long comments, I can't comment on everything; and picking what to comment on is like favoring one child over the other when you love all of them equally. So I just go with the flow, and remind you that I think no less of the others. So...
I love the concept that this garden shows the many cycles of a plant, as a symbol of Buddha's teaching. Like Claude says, you show much variety in one space. With the stems---esp at top, where they rush by us in diagonals (and there's one that cuts right in front of the flowers)---you captured a strangely "moving" sight, where the flowers seem to appear in the midst of a whooshing time warp in the background, even more a symbol of buddha's teachings. And the flowers are a wonderful array of textures and hues, which you show both clumped and spread apart. A very active photo, for a little 'snippet'. And your crop brings home the excerpt-out-of-life feeling, which only more gets at Buddha's teaching, ie that our lives are but snippets of the cosmos. Beautifully done. And a beautiful little 'miniature' too.
