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 said, I always wonder about abandoned buildings like this. People locked the door (or not) and just walked away from what must have been a part of their dreams once. They didn't even take the thermometer. A poignant shot, well done.

What a fascinating thought...and photo:) Looks like those old fake brick sheets of siding even got a coat of green at sometime after they were installed. Would love to know the roadside history of this building...but no chance of that by the looks of the place.

They look like 'bad habits' now Tara but they hold out a certain beauty in a photograph like this.

I like that thought. It lead me on to think of when memories too are lost. One of the ladies at the home who has always liked my animals has got dementia since our last visit. This week she recoiled appalled as I lifted Rosie to give her, saying she only likes Retrievers. This is of no consequence of course, but much else will be confused that matters more A fascinating photo, Tara. I almost forgot....

Wonderful "grunge" details here and so much to see! The worn and tattered shingles, that great fake brick wall covering, that old thermometer and worn window frames. Wonderful! This song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNBIcfFjWOA is perfect for this image. The song is "This Old House" and still chokes me up to hear it.

OH! I love this shot and I like to think about what happened there and how people were looking and how this was looking inside then.

Grunge and character go hand in hand; I love it!

Stories untold, and memories forgotten... There's something sadly beautiful about these abandoned old buildings. Wonderful photo, Tara!

Yes indeed, a very great item for a photographer, my friend! You did it so well by shooting all the details as colours, and such sharp too. I love this oldies (for a picture, not to live in ;-))
