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!

Very cool and interesting image. I think the lower pipe is a discharge for the water heater relief valve.

This is my kind of shot, Tara: Not that I do many of them, but that I love the type. A few objects, so well seen and arranged (by your crop), terrific contrasts, heavy shadow vs bleaching light, contrast of rusticated stone on top and that rusted metal below and that spigot (all white and decayed with spackle) and the bright white of the bricks: You didn't just 'find' these, you coaxed them out, and you made this a terrific abstract. Claude coaxes things out too: It's a real art. The long wall is perfect foil for the metal whatever-that-is. Zoom's a must: This is first rate abstract photography T. (What's 222-40? The address? Wait---I see it! It's in the metal circle. Sneaky! Sneaky title, T!!!)
You've told me about your genealogical discoveries, and that you and Bill are 10th cousins: It's amazing. I'd say it's a 'small world', but it's a huge world and maybe there was just karma, kismet, cupidology, I don't know what. (I owe you a letter, and a response to the source photos you sent---you really did surgery on that piece! When I step down again, I'll get in touch.) This is a terrific image---sneaky title, but terrific image!

Great work the 2 of you! My brother has had contact with a Canadian in Alberta. That fellow has charted all persons in the world with our unusual last name. We originate from Kurland (between Latvia and Lithuania) in the 1400s. Genealogy is SO interesting! And both my parents are related from back in the 1700s. It shows how people have spread through the world. As for your photo, Faemike55 may be onto something! Keep up the good work! :-)

The shadows are my favorite part. What an exciting discovery you made about your mutual ancestors!

Fascinating to find such a great connection between you and Bill, Tara. Superb capture. God bless.

Worker 1: "Hey, Fred, what's this thing?" Worker 2: "I dunno...... But I got an idea... Let's stick it on the wall. Someday a photographer will come by and take a photo of it!"
You see art in the most commonplace things, Tara! The light and shadow is wonderful, and really brings out all the different textures.
