Happy Christmas and Happy New Year
.
.
Wishing You Peace, Love and Merriment
.
At this time of year celebrating our family and friends is an ever-present thought. We can only hope that we can bring together a thoughtful and loving experience with them in person or in thought as this greatest of holidays enfolds. And while thinking of this naturally brings us closer together, we can also think of how we can celebrate them in other ways. One way is to gift to them cards and well wishes, or through my prints available only here, exclusively to you when you visit my site Rich Collins Official Website

Thanksgiving Without a Turkey?
.
Really? No Turkey?
You can choose this print here |
We are seriously considering a full-blown, well I should say, almost All-Out Thanksgiving Dinner with all the trimmings, just no Holiday bird or Ham.
Nope we are not vegetarians, and certainly not Vegans, not that there's (Jerry Seinfeld) anything wrong with that. But we've been doing a lot of reading and testing the healthy waters of food intake choices. Eggs with mushrooms and onions, but no breakfast sausage or cheese for this morning's breakfast. Last night was broccoli cheddar soup with a lot of extra cruciferous veggies, broccoli, cauliflower and orange and yellow carrots added. No lunch yesterday and a chicken sausage with eggs and home grown red potatoes steam-fried at a very low heat. So I guess for the last 3 meals only one with meat.
It seems the older we get the more people we know who are experiencing heart and cancer issues. So it only makes sense to move in a far healthier direction when it comes to eating far less meat. Tonight it will be Sockeye salmon with some frozen or fresh organic veggies and perhaps a hard roll.
No milk, very little cheese, very little ground grass fed beef, mostly fish and some chicken and a little veal. That's how we're headed this years Thanksgiving feast. But we will enjoy all the typical holiday trimmings, the green bean casserole, yup with Campbell's mushroom soup, home-grown and mashed potatoes, stuffing, dinner rolls and cranberries. So what we substitute for a turkey? We're thinking Halibut. Next year it may be veal or elk.
Don't forget your workout, walk or run routine. I'm sure by now you have your phone set with an alarm so you can't forget to get to it everyday.
Here's hoping your Thanksgiving's Day is getting healthier too. And if you are having a turkey, perhaps this year you'll think about a natural one or a wild turkey you bagged earlier in the Spring.
Happy Thanksgiving to Y'all
And please stop by for a few minutes right now at my Photo site Thanks

Purchase Your Veteran a Print or a Cell Phone Case or a Shower Curtain |

Imagine that instead of a meal, or another cold, damp, rainy Veteran's Day Parade, you were to celebrate your Veteran with a print on canvas or even a print on wood or metal, or a gift to their liking, you could gift them something which will last a lifetime. There are so many printed items to choose from, you will be amazed at the selection.
And please wish your Veteran(s) my wish for a very Happy Veteran's Day

Mycorrhizae a Photo
.
Mycorrhizae
The symbiotic unions of fungi and root long known to help plants absorb nutrients from soil.
Here's the articleHere's fungi, but the link below is the HDR photo to view |
When you spot mushrooms, fungi, you are seeing a relationship between the roots of trees (really any plants roots at all) and the mycorrhizae or the relationship of fungi and roots, nourishing themselves, which has become to be referred to as a symbiotic one, in which (and I quote) as the fruiting tips of a vast underground lattice intertwined with those roots. The world beneath the earth is as rich as the one above. There are exceptions of course, such as the fungi that grow on downed logs, which are only different in that they are not a relationship with underground roots.
The article is fascinating, as is, I hope the print you'll see by linking to it titled, 'Mushroom in September'. Wander over to my site to view it and consider purchasing an HDR treatment, much more interesting than the photo above. Or leave a comment to let me know you've seen it.

How to Celebrate Halloween Inside Your Home
.
Celebrate Halloween Inside Your Home
Many of us have become ardent neighborhood decorators outside of our homes by buying air-balloon monsters and ghosts that wobble and sway in our front yards to the delight of the youngsters coming not only for sweet treats but to experience the rush of a frightening exposure. We plant (sort of) gravestones, witches, Frankenstein and deathly-looking figures, to include the now famous Walking Dead characters.
In light of all that I'm offering a way to celebrate inside your home by hanging a print that may not be really scary or frightening, but it is an effort to lean in that direction without being too scary even for the younger one's.
Breathing......Waiting
A Halloween Treat for Those Who Want Scary |
You can choose to hang the print in many sizes, and on metal or canvas or just matted. Or you can order a couch cushion, or a cell phone case, a shower curtain, or a tote bag, and so many other options. But hurry or you'll miss the opportunity.

Indigenous People's Day Monday Oct 14
Celebrating Indigenous people's Day
Celebrating Indiginous People's Day in partnership with Columbus Day is growing more and more popular. Honoring our Native American Tribe's legacies began in 1989, now 30 years ago in South Dakota. It has begun to spread to other states. You can read more about it here: Wiki on Indiginous People's Day
The day that has since October 12th in 1490, been celebrated, we call Columbus Day has proud as well as negative connotations and the addition of this day is now offered as a replacement to our Native Americans which Americas are now celebrating in unison with Columbus Day. It may eventually become a National Holiday, but that is yet to be decided.

Rosh Hashana Begins at Sunset on Monday
Rosh Hashana Begins Monday September 30th 2019
.
The Jewish Holiday Begins at Sunset Monday September 30th 2019 |
Rosh Hashana for the year 2019 starts on Monday, September 30th ending the 2 day celebration at sundown on Tuesday, September 31. Because the Jewish calendar is a lunar calendar, the holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day on the evening of Sunday, September 29th.
Rosh Hashana celebrates the Jewish New Year for Jewish Americans. Rosh Hashana begins on the first day of the seventh month in the Jewish calendar. The Day of Remembrance or the Day of Blowing the Shofar are other names for this holiday. Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashana are the two most important days of atonement that most practicing Jews will observe in the calendar year.
Days to the start of Rosh Hashana 2019
Monday, September 30th is day number 273 of the 2019 calendar year with 6 days until the start of the 2 day celebration/ observance of Rosh Hashana 2019.Sunset at Rich Collins website

Is Your Camera Open to Hacking?
.
If you have WiFi turned on, turn it off Right Now
I want you to rush over to read an article on Mashable before you're hijacked
Hackers can hijack your photos on WiFi
It's already happening, so until DEFCON can get the word out to get this issue raised and manufacturers can rewrite the code, just go read this and be careful when choosing to use WiFi, that is, use it if you need to then immediately shut it down. And without a date update the firmware on your camera. Yup just like when you first bought it. Do it now. Keep your images safe.
Had any of these notices appear on your camera screen? Let's talk

Maryhill Museum of Art
The entry to Maryhill Museum of Art in SW Washington
My print which you can order here
https://www.maryhillmuseum.org/ is available in many printed forms, from photographic papers, to canvas and acrylic, metal, wood, greeting card, throw pillow, duvet cover, tote bag, phone case, even a shower curtain.
Sam Hill (1857–1931), founder of the Maryhill Museum of Art, was one of the most colorful and influential figures in the Pacific Northwest in the early 1900s. He was a successful businessman, world traveler, builder of monuments, and early advocate of paved roads.
Hill commissioned the Maryhill Stonehenge Memorial to honor World War I dead from Klickitat County, Washington. The monument was dedicated in 1918—while the war was still rampant—and completed in 1929. He was also responsible for the construction of the Peace Arch in Blaine, Washington—recognizing the close ties between the United States and Canada. It was dedicated in 1921.
At Maryhill, Hill employed engineer Samuel C. Lancaster (1864–1941) and spent three years and $100,000 of his own money building experimental roads on the property—so that skeptics could see the type of highways for which he was advocating. His activism eventually prompted the creation of state highway departments in Washington and Oregon. He was also a force behind construction of the Historic Columbia River Highway and the Interstate Bridge between Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington.
The permanent Sam Hill exhibition at Maryhill Museum of Art includes some of Hill’s personal possessions, items acquired during his travels, and photos and mementos related to his favorite cause, the Good Roads Movement.

Old Amboy Grange Hall Door
To see a much better resolution link to the photo
Old Amboy Grange Door
From a bygone era of American history, though this building still exists today. I remember from the days when my Grandpa used to take me fishing. We'd get to the lake early, like 6am early, then when we had the fish in the cooler, we'd drop by the Grange Hall to boast about our catch. memories we have from our childhood never leave us, nor should they.

Face in a Rock Wall
.
.
Imagine for less than $80 you can have this print I captured in a rock wall at stream level
But beware of the ghostly aspect of this print. You can see it in the eyes, look up close, before you decide to buy Breathing...Waiting... watch it for a few moments, then get back to me
I guarantee you this is for real because I captured it at Iron Creek Falls, just East of Mt St Helen's, and it awaits your interaction of it's ghostly appearance and reaction.

Summer Trek to the Palouse...........or............?
Trekking? or Purchasing the Palouse?
If you've never been to the 'Palouse Falls State Park', near LaCrosse, Washington, I highly recommend you do so. It will be worth every mile it takes to get there.
But if driving there is simply not in your plans, you can view it here Palouse River Canyon Buttes
There so much to see, in both the scablands of the Cheney-Palouse to the basalt cliffs dropping into the canyon where the Palouse River sometimes flows like a meandering stream, or rages and races downstream to Snake River and finally into the Columbia River. And of course the massive Its an historic tale and a modern 2-3 day visit including the wild, if tame, Ground Hogs which do their best to command your attention. But be careful as they sometimes don't distinguish between your offering and your finger. Best just to watch.
