I met Ruby today while I was sitting at a table in a park, drawing. Yes, the weather was that nice! Ruby and I became instant friends. She is a golden-doodle, age two, and just recently spayed. I understand she's been a good patient!

Here's a little better shot of Ruby Beach. As you can tell, the fog had rolled in, but by this point, it was starting to burn off, thankfully! Hope you enjoy!

Last year I spent a good amount of time shooting the most common Florida hummingbird, the Ruby-throated. All I saw were females, which while beautiful, lack the bright iridescent throat that gives the species its name. When I read up on them, I learned that most of them in South Florida are migratory, the males arriving and departing first. Several friends let me know that they had males at their homes well after the males must have left the area where I was shooting. I’ve recently spent many hours attempting to get the shot I had in mind, a male Ruby-throated with its ruby gorget lit up by the sun. Let me tell you, it’s not easy. I managed to get several that I thought were good, but not what I had in mind. Yesterday, I finally got one that fit my mental picture of what I was after. I’m not done and have some other poses and backgrounds I’m after and will hopefully get before they migrate out in the spring. (Or I get invited to someone’s house where they stay year long. Hint, hint.) (Archilochus colubris) (Sony a9iii, 400mm lens with 1.4 extender for 560mm, f/4, 1/6400 second, ISO 6400)

A notification on my phone this morning reminded me that it was a year to the day since I travelled out to Australia for a three week trip. Time for another look back through my photo catalogue to find some of the images from that trip that I didn't post to flickr at the time.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are such adorable little birds!
It was so much fun to watch this little female taking a bath from a sprinkler! If you look close, you can see a few water droplets from her feathers.☺️

MANY THANKS FOR YOUR VISITS, COMMENTS AND FAVES
THEY ARE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!
I spent a good bit of time photographing Ruby-throated Hummingbirds a couple of days ago, before the rains shut everything down. In all that time I did not see one male, which is the only sex that sports the ruby neck. That said, this female is quite lovely and I’m sure has many suitors.
