From last week-- I thought I'd mix in some other pics with the fall landscapes and water shots. They are still around in our yard, off and on. I think this pic really gives a feel for their flightiness-- they are always moving. Glendale, Missouri

Ruby Throated Hummingbird hovering. Taken in Lachine, Montreal
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated
One of the many birds that cme into the yard while I was having coffee.
Not sure if is a drop of nectar from the feeder or an insect that was on the feeder.
Archilochus colubris
Ruby Canyon, which carries the Colorado River for 25 miles, is in the McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area in western Colorado. From my campsite.
While walking around Airlie this morning, I passed this little bird hopping around near my feet on a pathway. I was absolutely thrilled to see this beautiful Ruby-crowned Kinglet! While I got low to the ground, he kept hopping towards me and at times, too close to focus! I like this shot because it displays his "crown", is in decent light and the snow adds something too!
A flash of green and red, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird is eastern North America’s sole breeding hummingbird. These brilliant, tiny, precision-flying creatures glitter like jewels in the full sun, then vanish with a zip toward the next nectar source.

Just used a Canon Power Shot A480 that I paid a euro for at a thrift store. Used the macro setting.
Beautiful oval verneuil ruby, very nice checkerboard size
Format 12 by 10 mm
Hand-cut by Jura lapidary in France in the 1970s
Lab produced Verneuil Rubies have the same chemical composition as natural Rubies, both have Aluminium Oxide and both have Chromium that gives the red colour. They both have the same high density of 4.0 g/cm3 and the Moh's hardness scratch resistance of 9, second only to diamond. The Verneuil Ruby is only a minute fraction of the cost of natural Ruby. The colour is also very similar, differing with inclusions. Just like lab produced Diamonds can be a beautiful gem, so likewise are lab produced Rubies. Synthetic stones are REAL and are NOT imitations or simulants.

Ish 46:3-5
3 Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly, which are carried from the womb:
4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
5 To whom will ye liken me, and make me equal, and compare me, that we may be like?

Got out early this morning in an effort to beat the heat with hopes of getting a look at the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds feeding on the Coral Bean. While the opportunities were few, this one worked out rather well for me.

As the new year approaches, I thought it would be time for another forced perspective shot of Ruby, my 1/18th scale model 1930 Alfa Romeo parked by the bird pond in our retirement village. She will be 95 years old in the new year - older than most of the residents in the retirement village here!
Ruby looks great from any angle, but the rear view highlights many little details including the instruments on the dashboard which feature real metal chromed surrounds and actual glass faces over the dials. Those wonderful spoke wheels are all removable by undoing the spinner lock. She has real rubber Pirelli branded tyres (tires), and they even feature an air valve - a tiny detail I have not found on many of my other model cars of this scale.
What really stands out for me is the fact that back then (the 1930s) they had the wisdom to include two spare wheels. I know roads would have been rougher back then and tyre quality would not have been as good as today's modern tyres, but it is a stark reminder that these days we are lucky if we get any spare wheel at all. You might get a space saver if you are lucky - most of which can only be used on the rear - but the current trend is to give you a can of spray (useless if you get a gash in the sidewall of the tyre). All so they can save weight to meet fuel efficiency standards.
Most people are probably lucky enough to go through their motoring lives without ever having a puncture, but somehow, I have managed to have at least 50 since I started driving 45 years ago. Give me a full size spare tyre any day. Space savers and repair kits are only good for around 80km before you must find a dealer and have the tyre properly repaired. Fine if you live in a city and are near dealers who can help, but hopeless for rural folks who may be a long way from any tyre retailer or may be on an overnight journey.
The moral of the story from car manufacturers (and government regulators) today is - "please get a flat tyre in cities or towns only, and preferably during business hours.....we have graciously included this advice for your convenience!"
End of rant - I feel better now! ; )
For Smile on Saturday - What's in a name....
This is my Mum, always known as Ruby though it was in fact her middle name. The name Ruby simply means the gemstone ruby, and also pictured is her mother's engagement ring which is set with three rubies. My middle name is also Ruby... I hated the name when I was a child, it felt very old fashioned, but now it’s cool again and I love it. And it’s nice to have that connection with my Mum.
This is especially poignant as today is the second anniversary of her funeral. Her birth month is August too, she was was nearly 92 when she died, an amazing achievement when you know that she was such a tiny baby she wasn’t expected to survive.

Ruby-crowned kinglet at the water feature.
Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, Sept 4, 2021.
Lots of activity the last few days, warblers, jays, goldfinches, doves and woodpeckers s well as both species of nuthatch.
Corthylio calendula
The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is a tiny bird that lays a very large clutch of eggs—there can be up to 12 in a single nest. Although the eggs themselves weigh only about a fiftieth of an ounce, an entire clutch can weigh as much as the female herself.

The female Ruby-throated Hummingbird taking a rest at the Heather Garden of Fort Tryon Park in New York City.
The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is a small hummingbird with a slender, slightly down curved bill and fairly short wings that don't reach all the way to the tail when the bird is sitting.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are bright emerald or golden-green on the back and brown, with gray-white underparts. Males have a brilliant iridescent red throat that looks dark when it's not in good light.

Early morning sitting on the deck with my coffee and Bandit, I took this shot of him sitting on a decorative tomato cage I put near the feeder. They love to sit on them.
A difficult bird to get a clear shot of and I wanted to get the ruby crown.This is all he would give me for now.
Here’s the back side of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. It’s a female checking out some blooms of what I’d done my best to identify, Fire Spike Red (Odontonema strictum) If I have the plant wrong, please let me know. I’m looking forward to spending some more time shooting them and hopefully getting a male with its ruby throat on fire. (Archilochus colubris) (Sony a1, 400mm f/2.8 @ 2.8, 1/5000 second, ISO 4000)
