Ruby Peak and the Wallowa Valley from Enterprise, OR. The mountains just got a fresh dusting of snow and the Cottonwood trees in the valley and Tamarack trees higher up are turning golden yellow.
An unusual angle, but I like the feather patterns.
These little birds are so quick and never stopping for long.

I've never seen this before; a female Ruby-tailed wasp trying to chew through the mud seal in one of the completed nest holes in my garden bee-hotel. She spent a good time there, but didn't manage to break through into the brood chambers.
I'd been chasing this wasp (or a very similar one) all over the bee-hotel for quite a while. Anyone who's tried to photograph these will know just how active, and difficult to photograph they are. This one was so intent on her labours that she just ignored me and I got several dozen photographs.
Sadly, I didn't seen what had produced the host nest. There are Trypoxylon spider-hunting wasps nesting in the bee-hotel though and their nests are known to be parasitised by chrysidid wasps.
Ruby is the Wright-Locke Farm director's rescue dog. She is fortunate to be able to hang around such a lovely place. I found here waiting by the squash house at sunset today, and had to click away.

Trying some off-camera flash to see if I can reduce shutter speed and ISO. I haven't got the flash settings down just yet but I was pleased with the flash freezing the subject. With my settings, the image would have been almost black otherwise.
Took a few shots of some ruby crowned kinglets at 72nd street. Kind of hard to get the whole bird in focus though at 840mm :-)
Ruby Beach is one of those beaches I seem to return to with every trip to the Olympic Peninsula. Some visits I'll wade across the stream and head north, other visits I'll walk the sands to the south. Or maybe I'll just sit on the strewn piles of driftwood that have been ever present here as long as I have been visiting this beach. This visit came on our last full day of my most recent Olympic trip and was almost an afterthought (forgive me Ruby). The main goal of the trip had been the Hoh, with side outings to explore some new spots. But if you have ever been to Ruby Beach, then you understand how hard a beach it is to resist. It was a lovely visit, with mostly cloudy skies, but on the return trek up to the parking lot some nice light peeked out for a couple of minutes and this bend in the trail was as good a spot to enjoy it as any.

One of the beaches we visited on the Pacific side of Olympic National Park is Ruby Beach. This was a beautiful beach with a ton of driftwood, cool rock formations, beautiful greenery, crashing waves and way too many people for my taste. I managed to get some photos without any people in them somehow. I spent a lot of time experimenting with different types of shots and subjects near and far at this location. I am going to post a few photos of this location and then a few more tomorrow. When we first arrived it was pretty overcast but the sun did come out for some of the time which really helped liven up the landscapes.
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - Boothbay Harbor, Maine
I saw these guys flying around the yard last week,
so I figured it was time to set up a feeder.
Build it and they will come!
It was pretty dim when I took these wide open ISO 1600 pics, and he was likely at the feeder because it was slim pickin's with the cool wet weather we've had the last couple of days.

I may have mis-identified this bird, but the slashes on the wing and a slight touch of ruby on its crown point to the Kinglet. It should be more olivey-coloured in the body, but that could be the deep shade in which I took the photo.
Ruby Beach is the northernmost of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. It is located on Highway 101, in Jefferson County, 27 miles (43 km) south of the town of Forks.
This is a bird I've been trying to photograph for a long time. They are so tiny and never still - I've seen them often enough but this is my first acceptable image. There were two of them flitting about this tree non-stop, feeding on tiny insects of some kind. It was raining, the light was flat and low, and the branches made for a focusing nightmare. I stood and tried for the entire ten minutes or so that they were there and this is the only usable frame I got.
His ruby crown is usually not visible and only seen when he gets excited enough to flare his head feathers. I got one blurry image where you can just make out a hint of red on his head.
I managed to capture a decent look at this little guy’s name-sake ruby crown.
A tiny bird seemingly overflowing with energy, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet forages almost frantically through lower branches of shrubs and trees. Its habit of constantly flicking its wings is a key identification clue. Smaller than a warbler or chickadee, this plain green-gray bird has a white eyering and a white bar on the wing. Alas, the male’s brilliant ruby crown patch usually stays hidden—your best chance to see it is to find an excited male singing in spring or summer.
One of the scenic highlights of the Rio Grande Zephyr’s journey was Ruby Canyon on the Colorado/Utah border. One of our desires was to shoot the train there, but topo maps did not indicate an entrance that did not cross private ranchland, so we settled for some Dutch door shots.
She was a very "active" little kitten, I am surprised I could even capture this (!) What is most interesting about this photo is she has no freckles on her nose...later in life she would acquire freckles on her nose (something I never knew could happen!).
Here she is at 13 years old with all her freckles!

The Ruby Throated Hummingbird that's been frequenting my feeder. He's an elusive little fellow! It's hard to catch him because he just appears out of nowhere it seems, drinks some nectar for a few seconds then zips off for a while!
Who is ready for a treasure hunt? I always feel like I'm treasure hunting when looking into tidepools like this one at Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park.
