A ruby-throated hummingbird perched.

No dia das mães acordei tarde e eu ainda tinha q fazer meus assado, tomar banho, secar o cabelinho novo!, pintar as unhas e correr pra mamis!!!

ENtão pintei super rapidinho!!!! dá pra ver q o anelar e o mindinho estão manchadinhos :( mas td bem, pq o Ruby é lindo! e nem dá pra ver direito...não ao vivo!

Mas posso falar? e acho q ainda vou ouvir...não gostei do pincel! prontofalei!!! não sei se foi pq pintei mto rapido, achei o esmalte meio grosso, e ele é achatadinho mas super retão!!! não sei como são os da OPI, mas a experiencia q tenho com pinceis achatadinhos é só os da Sally Hansen, aquele rosa lindo da minha galeria, até tirei foto mas minhas fotos passam de 200 e vão ficando 'invisiveis' na galeria, conforme vou acrescentando vai sumindo!!!

E aí q o pincel do InstaDri da SH é achatinho, as pontas são arredondadas e um pouco mais fico, mais macio...não sei se consegui explicar, mas o da Hits é tão grandão, grosseiro, q é quase inpossivel pintar as unhas sem sujar td em volta...entederão?! ;)

Bom de qq forma a cor é linda! passei uma unica camada! e como sempre usei o roxinho da Ideal!

I was probably 4-5 ft away from this guy when he landed, they're very comfortable with people being near them from what I've experienced. This image is just barely cropped to get rid of the flowers on the sides. Thanks for all the favorites, comments and follows!

Ruby crowned kinglet

This was a spring of plenty when it came to Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Most sites I visited there were several around and calling to let you know they were there.

Catching the Northern Michigan afternoon sun on the last day of August, looks to be snoozing, but just caught a quick blink.

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.

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.

Ruby Falls is a 145 foot (44 m) high underground waterfall located within Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga, Tennessee

A very small, hyper songbird. The sexes and juveniles are identical, except the males have the ruby crest, which is invisible most of the time. They show it only when excited. Winter residents in Oklahoma. These tiny birds raise large broods across Canada and Alaska. Conservation status is Least Concern. Our beautiful world, pass it on..

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.

Ruby the silent deadly assassin, who tolerates us only because we provide a warm place to sleep.

Ruby-crowned kinglets (Regulus calendula) are native to northern, western, and some eastern parts of North America. Their breeding range includes most of Alaska, the majority of Canada, a small portion of the Rocky Mountains, and the northern parts of the Great Lakes.

Whidbey Island, Washington

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!

Go Ruby!

One of my fave Winter birds. Teeny and frenetic, difficult to photo. But rewarding when you catch that brilliant crest visible. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

There was well over a dozen Ruby-crowned Kinglets singing their heads off and likely twice that amount in Fishtrap Creek Park.
