Famous for the reddish sand that occasionally gathers and large, rock islands known as sea stacks, Ruby Beach is one of the most well-known and highly anticipated beaches to visit along the Olympic coastline. 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 south of the town of Forks.

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.

Today I met Ruby, the seven-year-old Australian Shepherd, and her mom, Rhonda. Ruby has the softest fur and just wanted me to love her, not photograph her.

 

Rhonda shared the story of how Ruby came into her life. She had a different dog, who had passed away and she was still heartbroken when she saw Ruby as a puppy. Ruby's eyes weren't even open yet but Rhonda knew that this was the dog for her. She discovered that Ruby was born on the exact date and time that her other dog had died. It was as if her dear departed dog had picked out Ruby for her. I am so glad they found each other because they belong together.

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

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!

Most of the kinglet photos I post have the brilliant crest showing, but most of the frames I shoot don't. More often than not the crest will not be visible. There is just a hint of the ruby red on this bird's head. The crest is only visible when the bird is excited. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

A lot of these smallish birds are so similar to each other, way beyond my ID-ing skills.

Ruby is 16 years old, she belongs to a friend. I think she is a Cairn Terrier.

Got really excited when I saw this today. Only ever seen one before, at Lackford Lakes, Suffolk they are 1cm long. This one was just down the road from where i live so now i shall be forever looking out for them.

Ruby-Tailed Wasps are found in most parts of Britain. Ruby-Tailed Wasps are metallic-coloured insects. Their beautiful shiny red, blue, green and bronze colours glitter in the sunshine and their appearance is stunning when seen in close-up. Chrysis ignita is the commonest of several very similar species of Ruby-Tailed Wasps

Ruby is my Bisou Ai UU and Cindy is my Bisou Ai ShuShu from Custom House. Ruby is a small girl full of energy and Cindy is a little bit shy! Ruby loves to play around with her Sis Cindy. They're best friends!! Ruby and Cindy are wearing La Boutique de Lupi,Simply Kir hat and ixtee boots.

Finally showing me a little RUBY!!!!! :-)

Ruby-crowned kinglet, Rondeau Provincial Park, Oct 21, 2018.

Lot of people looking for the great kiskadee in the park today. Many were successful in finding it, but there were lots of other birds around.

 

This ruby-crowned kinglet was flitting through a grape vine looking for something to eat.

 

Of course he wasn't showing much of the ruby crown.

 

Regulus 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.

Warblers and Kinglets were all over the place at the John Heinz NWR in Philadelphia today. I managed to get within 5 feet of this bird by simply standing very still next to an entanglement and small tree they were feeding in. These birds are about 3 inches long and rarely sit still even for a moment. Compounding matters was the fact that the light was poor at this location and ISO 3200 had to be used. I was fortunate to get this shot given the circumstances (and relatively low shutter speed). Note the small "ruby crown" atop the birds head. This will flare up like a red mohawk when the bird gets very excited, typically during mating season.

 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

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.

I captured this Ruby-crowned Kinglet in St. Clair County, Illinois.

These tiny birds are just coming back to the Davis Mountains in west Texas.

Thanks so much for the faves and nice comments!

Ruby Beach

Washington Coast

Home

Autumn

Moody sunset and I am taking the liberty of making it even moodier with a little color edit. In my minds eye this is exactly how it feels to look. Or looks the feel. Or simply as I see it. I love this beach and when I am home long enough try and go. It has been years now and the memory has faded to colorful recollection and the salty taste of lingering sea memories.

This is Ruby Beach, along the Washington coastline. This was our anniversary trip, although a little early this year. I've been wanting to go here for a couple years now. Finally got the chance! I would have loved to have stayed 'til sunset, but that would've meant another three hours! What an enjoyable trip though! We actually travelled all the way up to the northern edge of Washington! We went a full circle, encircling the whole Olympic National Park! Very pretty!

I spent a considerable amount f time yesterday trying to capture this Ruby-crowned Kinglet as it flit amoung the trees and bushes with either a branch across it's face or deep in the shadows...finally, it came out in the open, oh so briefly, to capture a shot including it's brightly colored 'ruby-crown'!

A tiny bird that overflows with energy, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Regulus calendula) seems to forage almost frantically through lower branches of shrubs and trees. Its habit of constantly flicking its wings is a key identification clue. Outside of hummingbirds, Kinglets are the smallest of Northern American birds. This plain green-gray bird has a white eyering and a white bar on the wing. 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. The Ruby-crowned Kinglet 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. Metabolic studies on Ruby-crowned Kinglets suggest that these tiny birds use only about 10 calories per day. This male was photographed in my backyard in Garland, Texas.

This tiny bird was flashing his crown, positioning himself directly in front of other kinglets. Sunlight made that patch of red feathers glow like a hot coal. It was breathtaking and made me laugh at the same time. Ruby crowned Kinglet South Coast Botanic Garden 3754
