A criss-cross pattern of ripples is formed as waves wash away when they reach further up onto the beach, beautifully highlighted here by the setting sun on the horizon. Taken at Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park in Washington State.
It was a pleasure to see this one return heading into the winter season. Photographed in the backyard setup in East Memphis.

“Ruby Beach” Olympic National Park, Washington, known for its abundance of large driftwood and huge island like sea stacks.
“Abbey Island” Named by James Lawson
The large Sea Stack in the center background is Abbey Island.
When Lawson was charting the rugged Olympic Peninsula coastline, the silhouette of the massive sea stack caught his eye. The monolithic rock formation, combined with the dense cluster of tall conifers clinging strictly to its steep, sheer cliffs, strongly reminded him of the gothic, towering architecture and ruins of an ancient European abbey or cathedral. Early pioneers and homesteaders settling in the area had the exact same thought, and the name "Abbey Island" stuck permanently.

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.
One of my favorites from a wicked successful trip of many favorites- more here: nateparkerphotography.com/blog/2012/11/a-week-in-the-paci.... This is one of many stacks at Ruby Beach on the coast of Washington where within a couple hours there are an abundance of incredible and sometimes totally out of this world feeling scenes to photograph. Like being a kid in a model train store- I was clicking my heels with the glee!

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, bladelike wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects.
During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/sec, 61x/sec when moving backwards, and at least 75x/sec when moving forward.

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.
Continuing on with some monochrome images, this is Ruby and she was out for a walk and the adventures that came with it. Being completely absorbed in all around her I was able to get basically a candid shot. She was obviously aware of me but giving me no attention.
Image was taken at a war memorial on main street here in Lamont. I thought a Remembrance Day Service would have been held there. There was a wreath laid at the base on the other side, but the Memorial Service was actually taking place indoors on the other side of town. Although I never got to record the service, little Ruby more than made up for it.
I love her mustache. Her human companion Randy said that if she was instead born a he, that the name may have been Adolf. I thought that was pretty funny. Anyways, I hope I bump into Rudy (and Randy) again in the future.

Intimate landscape, Ruby Falls. Washington USA
This was a surprise in amongst a flock of Golden-crowned Kinglets was this Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Too bad it did not sport a little bit of it's ruby color.
Happy Birthday, Ruby!!!

Todas as águas (Lya Luft)
Quando pensei que tinha chegado
era outra surpresa,
era mais uma curva no rio.
Quando calculei que tudo estava pago
havia ainda os juros do tempo do esforço do amor.
Quando achei que estava acabado
os caminhos se espalmaram como dedos da mão de um deus,
na torrente no vento no sopro do universo.
