ODC-Ruby Or Burgundy Red

Red is my absolute most favourite colour! Actually Puce is, and that's a combination of Red and Brown together. The diamond and ruby earrings on the left were given to me after my mother in law passed. I simply love them! Middle is my Red Faberge Egg and on the right are the little diamond and ruby earrings I bought myself (many years ago) from Herlzberg Diamonds Store in Albuquerque. I'm going to pass these on to my daughter, she was born in July and the Ruby is her birthstone.

Ruby wants to let you know that we've just learned this waving trick so now she can personally say hello to you all!

Golden hour at Ruby Beach, Olympic National Park.

Of the three main beaches at Olympic - Ruby, Second and Rialto - this is my favourite, as you can photo the big sea stack from either side depending on the light.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird - Green Spring Gardens Park

Ruby-crowned Kinglet @ Kathryn Albertson Park, Boise, Idaho

This is another in the series of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds from Strawberry Plains, when Allen (asparks306) and I 'worked' the garden area of the Davis house. I preferred the backward formation of the wings, along with part of its body pushed forward. The plant in the image is Coral Bean, a favorite of these birds. Everyone have a nice weekend!

Ruby is a stall holder in Kent Street at the Barras, where she sells her handmade jewellery and other ornamental items

It was enjoyable watching these hummers hit on the Lantana in the yards in Memphis, Tennessee.

Ruby Beach is off highway 101 on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. The beach, like many along the west coast, is noted for it's sea stacks -- geological landforms created by erosion. More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stack_(geology)

Well the time has come for Rubin to explore the world without his foster mum. We took them both back to the stud today where Rubin will have his DNA taken, branded, have a hernia operation and eventually weaned off Ruby.

Ruby saved the day when she accepted 3 day old orphaned Rubin as her baby after she herself had lost a little baby only days earlier.

They will be put into a paddock with several other mares and foals, then the stud staff seperate mares from foals, and the foals then have to cope on their own. At least he will have some playmates. Stay safe Ruby and Rubin. And thanks Ruby for looking after our little rebel.

Para minha amiga linda que tem nome de pedra preciosa.

Mercer Meadows, Lawrenceville, NJ - I have a few other photos of the ruby stripe will put in comments.

Ruby Beach - North American Rainforest, Olympic National Park, Washington, USA

SOOC challenge for 52 in 2015. Only adjustment was to calibrate with camera/lens (a feature of Lightroom, so it's as much as I took it as possible), and a crop.

I have seen this turtle on more than one occasion now & have come to realize that the white spots on her back are not bird droppings. They are always there and the same so must be scars from some damage/injury at some point. But it makes her easily identifiable so I figured it was time to give her a name. So, meet Ruby Redear.

I love my camera.

Camera in one hand, ball in the other.

I love my fur sister, too.

She doesn't fit in my hand. Or take pictures...

..but 'cute' seems to go a long way in this world, eh?

Always a challenge to photo. One of the most hyper-active little birds. Winter residents in Oklahoma. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Ruby Throated Hummingbird (m)

I drove down to Ruby Beach with @tomhill_photography recently. You’d think that drowning his phone in sea water would slow him down a bit, but no such luck… that f*ckface still managed to get a beautifully processed shot up a day ahead of me. What a dick ;-)… Anyhow, we were standing shoulder to should for this shot and it’s awesome to see how different a few inches makes to a composition.

One thing is certain, we both LOVED Ruby Beach. The light, the mist, the waves… all of it. This was actually a single exposure (rare for me, I know!) but I attribute that to the new Canon 5D MkIV that I picked up a while ago - There is definitely better dynamic range and cleaner iso on this camera. Loving it so far.

I was using my polarizer and a 3 stop ND filter to get my shutter open long enough to get this water motion captured. I was pretty excited when this popped up on the view finder. I might have squealed…

I spotted several Ruby-crowned Kinglets and I suspect they were chasing a perspective mate.
