I couldn't resist posting another photo of this little bird. It was such a challenge to get the shot!

I'm delighted that Dorset Wildlife Trust are using my portrait of Ruby the Robin to lead their 2017 membership campaign: www.dorsetwildlifetrust.org.uk/

“Ruby Beach” Olympic National Park, Washington, known for its abundance of large driftwood and huge island like sea stacks.
The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is by far the most common species that breeds in the eastern half of North America, although most states have sporadic Rufous sightings, and Bob and Martha Sargent have banded eight other hummingbird species as winter visitors to five southeastern states. Ruby-throats are intensely inquisitive and thus easily attracted to feeders, where males in particular typically display aggressive territoriality toward rival hummers, other birds, and even insects such as bees, butterflies, and sphinx moths. They quickly become accustomed to human presence, and will swoop down to investigate red articles of clothing, possibly as potential food sources. Feeders hung at windows attract as many visitors as ones farther from structures, and the bird that claims a feeder as its territory may spend much of the day perched nearby, guarding the food source against intruders. Many hummingbird watchers find "Hummer Warz" endlessly entertaining, although the chases are obviously serious business to the hungry birds. For a short period immediately after fledging, a female will tolerate the presence of her own young at the feeder, but they are soon treated the same as other adult birds - as rivals in pursuit of the food necessary to prepare for the fall migration.
Not the best shot or edit but the best I could do. Tried desperately to erase that naked branch, to no avail. This beauty has been coming to the over 25 Florida native Coral Bean blossoms in the front yard, which are behind a Dwarf Powder Puff potted plant of almost the same color, and under the spring blossoms of the Weeping Bottlebrush tree of almost the same color. A veritable Hummingbird haven! Hope I have a couple more shots that are better or better to edit.

The ruby-throated hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America. Wikipedia
Ruby-crowned Kinglet - January 10, 2026 - Morgan County, Alabama - Newbie for me. I cannot recall having seen a Kinglet and recognized it. Per Merlin Bird ID, this is the Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
Ruby hat seidenes Fell ist und ist voll gechillt. Sie liebt die Superman Pose mit einem Arm noch vorne ausgestreckt. Sie gehört meiner Schwester.

A well located, popular bench at Olympic National Park's Ruby Beach.
Was a drizzly grey day, so went with a monotone presentation.

Thanks for taking a look!
After spending an unusually COLD early August night at Ruby Lake, I was happy to be greeted with this sunrise. I was not aware there would be a full moon; however I felt this added a little drama to the scene. Right after I clicked the shutter, a breeze came up causing ripples to distort the reflection. Phew...I just made it without a second to spare.

A fairly cooperative kinglet. He never held still longer than about three seconds, but at least he stayed in the area. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Ah Ruby Beach- one of my favorite places on the WA coast. When the tide is out you can walk for miles either direction. Huge sea stacks dominate the beach. (Olympic National Park- WA)
From the spring - I followed this bird for almost an hour, hoping to get a glimpse while on the trails. Finally he poked his head out, and gave me a ruby flare in the bargain.
There's no place like New York,

Hope Everyone Had a Great Halloween!
A Ruby-tailed Wasp getting everso slightly distracted by a trail of honey. There have been plenty of these little beauties about this year, well I guess I have been actively looking for them. They really are my favourite UK Wasp at the moment, but then there are some even more colourful Chrysis species out there, I hope someday to find some more.
I hope everyone has a great week, it certainly was a hot one today, was not the best day to be stuck at work.

Although the theme is the 1940s diner, Ruby's was established in 1980 and now has lots of restaurants, including in different states.
In Southern California beach culture of course, they're known for their restaurants at the ends of a lot of local piers.
I recently travelled to Olympic National Park to attend a photo workshop with Kurt Budliger. Not only was this area spectacular, but I also learned a ton and walked away with some pretty cool shots. Kurt is a composition beast. I have a long way to go, but having the opportunity to watch someone like that create was really REALLY helpful.
This was a night were there were some pretty wild clouds a little earlier in the sunset, but sadly, I did not have a composition that worked (I panicked lol)… As a result, I ended up processing a shot that had a feel I really liked, but lacked the light/cloud combination that had already passed. Since the light was a bit flat I processed this shot as a black and white. I’ve never actually done that as a result of undesirable light before, but I have to say I was really thrilled to turn something a little bland into something like this.
This is a blend of 3 images. One for the sky, and 2 for the water movement blended together to form the nicest leading lines.
Ruby lives for her dancing, it's her favourite thing in life. She practices constantly and dreams of being a ballet dancer in Swan Lake some day.
It took her years to save up for this beautiful dress, but when she puts it on she feels like a real swan <3
