Regency period ruby red wine glass. (Circa 1820-?)
Not the more common paler cranberry. The red colour is produced by the addition of cadmium sulphiide and selenium to the molten glass. It is occasionally called "selenium ruby"

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.
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.
Photos from today when I visited with a friend in Millarville. I stopped in there after exploring in Brown-Lowery Park.
Thanks everyone for your views, faves and comments!

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

We saw many Ruby Topaz hummingbirds during our Trinidad trip but I never got tired of photographing them. The colors are so beautiful that I am excited to go back and spend more time with them even after having taken hundreds of photos.

This juvenile male Ruby throated hummingbird is starting to get some of his red throat feathers. The birds are becoming used to me sitting quite close to the feeder and are a treat to watch. We have about four that have been chasing each other away, as they aren’t great at sharing. They have tried to chase the goldfinches off, but have not been successful.

The Ruby Mountains, often called the "Swiss Alps of Nevada," are a breathtaking mountain range in northeastern Nevada, known for their rugged peaks, alpine lakes, and diverse wildlife.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) are small hummingbirds that breed in southern Canada (central Alberta east to Nova Scotia) south to central and eastern USA (North Dakota east to Maine, and south to southern Texas. Vagrants travel as far west as California. This species occupies the largest breeding range of any North American hummingbird.) are small hummingbirds that breed in southern Canada (central Alberta east to Nova Scotia) south to central and eastern USA (North Dakota east to Maine, and south to southern Texas.

These diminutive birds never stop moving and so it's tough to get a really clear shot of them. For the split second they do perch on something, the camera is still moving to catch up to them. Still, I wasn't disappointed to get this shot, clearly showing off the ruby in his crown!
Mercer Meadows, Lawrenceville, NJ - I have a few other photos of the ruby stripe will put in comments.
This Ruby-crowned Kinglet was foraging in the weeds recently at Anahuac NWR along with a flock of other small birds. I couldn’t resist taking a few shots of them before they disappeared.

Always a challenge to photo. One of the most hyper-active little birds. Winter residents in Oklahoma. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
This appears to be a juvenile male. If you look close you can see what appears to be a red feather or two on his throat and his beak seems a little short. Taken in my backyard. My hope is too get a grown male with his throat glowing in the sun before all my flowers die from the summer heat.

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!
This one was sitting on our fence. Ruby tigers like warm and dry summers. This year they should be happy.
