I visited Ruby Beach several times before, but a few weeks ago I was finally rewarded by this kind of beautiful sky, for the first time.

In our story Ruby is a sister of Morion and Opal, but she was born without any magic. As she could not stand living with her more talented sisters (especially with elder Morion), she left their house in dark, deep wood and started new life in the capitol. There - looking for a good job - she found an Assasins Guild. At the moment she is a boss one of a Guild assasins group and meets her sisters only if Guild does need a special powers.
We added a few details in Ruby's company face-up to make it more evening like. Now she is standing here in her new edwardian dress, and looks just awasome... But the pictures will have to wait till Sunday, when we will have a time to do it and when we will have the last dress of a new collection ready :3

The bright scarlet color of Bee Balm (Monarda) in my garden is definitely a favored bloom for the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. This juvenile male will eventually have throat feathers that will match the ruby-red of the flower he loves. Tomahawk, WI 7/20/2020
After the heavy rains yesterday, there might have been a fallout of migrating Ruby-crowned Kinglets at Fishtrap Creek Park this morning. I came across at least a dozen this morning, they have definitely been present in other areas recently but not in these numbers. They seemed to be singing up a storm every time I stopped to listen.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet (Corthylio calendula) / Birds of the Tidal Meadow
Secret-sized and quick as a wink, he flits through fir and maple, ember of life smoldering in green and gold. Olive backed, washed with softest dawn; pale ring about the eye like moon shadow. Within his crown a ruby hidden, flaring only when the heart insists - when desire, or fury, lifts him. Watch him at meadow's edge, where wind-tossed willow meets spruce; a frantic, bright-souled atom, gleaning the ether for tiny economies: aphid, moth, web-spun bite of spider. The kinglet hovers, hangs, and darts, wings a whisper, then vanishes, leaving the world a little more noticed. Listen: his song is a bright micro machinery, strings of notes like beads from some interior rosary, sooner felt than pondered, insistently curious. O tiny citizen of the branch! you teach us how to be vigilant and sing, despite our size - you teach us how to keep a burning crown unseen, until needed.
(Regulus calendula) -- Ruby-crowned Kinglet
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 believe this to be a Moser demitasse cup with some hand enameling. The little seeds spilling out are petite rubies...
Shot with Nikon D810. This is a shot of Ruby Falls in Washington State, USA. A cascading waterfall flows over rugged rocks, surrounded by lush, green forest. Soft, misty water contrasts with the vibrant moss and foliage clinging to the rocky cliffs.
In God's garden out back the past three mornings. Cannot hold still enough the camera I need, so this morning I surrendered and used and older lighter one. Not fast enough, but blessed beyond words to get even THIS shot! Thank You, Jesus.

Archilochus colubris
Colibrà garganta de rubÃ
La Argentina, Grecia
Historia Natural
Alimentación
Visitan flores de una gran variedad de hierbas, arbustos, bejucos y árboles, sobre todo aquellos que producen gran cantidad de flores pequeñas y frecuentemente polinizadas por insectos, o flores aisladas (por ejemplo, flores de siete negritos (Lantana camara), Stachytarpheta, o a veces de guabas (Inga spp.)
En raras ocasiones poseen territorios de alimentación, pero pueden cazar en los territorios de especies más grandes.
Comportamiento
Generalmente se encuentra subordinada a la mayorÃa de las especies de colibrÃes locales.
Ciclo anual
Es una especie migratoria neártica.
Habitat y Distribución
Habitat
Viven en bosques secundarios, charrales, bordes de bosques deciduos, y en ocasiones en bosques de galerÃa, plantaciones de café y zonas verdes en áreas rurales.
Distribución
Es una especie residente invernal de poco común a localmente común en las bajuras del PacÃfico norte. Es de rara a ocasional a través del Valle Central y en las bajuras del PacÃfico sur, y regular, aunque muy poco común, en la región de Los Chiles-RÃo FrÃo; en el resto del lado del Caribe solo ocurre como una divagante muy rara, sobre todo durante la migración otoñal de mediados de octubre a noviembre. En primavera emigra entre finales de marzo y mediados de abril.
Distribución fuera de Costa Rica
Se reproduce al este de Norteamérica, desde el sur de Canadá hasta Florida y Texas. Invierna desde el noroeste de México y el sur de Texas regularmente hasta Costa Rica y casualmente hasta el oeste de Panamá.

Descripción
Descripción cientÃfica
Mide 8 cm.; el macho pesa 2.7 grm. y la hembra 3 grs. Es más blanco por debajo que los otros colibrÃes pequeños en su ámbito de distribución; muestra las primarias internas angostas, las puntas entre romas (hembras) y con ángulos muy agudos (machos).
El macho adulto es verde bronceado por encima, incluso en las timoneras centrales, y la cola está profundamente ahorquillada, con las timoneras laterales negras y puntiagudas. La mancha postocular es blanca y la gorguera es rojo rubÃ. El collar es blanco a través de la parte de adelante del cuello, y el resto de la región inferior es blanco grisáceo, con manchas verdes en los lados.
En el macho las mejillas y auriculares son fuscos, y toda la región inferior es blanco grisáceo, con manchas verdes a los lados. La cola es redondeada, con las puntas de las timoneras laterales romas y la base entre verde y grisáceo,la faja subterminal negra y puntas amplias y blancas. El pico y las patas son negras.
Los individuos juveniles son semejantes a la hembra adulta, pero con los bordes anteados en las plumas de la región superior, sobre todo en la rabadilla y en la nuca, y las bases de las timoneras laterales más fuscas y las puntas más redondeadas (especialmente en las hembras). Los machos generalmente presentan algunas plumas rojas en la garganta y menos blanco en la cola.

The hummingbird wars are heating up. First we have my dominant male, and in the second flight shot, that should follow this one in my photostream, we have a juvenile male ruby-throated contender that gives the dominant male the most attitude. The others try to sneak to the feeders when these two are fighting. Since we are finally getting some rain, I had to slow the shutter speed to get decent exposure so that is the reason for the blurred wings, but the eyes are sharp. The brown background in the pics is my dormant grass from lack of water.
Las guerras de colibrÃes se están calentando. Primero tenemos a mi macho dominante, y en la segunda toma de vuelo, que deberÃa seguir a esta en mi secuencia de fotos, tenemos un contendiente macho juvenil de garganta rubà que le da al macho dominante la mayor actitud. Los otros intentan escabullirse a los comederos cuando estos dos están peleando. Como finalmente llueve, tuve que reducir la velocidad del obturador para obtener una exposición decente, por lo que ésa es la razón de las alas borrosas, pero los ojos son nÃtidos. El fondo pardo en las fotos es mi hierba inactiva por falta de agua.
They are so extraordinarily beautiful - I find them so much easier to forgive than the nomada.

Seldom do we get to see the kinglets’ crest. Spring is in the air and this little guy seemed to be a bit territorial, though we saw no other male kinglet around and they don't nest here. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

Since these birds usually hover level or lower than the flowers I had difficulty getting a more traditional composure. I couldn't bring myself to leave the flower out of the picture. Hopefully my cropping method works for this shot (golden spiral).
I walked into this small wooded meadow at Broughtons Wildlife Education Area near Marietta Ohio were a trio or more of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds were busy feeding on pale or Yellow Touch Me Nots
Oh yes, I do love string quilts! This one is made up out of the lovely Ruby line by Bonnie and Camille. Blogged here.
The male Ruby-throated Hummingbird is shiny metallic green above, greyish white below, and has a forked tail. He wears a splendid gorget, or throat patch, of silky, ruby red feathers, which sometimes appear orange, or even jet black, depending on the light. The female is similar but has a greyish-white throat patch. Her tail is rounded, and some of the outer tail feathers are marked with white spots. These she often displays when posturing and in flight. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird’s bill is long, straight, and almost as slender as a darning needle.

The Ruby-tailed Wasp is quite lazy and the females lay their eggs in the nests of other solitary bees and wasps, especially Mason Bees. When the eggs hatch, they eat the larvae of the Mason Bees. This gives the Ruby-tailed Wasp its other name of 'Cuckoo Wasp'.

This was an image I took at Ruby Beach with my uncle while he was visiting from Chicago. Took him on the whirlwind tour of Washington so he could see some of the epic spots that makes the state of WA so great. We got some great conditions and a great sunset. Thanks for checking out my image, and please do not use this without specific permission of Scott Pudwell Photography.
