Ruby Falls is the deepest publicly accessible underground waterfalls in the United States. This 145 foot waterfall is 1160 feet underground. Miners digging an access route to the now less popular Lookout Mountain caves accidentally stumbled upon this magnificent underground waterfall when they chanced upon a small opening into the falls and followed it.
A ruby-throated hummingbird hovers mid-air, delicately poised above vibrant pink flowers, with blurred greenery and a warm backdrop highlighting its graceful movements. Its iridescent green feathers shimmer in the light, capturing a moment of natural beauty!!!
Wish there were more photos of ruby on the blog.
But, there are photos of the kittehs on the blog
I think photos of your pets are like photos of your children.
The ruby whiteface (Leucorrhinia rubicunda, Nordische Moosjungfer) is an endangered dragonfly in Germany according to the Red List. All the more I'm always excited to still find plenty of them at the wonderful Bauernmoor in Tiste.

This was my ship for 10 days. A great ship!

The less-visited end, that is.
Nice and quiet down here, just make sure you get back around that headland before the tide comes back in.
(last look at the beach, we moved to the mountains the next day)

Summer 2015: "Up was Down"
July 4th: Forks does the fourth, Ruby Beach.
Although the coast north of here had entirely cleared by this time of evening, after my drive from Forks I was met with nearly total fog at Ruby Beach. The sun was just breaking through enough to make something I found visually appealling...not to mention allowing me to leave the filters in the bag for quite a while. Hope you like this moody little number.
Cheers!

A ruby throated hummingbird has returned to our backyard this spring. Hopefully more will come soon.

I met Ruby last week at a coffee shop when she started chatting to me about my dogs.
I took the opportunity to ask her to meet up for a shoot on the next Sunday. This is the first shot we took.

I was walking through Koreatown in Toronto on a snowy day when I caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of my eye. She was standing on the steps of a business and she looked like a porcelain doll. In a somewhat busy location, she was standing next to a wall of plain white metal siding and I could imagine a good portrait. I turned back and introduced myself and my project. She began to fluster about her hair not being right which I countered with my opinion that it looked just fine. I showed her my contact card and suggested we try a couple of photos and if she was not happy with them, I would not use them for my project. She agreed to that. Meet Ruby.
To my surprise, she proceeded to shrug off her coat and put it down on the steps behind her, along with her cell phone and my contact card. I wanted to emphasize her eyes and I also needed to be close to maintain the simplicity of the background. (Stepping back would have introduced too many distractions.) We had to step aside a couple of times during the brief shooting as customers needed to use the stairs Ruby was standing on (I was on the sidewalk).
As I asked a couple of questions for this story, Ruby waved her hand and said she wasn’t good with the comments which I accepted. She was friendly, but pressed for time, citing that she is a hair stylist and was due to start work in the salon behind her. Suddenly her immaculate presentation all made perfect sense. I did learn that Ruby is from Korea and has been in Canada just a year. I commented that she must have had good English before she came because communicating with her was not difficult. She smiled and said she came without any English. Impressive.
What does she like most about being a hairstylist? It’s being able to use her creativity to help someone achieve an attractive look. I offered to send the photo and she typed her email address into my phone before excusing herself and grabbing her coat, saying she had to get inside and start work. She suggested I might mention the salon in my project and I said I would be glad to. It is Goa Hair Studio (www.h2goa.com/). As an afterthought, I snapped a quick photo of the storefront with my cell phone to give a sense of the location on Bloor Street West in Toronto.
Thank you Ruby. You are my 812th submission to The Human Family Group on Flickr.
