Ruby Throated Hummingbird and a honey bee feeding on salvia and performing their pollinator duties - Green Spring Gardens
A Ruby-throated hummingbird (male) hovers in mid-air while feeding on the nectar from a vibrant blue flower. Lush green foliage surrounds the scene, creating a natural backdrop for this moment of nature!!
Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) late in the day in the rain. Had to crank the ISO up to 8000. Probably pushing it a bit too much :-)

It's my parents Ruby Wedding Anniversary next weekend. Here is the card I have made for them. They're still going strong after 40 years, something worth aspiring to I think ;-)
I know the idea is not new but I really like the effect and hope they will too.

Wikipedia: The ruby-crowned kinglet (Corthylio calendula) is a very small passerine bird found throughout North America. Their breeding habitat is coniferous forests across Canada, Alaska, northern New England and the western United States.
These birds migrate to the southern United States and Mexico. Some birds are permanent residents in the west.
Conservation status: Least Concern
I have had a cute little Ruby Crowned Kinglet visiting one of my suet feeders all winter. I have taken many photos of him hoping he would flash his crown of red feathers but have only managed one shot where he did so. I haven't seen him this week and wonder if he has started migrating back to wherever he came from. Hopefully he will be back next year and will be a little less shy in showing his red crown.

For my second edition of Ruby Tuesday, how about a Ruby-Crowned Kinglet? Unfortunately this fast moving little sprite didn't show me its crown.
Sunset from Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park.
Of all the coastal beaches we visited, Ruby was my favorite. A very short walk takes you to a flat beach with majestic sea stacks and lots of composition options. but this also means it's not a beach for solitude.

This ruby-throated hummingbird was acting like a "feeder guard" protecting the feeders from any usurpers to his territory.
Este colibrí garganta rubí hacía guardia y protegía "sus" comedores contra cualquier usurpador que hubiera.
