Our annual side trip to Ruby Beach off the 101 in Washington. Last year it was raining, this year almost blue skies!!
The sun was out a bit today and this brought out some ruby-tailed wasps too. Some have been checking-out my bee-hotels, this one was warming-up on the path. Always a pleasure to see!

She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don't matter because it's gone
While the sun is bright
Or in the darkest night
No one knows, she comes and then she goes
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Don't ask her why she needs to be so free
She's gonna tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost, but such a cost
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
"There's no time to lose", I heard her say
You gotta catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams and you may lose your mind
Is life unkind?
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who is gonna hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
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.

Backyard bird watching
This is my smallest Winter visitor and is very secretive. This female does not have a red notch as the male has.
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
Had a pair of kinglets pass through down at the greenbriar patch this morning. They didn't stay long. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

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.

Ruby Mag
From the moment I saw these birds in the trees around the cottage we visit, a few years ago, I have been trying to figure out how to get decent photographs. This summer I settled on identifying perches used periodically, and then getting in range of one of the perches. This meant two things: being on the roof, and being subject to shifting light and backgrounds. On the other hand, some of their grooming poses were amazing. It was a lot of fun hanging out with them.
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.
This ruby-throated hummingbird was acting like a "feeder guard" protecting the feeders from any usurpers to his territory.
Este colibrà garganta rubà hacÃa guardia y protegÃa "sus" comedores contra cualquier usurpador que hubiera.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds feed on the nectar of red or orange tubular flowers such as trumpet creeper, cardinal flower, honeysuckle, jewelweed, bee-balm, red buckeye and red morning glory, as well as at hummingbird feeders and, sometimes, tree sap. Hummingbirds also catch insects in midair or pull them out of spider webs.
A ruby-crowned kinglet is perched on a thorny branch, its feathers fluffed up against a softly focused background. The sunlight creates a gentle glow, highlighting the bird's delicate features!!!
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.

"Ruby Blues"
This was my first official attempt in seascape photography, and I was extremely excited, especially, after seeing many gorgeous seascape photography works from other photographers that showed up in my Facebook news feed every now and then.
With the eagerness to bring home some good shots, I did a lot of homework before the trip, such as the learning about the weather, tide condition and shooting locations. After hours of research, I finally decided to go on this trip during the Valentines weekend, and it the turns out that the sunsets during the two days was very rewarding.
This shot was taken at Ruby Beach soon after sunset which gives the scene a very dynamic range of colors; the orange glow left from the sunset and the soft reflection of twilight blue. As I was walking along the beach to find an interesting composition that would allow me to capture the liveliness of the beach, I found this rock that perfectly conveyed the action of the scene - a rock going against the current from the rising tide. The tidal waves was strong, and it kept pushing and pulling my tripod as they come and go, but each wave formed a curvy line around the rock that had my attention as soon as I saw it.
Hope you like the shot and sharing is appreciated as always
