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 the Turkey Vulture is an Audubon rescue bird. She was found on a farm. She may have been raised by humans because she was following the farmers around and asking to be fed. When she was brought to Audubon it was determined that she could not live in the wild. Seen at the Ridgefield Birdfest and Bluegrass Festival.
Seen for sale in a local rock shop. Rubies are the dark red crystals in the softer green matrix of fuchsite, a chromium (Cr)-rich variety of the mineral muscovite, belonging to the mica group of phyllosilicate minerals. Chromium gives the ruby its deep red color. This sphere is about 8 inches in diameter.

"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

This was my second visit to this beach this week during my workshop with Kurt Budliger. Everything seemed less “forced” tonight. The gloomy weather seemed to have scared away a lot of the photographers that were plaguing this beach a few nights earlier.
This workshop had some of the greatest people I have met in my photography travels to date. Great bunch, great humour, GREAT photographers and lots of laughs. I also learn so much of the “intangible” on these workshops. It is mind blowing to see a great instructor create art before your eyes, and show you just how close you are… (yet so far!) It really is the little adjustments that seem to make the biggest difference… And I was starting to grasp this concept better on this night.
The end result is a blend of three images. One for the sky, one for mostly everything else and the final image was consisted mostly of the centre rock next to the sun which had a wonderful glow wrapping around it.
Ruby Beach is the northernmost of the southern beaches in the coastal section of Olympic National Park in the U.S. state of Washington. It is located on Highway 101, in Jefferson County, 27 miles (43 km) south of the town of Forks.
