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.

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
I haven't touched my camera in weeks. This is from a few weeks back, before everything turned green. I really should find the time to do another hummingbird photoshoot, so I can get some nice green backgrounds.

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.
Unusual to see an adult male ruby-throat in Winnipeg this late in August, They are usually long gone and back in Costa Rica foot-loose and fancy-free flirting with the female ruby throats.

RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD-07238020
Visiting Cypress Mountain I saw both Golden-crowned Kinglets and Ruby Kinglets. I was not able to get good photos of the Golden-crowned Kinglets but this Ruby-Crowned Kinglet was quite cooperative.
I went through a lot of work to get this shot. The trail I walked was longer and hillier than I thought it would be. I got my days workout on this one. Not a lot to see but I was a happy to see this little Ruby-crowned Kinglet.
* I wonder if this might be a Hutton's Vireo?
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.
