Ruby Farm has been a family run business since the 1850s. On Saturday morning in late summer you can buy vegetables from this location.
The Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge was purchased from Albert Hankins and established in 1938/39 by the U. S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service.The refuge covers 37,632 acres in the south end of Ruby Valley. At one time the area was covered by a 200 foot deep, 3000,800-acre lake known as Franklin Lake. Presently 12,000 acres of marshland remain on the refuge grounds. North of the refuge is a 15,000-acre seasonal wetland that is now referred to as Franklin Lake.
It's amazing what you can find in your own yard. This little immature male RT hummer has been buzzing around our yard like crazy with his siblings. I was finally able to catch him (just barely) feeding on our firecracker plant.
After yesterdays heavy rain and wind Mill Lake Park was filled with birds. Several Ruby-crowned Kinglets were rapidly checking out the bushes and trees.
We spotted this ruby-throated hummingbird perched near a prairie dock flower. Prairie dock is a native perennial with several showy yellow flowers. The plant can grow more than 6 feet tall. Even with its height, it's still able to stand upright after a couple major storms. It's fairly easy to establish for any backyard habitat enthusiast.

Do you see me? Ruby-throated hummingbirds have surprisingly good camouflage.
¿Me ves? Los colibríes garganta rubí tienen camuflaje que es sorprendemente bueno
While the sun goes down, the lights go up..
'09 was quite a productive year for me (the latter half of it anyway). There were a couple of personal faves, but there can only be one shot.. and this is it.
Why have I chosen this? I was working with new equipment and barely got into strobing, but I was so pleased with how this turned out. Actually, I was sorta running like a chicken with its head cut off because the sun had already gone over the mountain, and I still had a handful to shots to get (had to cut 4 frames and the frontis out because there was no more time!).. still, the enthusiasm that went into this shot by all of those involved make this my candidate for Flickr's "Best of 2009." tk 2 Dec 09

More photos of Ruby Throated hummingbirds in the garden enjoying the dog days of summer and stopping by the feeder often for a sip of nectar. Mostly females in this set.
There have been several sightings of these birds on the grounds at Strawberry Plains Audubon Center. Many more should arrive by the end of the month.
Ruby Rose has a little mark on her forehead. A legacy of living in a toy box, perhaps. Rebecca did a great job smoothing it out and getting rid of lots of scratches. The plastic is a little white around her mark, but its what makes this little kenner girl special to me. Funnily enough its endearing and tells her story. Its her battle scar, her war wound. I love her for it.
Two ruby-throated hummingbirds gracefully hover around a vibrant red feeder, with their delicate wings blurred from rapid movement. Set against a clean, bright background, the focus is on the birds' vibrant feathers and the feeder's striking color!!!
Shot at Ruby Beach, Washington, inside Olympic National Park. Ward's 26 camera, with a teal gel filter taped on the inside of the lens. Expired (3-99) 800 speed Kodak Gold Max, redscaled, respooled onto 127 backing paper.
Ruby perched on the top edge of a cushion. She often does this, which we find quite amusing.

The Ruby
115 Studs in length
After the defeat of the Wicked Witch of the West, the Good Witch of the North helped Dorothy Gale return home to Kansas. The Land of Oz was left, by the Wizard, in the capable hands of the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion. Although they lead the people of Oz with grace and wisdom, the lands were so large that even they could not keep everything in check. Oz began to fall to ruin...
The Winkies, once slaves to the Wicked Witch’s whims, attempted to rebuild their society, but were hampered by the prejudice they faced from other citizens of Oz. The Munchkins could not relate to them given their history with the Wicked Witch of the East; the citizens of the Emerald City looked down on them as gullible puppets; even the Gillikins of the North, under the guidance of Glinda, held on to their resentment. The Tin Man tried to teach his people compassion, but their hearts could not be changed.
The three leaders decided that Dorothy was needed in Oz once more. Through her leadership, they would work to restore Oz to not only what it once was, but what it could truly be. The Scarecrow devised a way to contact her, and she agreed to return to them. Once back in the Emerald City, she took on the title of General, and began working on a plan to unite the people of Oz. Dorothy first went to the Munchkins, who welcomed her back as the hero she once was. The Munchkin people, she had heard, had moved on from their agricultural roots and had been delving into engineering and technologies. She requested of them a vehicle capable to her task.
The Munchkins constructed the MK-78, which Dorothy nicknamed The Ruby. This craft would allow General Gale and her team to travel across the Land of Oz, finding refugee Winkies and teaching tolerance to the other citizens. Two removable containers (one communication, one a mobile garage) could remain in an area while the ship continued searching for those in need. If difficulty occurs, the ship is equipped with a small fighter dubbed the ”Flying Monkey” to protect both it and those they are trying to help, while the bridge-module also serves as a shuttle. Three Munchkin engineers travel with the ship to keep it operational.
Through her work, Dorothy has been able to bring the Winkies together with the Quadlings, the Rlys and the Hilanders who helped shelter them and guide them on the path to a functional society. Dorothy remains at the helm of The Ruby, bringing the people of Oz together, one brick at a time.
