I captured this female Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Silver Creek Preserve in St. Clair County, Illinois.
Now the garden is filled with hummingbirds. We all seem to like my new favourite flower, the crocosmia. What a fabulous combo they are! It was a bit hard dashing around all the garden flowers, pots, lights, and so on to catch the little hummingbirds as they dashed around. It was windy, too (so all hand-held). The little hummers are so intent on their feeders and flowers that they hardly mind my presence, at all... though they zip by so fast.

Joe Parks and I celebrated this year's Thanksgiving in beautiful, FREEZING cold Olympic National Park. I'd been hoping to visit Olympic for years, and it didn't disappoint! We spent the better part of Thursday driving up from Portland, arriving just in time to catch the sun going down over Ruby Beach.

Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you...

Ruby-crowned Kinglet singing away. Just wish the light had been better to get the right depth of field :0)
I've been trying to create brighter images, but this hummingbird only allowed me the chance to snag one photo before flying off, meaning I was not able to adjust the settings. The best laid plans of mice and men...

This experiment was an attempt to recreate the fluorescence of chromium activated corundum (aka 'ruby'). Aluminum hydroxide was mixed with 1-4 drops of Cr(III) oxide in a basic solution. This was placed on a small amount of aluminum sulfate in an aluminum foil container and a bit of water was added.
The sample was then heated, first with a propane torch until the water was removed and then with a MAPP gas torch until the aluminum sulfate expanded into foam, trapping the aluminum hydroxide which was calcined into aluminum oxide by the torch's flame. (at least that was the plan)
Shown also is a natural ruby from Mysore, India.

Anna Ruby Falls near Helen Georgia. Went to Georgia 2 weeks ago, didn't get to do nearly as much photography as I had hoped. I've been busy for the last 2 weeks, but hopefully I'll get to start posting more shots from my trip in the next few days.
About the size of a golf ball, this tiny ruby-throated hummingbird rests on garden lights enjoying the late afternoon sun.
We just bought a new hummingbird feeder - hence all the shots of these little guys.
