Ruby Throated Hummingbird feeding on a Mina Lobata Vine (Firecracker Vine). Green Spring Gardens Park
Little Ruby is much desired new member in Silver Birdie family. She was born by Caesarean as the only puppy. Now she is looked after with maximum effort and love in order to ease her start:)
Well... know of another little guy like this having a serious photo shoot in the age of five days? :D

MOC: Ruby Roadster. This started out as a hot rod, but turned into something altogether more classy - which I'm rather pleased with.
Located in Unicoi State Park near Helen, Anna Ruby Falls is one of the most popular waterfalls in north Georgia. The twin waterfalls are created where two separate streams, Curtis Creek (on the left) and York Creek (on the right), join at the base of the falls to form Smith Creek, which flows into Unicoi Lake. Curtis Creek drops 153 feet, and York Creek drops 50 feet.

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, bladelike wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects.
During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/sec, 61x/sec when moving backwards, and at least 75x/sec when moving forward.
I spent yesterday afternoon over at Gibraltar Point and pottered around watching insects. Dragonflies were extremely thin on the ground - I saw only a couple - which was a bit disappointing. Much of the time the light wasn't great and it was very blustery, but I enjoyed myself anyway. Had a lovely piece of strawberry cheescake in the cafe too :-)
This Ruby-tailed wasp was running around on some sea buckthorn. Not sure what it was up to, it just dashed up and down the leaves. I couldn't resist photographing it because I think they're absolutely gorgeous and I don't see many.
Other highlights were watching hundreds of solitary bees (Colletes halophilus) in an area where I've seen and photographed them before at this time of year, observing a mottled grasshopper ovipositing, witnessing a spider wasp catch and take a spider back to its hole... and there was more. I'll post a few more shots later.
The ruby-crowned kinglet is a very small passerine bird found throughout North America. It is a member of the kinglet family. The bird has olive-green plumage with two white wing bars and a white eye-ring. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby-crowned_kinglet
I had just parked when this beautiful little bird landed on my wiper blade directly in front of me! I very slowly retrieved my camera from my pocket and was lucky to get this shot just before the little fella flew off...

Here’s another Ruby-throated hummingbird, this time at lantana ‘miss huff’ and farther away than the one on August 26, so more of a focusing challenge for my camera, but I like the black background.

Ruby Bay, Elie, East Neuk.
The last few times I have ended up at Ruby Bay conditions have been challenging. No exception this time either with an uninteresting blue sky and a strong onshore wind creating a lively sea. The result was a very fine mist on the filters. In the end I gave up and retreated from the beach to the dunes just in the nick of time to get this before the sun disappeared into a big bank of cloud over to the west.
Thanks for viewing and for any comments / faves.
More Ruby!
I think this pretty much finishes off my set from the day - well those I'll post up at least.
Had a lot of fun on this shoot and I've learnt a few new tricks in processing (though not all ideas are winners).

Ruby went to a new home today.
She's an old treadle sewing machine that my mom purchased several years ago. She moved and didn't have the room any more, so Ruby came to my house. She lived here several years. While I've always thought she was pretty, she just sat and gathered dust.
I really have too many little odds and ends tables and trunks that take up room but don't really get used, so I decided that Ruby needed a new home. I found a lady that already has a few treadle machines and is pretty knowledgeable about them. She was excited to meet Ruby and already has a project planned to make with her. I have visitation rights to go see Ruby when ever I want once she is up and in working order.
