Description: "Just a Touch of Ruby"
Ruby Throated Hummingbird feeding on a Mina Lobata Vine (Firecracker Vine). Green Spring Gardens Park
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.

On review I think the jpeg save setting I used over sharpened her skin a little here - may replace later.
EDIT> I tried a darker exposure but I wasn't a fan so I've given this a small lift.
Ruby the rollergirl is ready to skate into your heart!
Ruby was created especially as a donation for a raffle at Blythecon - so you might go home with your very own new happibug! Ruby sports an anchor tattoo in honor of her roller derby team, "The Portland Sailors". When she's not working out with her team, Ruby studies medicine at Oregon Health and Science University. Ruby is a custom Simply Chocolate (fbl mold) with an adorable layered bob. Ruby skates to win in her dollicious romper in blue polka dots and red stripes, with a removable anchor pin. She has a felt helmet decorated with sequined polka dots (to protect her smart and pretty little head during derby games!) and handpainted matching roller skates with little rhinestones on the wheels! Ruby's pull charms are an anchor and a tag that says "smile" because that's what we hope Ruby will make you do! <3
Thanks so much for visiting and saying "Hi" to Ruby! Together, we send you lots of love!

Photographed along the Yakima River at Ringer Road, Kittitas County, Washington. Although not the best photos I wanted to upload an image that shows the ruby crown for which the bird is named. IMG_9972
MOC: Ruby Roadster. This started out as a hot rod, but turned into something altogether more classy - which I'm rather pleased with.

A Fujifilm X-T4 camera with an XF 100-400mm OIS f/4.5~5.6 lens was used to capture this moment @ 400mm, f/5.6 1/5000 sec, ISO-1000, DSCF6037, Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge
Caught in the moth trap set up in the garden last night - a ruby tiger. They look nothing special until you get some lighting on them and then go for exposure of the underwings and body. Then they are gorgeous.

fall begins (spring for some of you) and Ruby brings a new issue for you to enjoy the change of season. this new issue includes: tania bedrinana, darren harvey-regan, sören hüttel, india richer, darin shuler, ricky allman, jochen klein and billy dunlap.
also, i would like to let you know that i only have 20 Ruby Books #2 left so if you want to get yours this is the time to do it!
Finally, I got its photo...I call this one elusive, flitting about here and there and not allowing me to take a photo...and then, with time and patience, like with many things, I got him/her!!
More info: A tiny bird seemingly overflowing with energy, the Ruby-crowned Kinglet forages almost frantically through lower branches of shrubs and trees. Its habit of constantly flicking its wings is a key identification clue. Smaller than a warbler or chickadee, this plain green-gray bird has a white eyering and a white bar on the wing.

RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD-08211712
My first Ruby-tailed Wasp of 2014. This male investigating my "bee-hotel"; presumably, prospecting for a mate.
Looks like one of the Chrysis species. These parasitise the nests of various Ancistrocerus mason wasps and some other solitary wasp species. Chrysis ignita is also thought to parasitise Red Mason Bee nests.
