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

Ruby was working in part of Bridlington’s Treasure Island amusement arcade when I saw her. As there wasn’t anyone at her counter, I decided to go over and introduce my stranger project to her.
I asked Ruby to stand near the front of her counter so more daylight illuminated her and then all I had to do was choose my angle so that nothing too bright or colourful appeared in the background as they would become distractions.
Ruby told me she had worked in Treasure Island for a year. Ruby had taken this job to support her whilst she studied law at college. Ruby was now in the second year of her course and when this was completed, she’d go to university to continue her studies. Ruby said her ultimate goal was to become a defence lawyer.
If Ruby could change one thing in the world it would be to make everything cheaper.
Thank-you Ruby for saying yes to being photographed for my stranger project. I hope you like your portrait.
This picture is number 407 in my 100 Strangers project, yes, I’ve decided to do a fifth round. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at the 100 Strangers Flickr Group page

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.
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 Falls
Lookout Mountain
Chattanooga Tennessee
1 Sec. Exposure
Located 1120 ft. (341 m) beneath Lookout Mountain, Ruby Falls is 145 ft. (44 m.) underground waterfall. Giving viewers only 7 minutes to view this unique underground formation, the lights from the sides of the cave walls and in the plunge pool change colors from red, to green, to purple and to blue. The waterfall is fed by a stream somewhere on Lookout Mountain but where the stream enters the mountain is unknown.

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.

This is one of my favourite little frogs, the ruby eyed tree frog, and it certainly seemed to like me too if the number of times it jumped on me was any indication!

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.
This is the preferred perch for this male ruby-throated hummingbird. Sure, it perches other places, but not as much as this perch. As you can see, it can't stay long before it is time to launch another defense of his territory.
Esta es la percha preferida del colibrí garganta rubí macho que ha declarado mi patio como su territorio. Seguro que se posa en otras ramas de vez en cuando pero no con la frecuencia en que se posa aquí. No puede disfrutar su percha mucho porque pronto se arroja a la defensa de su territorio.
The male ruby-throated hummingbird does indeed have a striking red throat, though the female of the species does not.

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.
