Original tiled street sign uncovered after advertising board removed - murdered policeman P. C. Henderson and wood carver Richard Old and Mariner William Henry Stubbs R.N. all lived in Ruby Street.
The D.C. branch of the well-known Ruby Foo’s chain opened in 1942 at 728 13th Street NW. Ruby Foo Wong (1904–1950) had opened her first Ruby Foo’s Den in Boston in the late 1920s to great acclaim. More sprang up in New York City before Wong’s brother opened the Washington restaurant. More a supper club than just a restaurant, Ruby Foo’s featured dining on the first floor, dancing and entertainment on the second and “exotic” Chinese décor throughout. In 1943, the second floor was remodeled as a Tahitian Room featuring Hawaiian dancers and jungle greenery. The restaurant suffered a setback in 1950, when cases of colorful Ruby Foo’s matchbooks like this one caught fire in the rear, starting a blaze that resulted in injuries to 13 firemen. The club closed in the late 1950s.
The rain stopped for a moment this afternoon and the birds noticed. Birds singing everywhere. This Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) female hovered around the feeder and rested a few times on a nearby twig.
The light was still poor: ISO 1000 and f/10 only gave 1/60 sec exposure. Handheld, no flash, 500 mm focal length, cropped by about 40 %.

Ruby Falls, located 1,120 feet underground inside Lookout Mountain with a height of 145 feet, is one of the tallest underground waterfalls in the world.
The falls were discovered by Leo Lambert in 1928 and named them after his wife, Ruby. Earlier this year, the cave was closed for 3 days after heavy rainfall flooded a portion of the caves.
If you haven't visited here, you need it. It's quite the experience.
Notice the spider web (or is it a sticky situation) streaming from the beak of this female Ruby-throated hummingbird to the lily's stigma. They use spider web as "glue" to hold their nesting material together.
Experience is never limited, and it is never complete, it is an immense sensibility, a kind of spider web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue". ~Henry James
Cool Facts From: www.hummingbirds.net
The walnut-sized nest, built by the female, is constructed on a foundation of bud scales attached to a tree limb with spider silk; lichens camouflage the outside, and the inside is lined with dandelion, cattail, or thistle down. The nest will stretch to contain the growing nestlings, and may sometimes be reused (rebuilt) the following year.

In the Northeast, our only breeding hummingbird is the Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Their nest is hard to find (it's a little bigger than a quarter), but is a sight to behold, made entirely of spiderweb encrusted with flakes of lichen -- a masterpiece of engineering and design! For safety from predators, they seem to favor building their nests on branches overhanging water.

Kinglets are tiny insectivores that actively forage for insect and spider eggs on the undersides of foliage. They weigh less than an ounce and are among the smallest of songbirds. They often hover in front of a branch, gleaning food from its tips and undersides. Kinglets often flick their wings as they move about.

Hummingbirds enjoying the rain at San Pablo's Retreat and Guest House, Valencia, Trinidad and Tobago.
A Ruby-throated Hummingbird photographed in my backyard over the weekend, seen here feeding from a Petunia. First time this summer I have took to my backyard for these guys. Figures when I went out side all the clouds rolled in and chocked out all my light. Other then that, I was fairly happy with my first attempt of the summer.
