Ruby-throated hummingbird drinks from a feeder.
Strobist: Three 580EXII on stands surrounding the feeder at 1/64 -1/3 at around 10" away. Waited until the ambient dropped well below the flash exposure, 1/250 @ f/11, ISO 100 to knock the background to black. This left me about 10 minutes to shoot, triggering with Pocket Wizards.

It can be difficult capturing these little birds perched, which only weigh an average of about 3 grams. The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is migratory, spending most of the winter in southern Mexico, Central America as far south as South America, and the West Indies.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are solitary. Adults of this species typically only come into contact for the purpose of mating, and both males and females of any age aggressively defend feeding locations within their territory. The aggressiveness becomes most pronounced in late summer to early fall as they fatten up for migration. Some of these birds weigh as much as 7.5+ grams in preparation for the migration.

This ruby-throated hummingbird was fiercely guarding the hummingbird feeder we set up at out camp site. I'm afraid she was probably devastated when we left.

Good ol' Ruby Tuesday. Did you know her middle name was Facedown? Me neither.
The older lady coming up on the right was trying to stop her husband, telling him - "Stop! They're trying to take a picture." Then when I laid down, she simply said, "Oh dear". They looked at me kind of funny when I jumped up and went to my truck. Happy Face Down Tuesday!
HFDT!

Ruby Red 11"x14" acrylic on gallery wrap canvas. Ripe and sassy, this elegant red is firm and sinewy, yet balanced; shows fine length and freshness, lingering easily and persisting on the lively finish. A sensual red wine pour spills over a wine goblet forming hair tresses enveloping a beautiful woman's face inside the goblet.
Ruby Beach on the Pacific Ocean, Olympic National Park in Washington State. Even with the overcast weather, the coastline was spectacular. The sea stacks, the trees growing right down to the edge of the beach and the driftwood were all new to me.
The beach gets its name from red garnets which can be found in the stream.

Ruby-crowned Kinglets are one of the busiest birds I have ever seen. They hardly ever sit still and are always flicking those wings. They always make me smile. Wyandotte, Kansas.
Just received a bulk roll of expired but freezer stored 35mm Agfa APX100 film.
Loaded a short roll in my Pentax SP2, grabbed the 50/1.4 and Ruby and we went into the backyard for a quick film test.
Developed in D76 (stock) for 9 mins in the Jobo.

My winter resident Ruby-throated Hummingbird was kind enough to pose for me earlier this year. I submitted this image in our local Wild Birds Unlimited photo contest. The contest requires that the the image show both a bird and a product that you can buy from the store. The contest winners are chosen by a popularity contest as customers come into the store throughout the month.
This image won second place, and while I would have loved to have made first place, my friend Paul Hueber won that prize with his Painted Bunting image. I'm losing track of how many years he's beaten me! It's hard to compete against a male Painted Bunting. Congratulations, Paul!
Thank you all for your support and comments.

I was trying to entice this ruby-throated hummingbird to take nectar from this yellow lantana. This is as close as it would come.
Trataba de atraer este colibrí gorjirrubí para que tomara néctar de esta lantana amarilla. Esto representa qué tan de cerca llegaba el colibrí a la planta.

Ruby rises at dawn
With a sigh and a yawn
And a dream lingers on
In her dream she's a swan
With a cloud over head
Ruby swims out of bed
She removes from her hair
Monsters made out of air
And she screams with no sound
As her feet touch the ground
She'll be a morning shadow
She'll be a morning shadow
with the Sun that rises
She dematerializes
Ruby rise at dawn
With a sigh and a yawn
And you search for a trace
But there's none in her face
Of the thoughts that she keeps
They are lost in her sleep
She'll be a morning shadow
She'll be a morning shadow
with the sun that rises
She dematerializes
