This little guy "flew in" under the radar. I was blissfully firing at anything that perched and caught it.
It was recently my parents' ruby wedding anniversary - 40 years of wedded bliss! I'm usually asked to make novelty cakes, but enjoyed the opportunity here of having complete free rein to have another go at a proper sugar flower arrangement, which I've not done since a wedding earlier in the summer.
It gave me the chance to try out a number of different flowers and foliage from a wonderful Alan Dunn book on Christmas cakes that I bought last year - he came to our branch of the Sugarcraft Guild last year and demonstrated the dried lotus pods, which are deceptively simple to make but so very effective.
All flowers, foliage and decorative pods are handmade in gumpaste (flowerpaste), all from the Alan Dunn books - rose, maranta leaves (the big ones with the purple veins), Scarlet Plume (my new favourite thing to make), dried lotus pods, Japanese clerodendrun berries and silver philodendron. I made the beaded heart with a box of beads I'd picked up in a haberdashery shop when I bought the ruby ribbon, I rather like beads as a finishing touch to an arrangement.
Last Monday, Ruby went to the RSPCA hospital in Putney to get spayed. She was very brave but I was a nervous wreck waiting for her while they operated! But it all went very well and Ruby is back to bouncing about like a very bouncy thing, even though the vet said she has to be totally non-bouncy for at least a week. She slept most of Monday when we got home, and was a tad woozy on Tuesday during the day, but at about 5pm I took her for a little saunter round the local rose garden (on a lead as per the vet's instructions) and expected her to get tired out very quickly. But no, Ruby decided she wanted to go for a much longer walkie and dragged me all the way round the big park by Blackberry Corner before marching pub-wards bound in an extremely determined manner!
While there she was patted and cuddled by her fan club for an hour or so, but eventually she got tired again and so we went back home where she scoffed down some roast chicken before getting an early night's kip on my bed and stole the blanket.
She's almost back to her normal very happy, bouncy self and so far hasn't been nibbling her stitches so she hasn't had to wear the plastic lampshade.
As usual, she's been a Very Good Dog, bless her! :o)

These are a real pair of the ruby slippers that Dorothy wore in the Wizard of Oz. That is my wife holding them, she is a huge fan of the movie. One of her relatives owns the slippers along with a lot of other old and rare movie memorabilia.
Despite this apparently being a common species, I have never seen one before so excitedly pursued it in my garden the other day, to no avail. I was pleased then that the next day I saw it again, this time reasonably still. I believe this is the most common variety of Ruby Tailed Wasp, the Chrysis Ignita. It can often be found on brick walls (like this one) and lay their eggs in holes occupied by mason bees. It's therefore often called the "Cuckoo Wasp"
As this is a first for me, I've decided to use it as my submission to the 114 Pictures in 2014 group for the category 6. Insect

This little kinglet showed up outside my window while I was working so I jumped up and got a few frames but I neglected to reset the ISO which was way too high :(

Ruby School; Mining began in the area, a short distance north of the border with Mexico, during the 1870's leading to the formation of the town. Ruby became one of the largest mining camps in the area, with a population of 2,000 residents, and prospered until 1940 when the ore in the mine played out. The mine was closed in 1941 and the town almost immediately became a ghost town.

Ruby Van Meter students communicated their appreciation in many ways during a rally in the gym. Some offering Sr. Officer Nathan Carrington and Sgt. Lance Ripperger hugs and high fives, others thoughtful words of support and gratitude. The officers were presented with dozens of hand drawn cards and posters.
I don't really know anything about photography. I have been playing with a nice camera to try to understand how things like ISO, shutter speed and aperture effect things. I think I'm starting to understand but it's like I have to keep learning it again cause the information just pops out of my head as soon as it goes in.
