I sometimes think my photography days are numbered, nearly over. It'll be due to pain if so. More on that when I have time to elaborate.
HWW!
Thanks for Viewing.
Curious, Kinglet.
----------------------------- JESUS ✝️ SAVES-------------------------------
SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST - ALONE!
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
❤️❤️ IT'S ALL JESUS AND NONE OF OURSELVES! ❤️❤️
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the SALVATION of everyone WHO BELIEVES: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a RIGHTEOUSNESS FROM GOD IS REVEALED, a righteousness that is by FAITH FROM FIRST TO LAST, just as it is written: "THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH." (Romans 1:16-17)
16 KNOW that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in CHRIST and NOT by observing the law, BECAUSE BY OBSERVING THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. (Galatians 2:16)
1. Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2. BY THIS GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4. that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5. and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. 6. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8. and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9. For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11. Whether, then, it was I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed. (1 Corinthians 15:1-11)
7. Therefore Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8. All who ever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9. I am the gate; whoever enters through me WILL BE SAVED. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10. The thief comes only to STEAL and KILL and DESTROY; I have come that they may have LIFE, and have it to the FULL. (John 10:7-10)
1 Brothers, my heart's desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3 Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God's righteousness. 4 Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
5 Moses describes in this way the righteousness that is by the law: "The man who does these things will live by them." 6 But the righteousness that is by faith says: "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 "or 'Who will descend into the deep?'" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart," that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: 9 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11 As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." 12 For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile--the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." (Romans 10:1-13)
Jesus came to bring spiritual LIFE to the spiritually dead and set the captives FREE! FREE from RELIGION, ERROR and outright LIES, so WE might serve THE LIVING GOD! In SPIRIT and in TRUTH!
So you'll KNOW, and not think you're to bad for God to love. The Christian LIFE isn't about how good WE are, because NONE of us are! It's about how GOOD JESUS IS! Because JESUS LOVES US, so much he died in our place and took the punishment for all of our sins on himself. The wages of sin is DEATH, and Jesus took the death WE so richly deserved for us and died in our place. The good news is, there's no more punishment for sin left. WE, you and I were all born forgive as a result of the crucifixion of God himself on the cross that took away the sins of the whole world. All we have to do is believe it, and put your Faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. That my friends is REAL UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! YOU ARE LOVED. ❤️ ✝️ ❤️

This beautiful male Ruby-throated Hummingbird didn’t seem happy at all when his feeder got taken down for the season today. He kept buzzing around like crazy where the feeder used to be. I gotta say, I felt bad for the little guy. He probably still has a long way to go. I hope he got lots of nectar before the feeder disappeared.

Archilochus colubris
So happy to finally get to see these INCREDIBLE beauties out in the wild! There were two of them. They hovered directly over my head multiple times over the hour I spent with them...The 8 ticks I picked up were worth it!
Taken in Victoria Park, in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada.
The petunia petals so weighed down with raindrops reflect the trees surrounding our back yard. I love this tint of red.

I haven't had a chance to get out with my camera recently so here is an image taken this spring of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet searching for something to eat.
Thank you for viewing and wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving!! (This is the weekend it's celebrated in Canada)
Another tiny bird - wt 0.25oz, length 4", wingspan 6" - and found throughout boreal North America, but this one has the flamboyant crest of a Roman gladiator, and a beautifully complex, high-pitched acapella.
Olive or gray coloured with the lighter colours underneath, white teardrop-shaped eye ring, large head, no neck, white wingbar, short tail, short bill. Displays crimson crest when disturbed, otherwise keeps it concealed under headdress.
Twitchy, lots of nervous energy, never sitting still, flicking wings nearly constantly; forages near the ground but rarely on the ground. Migrates - northern North America in summers, southern States in winter. Nests high in the conifers.
(Regulus calendula) -- Ruby-crowned Kinglet
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. Alas, the male’s brilliant ruby crown patch usually stays hidden—your best chance to see it is to find an excited male singing in spring or summer.

A male ruby topaz hummingbird (Chrysolampis mosquitus). Hummers are territorial and this one would perch on this branch to watch over his domain. Anytime another hummer entered, he would fly off to chase it away.
I wanted to get him (or any other hummer) feeding off a flower, but they just move so fast. I had to settle for a perch shot. This location was inside a tree, so I used a ladder to get eye-level and a flash to provide fill light.
The male ruby topaz has wonderful colors but they are not on display all of the time (or even most of the time). You need to catch the male when it flares out its feathers which causes it to transfer from a drab brown little bird into something like what you see here - red top, yellow breast.
