A male ruby-throated hummingbird shows his vibrant red throat and tongue while perched at a feeder.
It's always eventful around the hummingbird feeders. Ruby-throated hummingbirds are working on bulking up for their long journey to overwintering grounds in Central America.

Ruby beach. I think one of the most beautiful beaches in Washington. I got here and it was cold, windy, raining hard- not a photographers dream neccasarily. I wasn't satisfied with most of the pictures i took that day. I failed to take a garbage bag or something to protect my camera, so I was using my rain jacket to protect my camera and I got soaked. Most of the images I got were dark and dreary and didn't feel great about them. I just recently put a few of them through HDR treatment and I think it turned out great. It really reflects what I was going through trying to take these pictures.
Ruby Falls is a lovely waterfall as a whole, but when you really check out the details of it, it's pretty much amazing.

I made a spur of the moment decision to head up to Mt Rainier on Saturday, the weather was nice and with the late snowmelt I figured there might be some nice wildflowers to shoot. The problem was once I got to the gate, I handed the ranger my pass who smiled and said, "It's a free weekend so you can just hang onto that."
Groaning to myself, I made my way up to Paradise. Every trailhead I passed was overflowing with vehicles - this was a bad sign and I knew it. Paradise was a joke. The parking lots were completely full with many people driving around, cars were parked well into the Valley.
Heres the thing; being around hoards of people makes me incredibly anxious. Especially if I'm taking photos because I'm sure I look stupid doing it and I'm afraid I'll get in someones way. I know Paradise is not the place to go for solitude on any given day but this was madness. At one point I looked across the valley back up at Paradise, and it looked as if there were a ton of little ants crawling all over the trails.
I decided to spend some time on the Paradise River instead of hiking. These were places that I'd stop at while hiking long the Lakes Trail, or on the way home but never spending more then a few minutes with.
I ended up have a fairly peaceful day, my shooting only being interrupted once. No, I didn't get any hiking in, nor any wildflower shots, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Wednesday.

I'm having a hard time getting a good clear shot of this hyper little fellow....He's got a ruby crest that he raises in excitement, which is barely visible in this photo.

The Ruby-crowned Kinglet is one of North America's smallest birds. It is only 9 to 11 centimeters long and has a wingspan of 16 to 18 centimeters. And it does not sit still for very long. Took me forever to get one shot that was in focus and actually had the bird in it. You won't believe how many shots of just branches I took... LOL
The Kinglet has gray-green upperparts and olive-buff underparts. It has two white wingbars and a broken white eye ring. The wingbar on the greater secondary coverts (closer to the wing-tip) is wider, and is next to a dark band. The Kinglet has a relatively plain face and head, although the male has a scarlet-red crown patch, which is usually concealed by the surrounding feathers. Females are identical to males (except for the crown). Immature birds are similar to adult females, since young males lack a crown patch.
The Kinglet usually moves along branches or through foliage with short hops, and flies with bursts of rapid wing beats. It is constantly active, and is easily recognized by its characteristic wing-flicking. Its flight has been described as "swift, jerky, and erratic".
Arcona skincare uses a pristine assortment of all natural active ingredients that penetrate deep into the cellular layers of the skin to effect real change, inducing that enviable healthy glow. We believe in preserving the body’s own natural energetic system so our skin treatments do not use galvanic currents, electrical machines or aluminum crystals.
Ruby-throated hummingbirds can be found in woodlands throughout much of the eastern half of the U.S. in the summer. These birds rely on nectar and insects, sometimes pulling prey from spider webs!

My old loan horse ruby red. Ruby is a stunning 16.1hh 23 year old chestnut TBXID mare. I loan her for 6 great months. In 2011 from the 4th of December till the 7th of June 2012. She taught me everything and for that I am extremely grateful.

These ruins are at the Ruby Mine in Granite, Montana. The structure of stacked logs on the left has a very serious lean - it is not a problem with camera distortion.
Ruby is some kind of a spaniel mix. She has proved to be quite unmanageable for us. We can't keep her in the fence and we also can't keep her clean. Living with her for the past 6 years has been a struggle and from now on, I will pay more attention to the kinds of dogs that I bring home to live with us.
I rescued Ruby when she was a couple of months old. I intended to have her spayed and get her shots and then adopt her out. I wound up taking her to obedience classes as well. I adopted her out 3 times and people brought her back to me 3 times. She's crazy. She climbs fences and knows how to unsnap a leash. She tears up crates and can open doors. Ruby pretty much does what she pleases. It's been 6 years now. I don't think I'll ever find Ruby a new home.
