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.

As with all hummingbirds, this species belongs to the family Trochilidae and is currently included in the order Apodiformes. This small animal is the only species of hummingbird that regularly nests east of the Mississippi River in North America.
The Ruby-throated hummingbird is the smallest bird species that breeds in the Eastern United States and Eastern Canada.
This hummingbird is from 7 to 9 cm (2.8 to 3.5 in) long and has an 8 to 11 cm (3.1 to 4.3 in) wingspan. Weight can range from 2 to 6 g (0.071 to 0.212 oz), with males averaging 3.4 g (0.12 oz) against the slightly larger female which averages 3.8 g (0.13 oz). Adults are metallic green above and greyish white below, with near-black wings. Their bill, at up to 2 cm (0.79 in), is long, straight, and very slender. As in all hummingbirds, the toes and feet of this species are quite small, with a middle toe of around 0.6 cm (0.24 in) and a tarsus of approximately 0.4 cm (0.16 in).
The Ruby-throated hummingbird can only fox-trot if it wants to move along a branch, though it can scratch its head and neck with its feet.
The species is sexually dimorphic. The adult male has a gorget (throat patch) of iridescent ruby red bordered narrowly with velvety black on the upper margin and a forked black tail with a faint violet sheen. The red iridescence is highly directional and appears dull black from many angles. The female has a notched tail with outer feathers banded in green, black, and white and a white throat that may be plain or lightly marked with dusky streaks or stipples. Males are smaller than females and have slightly shorter bills. Juvenile males resemble adult females, though usually with heavier throat markings. The plumage is molted once a year, beginning in late summer.
The breeding habitat is throughout most of eastern North America and the Canadian prairies, in deciduous and pine forests and forest edges, orchards, and gardens. The female builds a nest in a protected location in a shrub or a tree. Of all hummingbirds in the United States, this species has the largest breeding range.
The ruby-throated hummingbird is migratory, spending most of the winter in southern Mexico and Central America, as far south as extreme western Panama, and the West Indies. During migration, some birds embark on a nonstop 600 mile journey across the Gulf of Mexico from Panama to Florida. The bird breeds throughout the eastern United States, east of the 100th meridian, and in southern Canada, particularly Ontario, in eastern and mixed deciduous forest. In winter, it is seen mostly in Mexico.
Ruby-throated hummingbirds are solitary. Adults of this species are not social, other than during courtship (which lasts a few minutes); the female also cares for her offspring. Both males and females of any age are aggressive toward other hummingbirds. They may defend territories, such as a feeding territory, attacking and chasing other hummingbirds that enter.
As part of their spring migration, portions of the population fly from the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico across the Gulf of Mexico, arriving first in Florida and Louisiana. This feat is impressive, as a 800 km (500 mi), non-stop flight over water would seemingly require a caloric energy that far exceeds an adult hummingbird's body weight of 3 g (0.11 oz). However, researchers discovered the tiny birds can double their fat mass by approximately one gram in preparation for their Gulf crossing, then expend the entire calorie reserve from fat during the 20 hour non-stop crossing when food and water are unavailable.
Hummingbirds have one of the highest metabolic rates of any animal, with heart rates up to 1260 beats per minute, breathing rate of about 250 breaths per minute even at rest, and oxygen consumption of about 4 ml oxygen/g/hour at rest. During flight, hummingbird oxygen consumption per gram of muscle tissue is approximately 10 times higher than that seen for elite human athletes.
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.

Ruby Grapefruit through falling water. I have used Photoshop to remove flash artifacts, so I apologize if that is obvious in some of these.
You seldom get the perfect capture in these experiments, but sometimes you get tantalizingly close.

Ruby Tuesday (5,500 square feet)
12300 Jefferson Avenue, Suite 208, Patrick Henry Mall, Newport News, VA
Opened in July 1989
Shot as part of my studio portrait brief. We had to re create the work of another photographer. I chose Chuck Close and his photos of Kate moss. www.wmagazine.com/images/celebrities/archive/2003/09/cess... and neilperkin.typepad.com/only_dead_fish/images/2007/10/11/c... Pretty stoked on how these all came out. Shot on an RB67 with some Fuji Neopan 400. I just shot with the tungsten lights so i could shoot at 2.8 and get the minimum DOF. Been wanting to shoot some portraits with DOF like this for a while. And i want to shoot more. I admit the lighting could be improved on alot.
This has to be the one I'm most pleased with.
Ruby's spotted something whilst enjoying the late October sun on the garden bench.

Comentemos tu imagen, Ruby....esos chips te quedan divinos!
Ruby: SÃ, es que mi versión infantil es una Fiori... son los suyos de stock
Espectaculares. Me alegra haberme atrevido a quitárselos
Ruby: Con el retoque ya se veÃan asÃ....
Pero no es lo mismo que verlos puestos! Estas preciosÃsima!
Ruby: Pues menos mal que me ha puesto unos ojos bonitos, porque el resto...
Solo tengo un obitsu L, lo siento
Ruby: Quizá si apruebo, papá...
Crees que aprobarás si te pongo una talla L delante?
Ruby: N-no
Ay...tampoco es lo tuyo, eh?
Ruby: Es que no me gusta! Es super aburrido! Y las mates son dificilÃsimas!
Ya, ya...a Noa tampoco le gustaban
Ruby: Pero era un coco! Si querÃa, aprobaba! En cambio yo, por mucho que me mate...
...algo que tampoco haces....
Ruby: ...aunque lo hiciera...no las entiendo! Odio estudiar!
Y qué te gusta hacer?
Ruby: Ir de compras!
Caray, que claro lo tienes!
Ruby: Porque cree que trabajo?
Comprar? Nada mas?
Ruby: Uy, sÃ! Conciertos, bailar, chatear...esas cosas
Dibujar no?
Ruby: No. Otro talento que no he heredado, hay que joderse! ¬¬
Ruby Tiger and spider. I saw this dead moth on the path and picked it up. But it wasn't dead. You can see in the photo what I couldn't see - the leg of the spider that was underneath it, attacking. When I picked it up the spider came too, but soon abandoned its intended meal to head off over the top of my fingers and drop to safety. I'm not sure if the moth survived. It seemed quite happy walking about but couldn't fly. I placed it carefully on a dandelion head and hoped it recovered. Otherwise I deprived the spider for nothing.
