Female ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) visiting giant ironweed (Vernonia gigantea) flowers.
Last light at Ruby Bay, looking out to Elie Ness, with the Bass Rock and East Lothian in the distance.
The ruby-throated hummingbird is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Canada and other parts of Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America.
Here's a little better shot of Ruby Beach. As you can tell, the fog had rolled in, but by this point, it was starting to burn off, thankfully! Hope you enjoy!

Olympic National Park. Well after sunset. No wind and the fresh water stream created a perfect mirror for the heavy clouds. Joy and I had the opportunity to spend 20 days exploring Olympic and Rainier National Parks and the Oregon coast. The road trip covered 4000 miles. Coming from the brown of southern California, the intensity of the GREEN in the temperate rain forests wad almost overwhelming. The weather was tough (it is a RAIN forest!) and the light challenging, but it was a magnificent trip. I hope you enjoy some of the shots.
When I saw this dragonfly I've bben a little bit astonished becaues I thought this to be a white-faced darter. Later I reckognized that this is a ruby whiteface whis had been reported only one time in the Black forest for 30 years.
Als ich die Libelle sah, dachte ich, es wäre eine Kleine Moosjungfer, die außerhalb ihrer üblichen Umgebung, dem Hochmoor, unterwegs wäre. Später bemerkte ich, daß es sich um die Nordische Moosjungfer handelt, die in den letzten 30 Jahren nur 1x im Schwarzwald gemeldet wurde.
#6, the eastbound California Zephyr, paces the Colorado River through Ruby Canyon moments after crossing the state line into Colorado.
The present right-of-way dates back to around 1890 when the D&RGW rerouted the mainline through Ruby Canyon as it converted the route from Salt Lake City to Grand Junction to standard-gauge. The original D&RG narrow-gauge route bypassed the canyon to the north between Mack, Colorado and Whitehouse, Utah.
The woman in the shot stood there forever, so I ultimately had to incorporate her into my composition for this view and then I changed positions. What was frustrating is she wasn't even looking at the sunset or the landscape. She spent most of the time texting on her phone. So I thought about titling the series of shots with her, "Untouched by nature".
Last year I spent a good amount of time shooting the most common Florida hummingbird, the Ruby-throated. All I saw were females, which while beautiful, lack the bright iridescent throat that gives the species its name. When I read up on them, I learned that most of them in South Florida are migratory, the males arriving and departing first. Several friends let me know that they had males at their homes well after the males must have left the area where I was shooting. I’ve recently spent many hours attempting to get the shot I had in mind, a male Ruby-throated with its ruby gorget lit up by the sun. Let me tell you, it’s not easy. I managed to get several that I thought were good, but not what I had in mind. Yesterday, I finally got one that fit my mental picture of what I was after. I’m not done and have some other poses and backgrounds I’m after and will hopefully get before they migrate out in the spring. (Or I get invited to someone’s house where they stay year long. Hint, hint.) (Archilochus colubris) (Sony a9iii, 400mm lens with 1.4 extender for 560mm, f/4, 1/6400 second, ISO 6400)
Tiny ruby crowned kinglet. You can barely see the ruby patch on the head. Taken at Fletcher Park, Fletcher, NC.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are such adorable little birds!
It was so much fun to watch this little female taking a bath from a sprinkler! If you look close, you can see a few water droplets from her feathers.☺️

A Ruby-tailed Wasp leaving a hole in one of our garden bee-hotels. They are VERY active and when I saw it entering the hole, I waited with my camera for it to emerge. They often pause before flying off.
I spent a good bit of time photographing Ruby-throated Hummingbirds a couple of days ago, before the rains shut everything down. In all that time I did not see one male, which is the only sex that sports the ruby neck. That said, this female is quite lovely and I’m sure has many suitors.

From last week-- I thought I'd mix in some other pics with the fall landscapes and water shots. They are still around in our yard, off and on. I think this pic really gives a feel for their flightiness-- they are always moving. Glendale, Missouri
