Spectacular Anna Ruby Falls lies in the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest. The quiet coolness of the area is broken only by the thundering rush of water flowing over the rugged cliff face. Anna Ruby Falls marks the junction of Curtis and York Creeks. Both creeks begin on Tray Mountain and are fed by underground springs, rain, and snow. Curtis Creek drops 153 feet and York Creek 50 feet to form the twin waterfalls known as Anna Ruby Falls. From the falls, Smith Creek tumbles downhill to Unicoi Lake and then to the Chattahoochee River. It's journey continues south, eventually joining the Applachicola River in Florida and ending its 550-mile journey in the Gulf of Mexico. A paved 0.4-mile footpath leads from the parking lot to the base of the falls.

The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to 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.
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).[2][3] 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 shuffle if it wants to move along a branch, though it can scratch its head and neck with its feet

My dormant, brown grass serves as a pretty good background for this shot. The 100 degree Fahrenheit (38+ Celsius) days are beginning to wear me down. Sheesh!
La hierba marrón y seca de mi patio trasero sirve como buen fondo para esta toma. Los días de 100 grados Fahrenheit (38+ Celsius) empiezan a agotarme. ¡Dios mío!
I finally caught a ruby crowned kinglet out in the open and sitting still long enough for a photo. Only wish he had his little red feathers up.

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 designed her own lunchbox by adding stickers. Here we have beautiful woman + ugly woman = normal woman; and warm colors + cool colors = rainbow.
