For Smile on Saturday - What's in a name....
This is my Mum, always known as Ruby though it was in fact her middle name. The name Ruby simply means the gemstone ruby, and also pictured is her mother's engagement ring which is set with three rubies. My middle name is also Ruby... I hated the name when I was a child, it felt very old fashioned, but now it’s cool again and I love it. And it’s nice to have that connection with my Mum.
This is especially poignant as today is the second anniversary of her funeral. Her birth month is August too, she was was nearly 92 when she died, an amazing achievement when you know that she was such a tiny baby she wasn’t expected to survive.
HSoS 😊

I saw her mate the other day, just after I set the camera down for a second. 😮

I've been looking for a hummingbird nest for many years with no success. A big thank you to Dan Keener for pointing this nest out to me.

Ruby throated hummingbird, Rondeau Provincial Park, June 29, 2023.
We have had a dozen, or more, hummers in the yard harassing each other.
This one was gauging two feeders so he was busy.

Make sugar water mixtures with about one-quarter cup of sugar per cup of water. Food coloring is unnecessary; table sugar is the best choice. Change the water before it grows cloudy or discolored and remember that during hot weather, sugar water ferments rapidly to produce toxic alcohol.

ABOUT SYNTHETIC RUBY:-
Synthetic gemstones are physically identical to their natural gemstone counterparts that are mined from the Earth. They have the same physical properties and chemical composition as naturally occurring gemstones. Ruby is aluminum oxide colored red by chromium. Synthetic ruby is often made by simply melting aluminum oxide that contains a trace of chromium. The resulting crystal has the same internal atomic structure as natural ruby as well as the same optical properties, hardness, and chemical composition.
Here’s the back side of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird. It’s a female checking out some blooms of what I’d done my best to identify, Fire Spike Red (Odontonema strictum) If I have the plant wrong, please let me know. I’m looking forward to spending some more time shooting them and hopefully getting a male with its ruby throat on fire. (Archilochus colubris) (Sony a1, 400mm f/2.8 @ 2.8, 1/5000 second, ISO 4000)
I remember how excited I was the first time I saw the Ruby-crowned Kinglet in my bird bath earlier this year. It was so skittish and took me a long time before I got a photo. This little one has become so comfortable with the amenities in my yard, he/she has been willing to pose for some photos today. I am so happy to welcome a new regular to my yard. BUT, the other regular Cooper's Hawk came for a visit today, too. I don't think it got anything, but you know...

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is a small hummingbird with a slender, slightly down curved bill and fairly short wings that don't reach all the way to the tail when the bird is sitting.
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are bright emerald or golden-green on the back and brown, with gray-white underparts. Males have a brilliant iridescent red throat that looks dark when it's not in good light.
