Ruby

I've taken and deleted tons of shots trying to capture the red throat feathers of a male Ruby-throated Hummingbird. The light has to catch the feathers just right. The feathers look more red with the naked eye. :0)

Thank you so much for your kind responses to yesterday's dragonfly pic!!! :0)
