(Click to Enlarge)Ruby Tuesday seems the perfect time to begin a little blogging again. For those of you waiting for a new Lily and Lucy pic I promise it's coming soon. If you're wondering where I've been I unfortunately got sick during my visit and had to prolong my trip back home. I'm still not quite myself but I feel much better than I have in a couple of weeks.
On to the rubies above. I took this a couple of days before I left. This was taken through my sunroom window as I watched all the varieties of birds that showed up that day. I was excited to see the cardinal couple be joined by the red-bellied woodpecker. Their bright reds make lovely rubies don't you think?
An added bonus the same day was the cardinal being joined by the red-winged blackbird. Just a moment before the cardinal was perched calmly on the edge of the feeder when the red wing landed on the other side causing the cardinal to lose balance as the feeder swayed. I had been clicking continously and by luck caught the flurry of wings and tail feathers.Wishing you all a Ruby day!

Oh my friend. I'm sorry that you got sick. I hope you are getting better and that your knee is also better. I can't wait to see Lily and Lucy :) I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day :) Love these photos. How cute. You take care my friend :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post & great blog. I'll be popping back to have another read through!
ReplyDeleteHappy RT - and look forward to *seeing* you again next time!
Mine’s HERE!
LOLA:)
Your cardinal seems to get along with so many other birds. Mine seem to take off - a tad shy, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteCarletta,
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see you back with your Ruby Tuesday! :) The birds are beautiful!
Looking forward to pics of your little girls!

Sorry that you've been sick, hope you feel better with each passing day.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely shots, Carletta. I particularly love the second one, the movement in it is so well captured.
Such bird combinations, lovely for rubies.
ReplyDeleteHad wondered where you were, although I still don't blog like I used to.

Welcome back. I hoped you were off playing and having fun. I am so sorry to hear that you've been ill. I love this last photo of the Cardinal trying to catch his balance.
ReplyDeleteYes your rubies are beautiful. Welcome back -- you were missed. Stay well.
ReplyDeletewish you the best speedy recovery. the birds are lovely.
ReplyDeleteso sorry you're ill
ReplyDeleteget better quick!!
the birds are very sweet
I love their vivid color
I hope you continue to get better! Scenes like these can be quite therapeutic, the beautiful rubies are landing where you can capture the events of their lives as they occur. The cardinal must really feel that he will fall off the feeder - forgetting that he can actually fly. Beautiful captures!
ReplyDeleteI love watching cardinals they are just so pretty. Happy RT!
ReplyDeleteMy Cardinal
They do make lovely rubies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great capture at the feeder, Carletta! An action shot.
I hope you are feeling better soon. Take care ~
Great post for Ruby Tuesday!!!! Love those little RED birdies!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better. I wondered what had happened. But--we were gone for a week ourselves (to the beach)...
Glad you are back!
Have a wonderful week.
Hugs,
Betsy
I have been checking every day or two to see if you were back...sorry you have been sick. I hope you get over your illness soon...you hit the nail on the head about looking for pics of Lily and Lucy. I kept expecting to see their bright little faces here.
ReplyDeleteI love that you captured a cardinal and a red-winged blackbird at the same feeder.
I've been wondering where you've been. Sorry to hear you've been sick. Hope you feel better soon. Nice shot with the "red" birds all together!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Carletta. I too am very sorry that you got sick while on holiday with the grandkids. I will wait for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteI like your cardinals and the woodpecker. My bet is that they don't become very good friends.
Happy RT! You can drop in for family pictures on mine.
