While out walking this morning I chanced to see two female Common Mergansers in the river. While taking their pictures I was wondering to myself if their reddish heads might qualify as a red for a Ruby Tuesday post, for I 
didn't have anything else in mind for today's posting. However, the qualifying, or not, issue, flew from my head as I downloaded my photos and saw the beautiful red reflections in the water from the colourful autumn leaves on the trees which lined the shore.

Looks ruby to me! What lovely reflections! I imagine really seeing the ducks float around in those reflections was pretty neat.
ReplyDeletePlenty of red for me. I like the reflections, as that is what I used in my RT. Have a great Ruby Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteOh, I absolutely love the water reflections! I took some photos of water yesterday, and it was hard to get something with which I was happy. Not enough differentiation in my water compositions. Anyway, love your mergansers, they look great in the reddish water.
ReplyDeleteIsn't autumn a great season for all shades of red.
ReplyDeleteMighty impressive that you caught the colors of fall in the water.
The birds are unfamiliar to me, but as you put it, red enough. A splash!

Look at those fall colors in the water. Lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteOh yes. I'd say your photos definitely qualify. Happy Ruby Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteFirst I love your header! I can see different tones of red. Well done.
ReplyDeleteMergansers are red enough for me, but that water reflection is really nice, too! Looks like you caught one of the ladies either just finishing or just starting to periscope below the sruface.
ReplyDeleteThese are just down right pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow! Very nice shots!

ReplyDeleteNice series of pictures! Fall in knocking at the door.

ReplyDeletelovely colors! I like the water reflection...
ReplyDeleteI think common Mergansers are the most elegant ducks, especially when the "men" in their full breeding plumage accompany their "lady". I love the fall colours in your pictures.
ReplyDeleteYour leaves already turned colors like that? Wow! What a capture. Ours are just starting...
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Tuesday :o)
Yep they qualify, and so does that beautiful reflection in the water.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Tuesday.
We have only had rare visits from the hoodies...But I really LOVE the color reflections...
ReplyDeleteI love the reflected color in the water. Nice capture.
