I assumed I would see allot of dogs and cats and even some bunnys & goats with this weeks theme word...but I also assume that EACH and EVERY one of yours is the prettiest and the smartest cat/dog...so I took a bit of a different interpretation of the word "furry" with an original photograph. The last two photos are my twin sister's furry teddy bears and her very furry bear rug she has in her bear collection in California...

My first photo is a furry little hummingbird. My sister's friend, Tami Sigurson, took this magnificent photo of a baby Hummingbird sitting on her two tiny eggs...then I found this amazing video on YouTube that was just too amazing not to include with an original photograph. Amazing that the momma bird stood still long enough to feed her babies, since their wings flutter 1,260 beats a minute! They fly an average of 25-30 miles per hour (mph) and can dive at 60 mph! They visit approximately 1000 flowers a day. Hummingbirds do not mate for life but have a "clutch" of two white eggs producing a brood once a season.

Hummingbirds are part of the Trochilidae family found only in the Americas. They are unknown in the Eastern Hemisphere. With 343 species, hummingbirds make up the Western Hemisphere's second largest family of birds.

The most astonishing quality of hummingbirds is their ability to broadcast color. Hummingbirds radiate like hot coals in the sun. The color that reaches your eye is created by pigment, which absorbs some colors and rejects others. Like soap bubbles, the hummingbird's color comes from iridescence, not pigment. It winks on and off, depending on the light source and the angle of the viewer. This allows hummingbirds to flash colors or hide them which is useful for males who want to impress females or threaten other males.
