An Impossibility with Wings

            There are many amazing things within the mountains shadows but perhaps the most amazing thing of all is the Humming Bird often called “An impossibility with wings”.

            This remarkable creature can fly at 20 miles an hour and within less than a half a second turn around and fly straight south at near forty miles an hour.  It can stay airborne for hours on end, hover for what seems forever and can perform other aerials maneuvers we don’t even have names for.

A Humming Bird is truly an “impossibility with wings”..
