The Woolston Club, Christchurch, New Zealand.
The annual Hummingbird migration festival will be staged September 10-12 at the Strawberry Plains Audubon Center in Holly Springs, Mississippi. This female Ruby-throated is one of many that will be visible on the grounds.
Without the access to a Ruby Tuesday in Los Angeles (and even if there were one, I wouldn't be able to eat the halaal-less meat) I took full advantage of the restaurant in the Citystars mall in Nasr City, Cairo.
We went last night to get stuff from Snippeys, and we decided (well I decided really) to eat dinner at the place I've been obsessed with for so long but had never ever been to.
What did I order? Bacon Cheeseburger. Oh yes. Cheese, beef, bacon. All halaal of course. It was tasty... but I wish I hadn't gone with the bacon. It gave the burger a werid taste. It didn't taste like real bacon (says Amy) but I was more interested in the beef anyway.
I was considering ordering a steak as well... but was unanimously convinced not to. I'll go back to doniate the sirloin, Inshallah, mark my words!

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, bladelike wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects.
During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/sec, 61x/sec when moving backwards, and at least 75x/sec when moving forward.
Fort Ruby: (Ruby Valley in northern White Pine County) Established in 1862 by Colonel Edward P. Connor with 600 men who marched all the way from Stockton, California. A reservation of six square miles was laid out and given the name Camp Ruby. Its name came from the nearby mountains where pioneers found "rubies" and "ruby sand," actually garnets, in the gravel of the streams.
Ruby Tuesday: The glowing red sun rises up into the cloud laden sky, full of rain for later, but for now the beach has promised to give anyone up a show.
Ruby Van Meter students communicated their appreciation in many ways during a rally in the gym. Some offering Sr. Officer Nathan Carrington and Sgt. Lance Ripperger hugs and high fives, others thoughtful words of support and gratitude. The officers were presented with dozens of hand drawn cards and posters.
