@ Lost Umbrella Fury begins his experience of Wind! Lost Umbrella Did you lose an umbrella? I know where they go. The wind calls out, the leaves are cavorting already in the air, and the umbrellas want to join them. Waiting for the perfect moment when the wind swoops down and up, the umbrellas catch this drift and sail into the air to play and dance with the leaves.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Pu[.
Fury shook paws with Pu[ the Yellow Lovable Labrador. They both received one silver mole!
Blue And Copper Egg The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.
Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.
Let's Go Fly A Kite! You don’t need to carry a brush for cleaning chimneys or have a bottomless bag to enjoy flying a kite. All you need is a steady wind—not too fierce—and some bit of paper or cloth over a light frame, with a string attached.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Pixie.
Fury shook paws with Pixie the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Grass Flags "There's a fun project in our brochure on how to make a weather vane from an ice cream container lid, scissors, a marker pen, a skewer, a straw and a pin," remarked Fury. "Cool!" responded Tuppence. "We could make a start when we get back to our hotel tonight." Grass Flags Feathery fronds of grass, like little flags, wave in the breeze.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Tuppence.
Fury shook paws with Tuppence the Cairn Terrier. They both received one silver mole!
@ Tilting at Windmills Air was considered a “pure” element, but in fact the air that’s all around us is made up of a variety of gases: primarily nitrogen and oxygen, with almost 1% argon and even smaller amounts of carbon dioxide and other elements such as krypton and helium. The composition of air is just right for life on Earth, though. Tilting at Windmills We are in Don Quixote territory here, in Spain's Castilla–La Mancha region. The area is dotted with numerous vineyards, castles and windmills—and mountain ranges!
While experiencing the Elements, you met Tassie.
Fury shook paws with Tassie the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Drifting Around On The Water The air in Earth’s atmosphere is made up of approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen. Air also has small amounts of lots of other gases, too, such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen. Drifting Around On The Water All the pets are clamouring to see their duck and geese pals. We gather up some bags of seeds and enjoy a leisurely walk to the pond. Spending time outdoors is always so relaxing.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Tiger.
Fury shook paws with Tiger the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
@ Turning Somersaults The idea that four elements – earth, water, air, and fire – made up all matter was the cornerstone of philosophy, science and medicine for two thousand years. Turning Somersaults Racing across the miles, dashing for the shore, tentacles of water, reaching forward, trying to grasp what is just out of reach.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Eric.
Fury shook paws with Eric the Red Dragon. They both received one silver mole!
@ Touchdown "Art galleries can be hard on the paws, can't they, Snowball?" remarked Fury. "Just think of the café and gift shop at the end, Fury! That keeps me going!" Touchdown Sucking up and flinging out, the storm has unleashed its power and sends a column of twisting, churning air downward to rip across the landscape.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Snowball.
Fury shook paws with Snowball the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
@ Children Of The Dandelion Ray Bradbury wrote a book called The Fireman, but the editors found the name boring. They called a local fire station to ask at what temperature book paper would burn at. The firemen put Bradbury on hold, burnt a book, and reported that the temperature it burnt at was 451° Fahrenheit. The rest, as they say, is history. Children Of The Dandelion Each seed has its own propeller that will allow the wind to carry it whirling and dancing across the land until the wind abates and the seed drops to find its new home.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Icy.
Fury shook paws with Icy the Arctic Feisty Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Flag, Great Britain When it’s a hot, muggy summer day, you’ve probably heard the word “humid.” But what does that mean, exactly? Relative humidity is the amount of water that the air can hold before it rains. Humidity is usually measured in percentages, so the highest level of relative humidity—right before it rains—is 100 percent. Flag, Great Britain A flag of Great Britain, fluttering in the breeze. Flags represent an idea or an ideal. Countries, businesses, sports, religions, railways, and clubs all use a flag to represent themselves. Flags are also used in semaphores to convey a message across a distance.
While experiencing the Elements, you met slider.
Fury shook paws with slider the Playful Penguin. They both received one silver mole!
@ The Power Of Water Ray Bradbury wrote a book called The Fireman, but the editors found the name boring. They called a local fire station to ask at what temperature book paper would burn at. The firemen put Bradbury on hold, burnt a book, and reported that the temperature it burnt at was 451° Fahrenheit. The rest, as they say, is history. The Power Of Water The tide roars in, and tons of water will crash to the shore bringing sand, rocks, and treasures.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Crusher the Abominable Sonoman.
Fury shook paws with Crusher the Abominable Sonoman the Yeti. They both received one silver mole!
Crusher the Abominable Sonoman and you found 75 Travel Tokens!
@ Translucent Blue "Oh, Louise Frances! It says in our tour guide that no one knows who invented the fire hydrant, because its patent was destroyed in a fire in Washington in 1836!" declared Fury. "That is ironic for sure!" responded Louise Frances. Translucent Blue The sun is beaming down, the day is warm, and the water is crystal clear and looks so inviting. So let us jump right in and make some waves of our own.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Louise Frances.
Fury shook paws with Louise Frances the Grey Playful Kitten. They both received one silver mole!
@ Swelling Seas “Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cold, Fury!” said Snowflake. “Can you hold my map while I dig out my jumper?" Fury good-naturedly took charge of Snowflake's possessions while she emptied her rucksack of a pack of sandwiches, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of toffees, a paperback novel, a bottle of mineral water, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old train tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some shopping receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and tomato ketchup before locating the jumper right at the bottom. This she donned and then Fury helped her put everything back in her rucksack. Swelling Seas The ocean is always in motion—the water swells—then subsides. Let’s go for a boat ride, and the waves can toss us hither and yon—hope you don’t get seasick.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Snowflake.
Fury shook paws with Snowflake the Silver Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Golden Evening "It's turned a bit hot, Fury. They must have put the heating on! I'm going to take my scarf off," said Abel. "Good scheme! I'll do the same," said Fury. Golden Evening At day's end, the wind gently pushes the grasses down as it sweeps across the field—as if to say— time for sleep.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Abel.
Fury shook paws with Abel the Fennec Fox. They both received one silver mole!
@ Pink and White Tulips "Wind direction is given by the direction from which the wind comes," said Fury. "That makes sense!" replied Lacy. Pink and White Tulips These tulips, swaying in the breeze, make a fine display in the Netherlands.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Lacy.
Fury shook paws with Lacy the Angel Wing Butterfly. They both received one silver mole!

@ Dutch Weathervane "Did you know that fire can only burn on Earth, Fury?" asked Heidi. "I guess I hadn't really thought about it, Heidi! Why is that, then?" "It says here that fire can exist on no known planet, other than Earth itself. This is because the rest of the planets in our Galaxy don’t have enough oxygen to support the burning of a flame." Dutch Weathervane This ornate weathervane in the Netherlands features a splendid full masted ship, and depending on wind direction, will point to noord, zuid, oost or west!
While experiencing the Elements, you met Heidi.
Fury shook paws with Heidi the Black Great Dane. They both received one silver mole!
@ Dancing Dandelion Fluff "When was silver identified as an element?" "Eek—no idea, Pearl!" "Don't worry, Fury! It was as far back as 4000 BCE!" Dancing Dandelion Fluff Oh, to be a dandelion seed swept along on currents of air sailing along on a journey that will end at an unknown destination.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Pearl.
Fury shook paws with Pearl the Posh Peacock. They both received one silver mole!
@ Breezy Fields Air was considered a “pure” element, but in fact the air that’s all around us is made up of a variety of gases: primarily nitrogen and oxygen, with almost 1% argon and even smaller amounts of carbon dioxide and other elements such as krypton and helium. The composition of air is just right for life on Earth, though. Breezy Fields Let’s run through the field as the grasses bend to the wind and the clouds race each other across the sky.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Whimsical.
Fury shook paws with Whimsical the Wisp. They both received one silver mole!
@ Swirling Snow "Today's trivia question, Po!" announced Fury. "When were the first ever windmills built?" "Oh, goodness! I've no idea, Fury, but I imagine they're pretty old!" responded Po. Fury grinned. "Windmills have been in use since 200 BCE. They were first developed in Persia and China." Swirling Snow The wind kicks up the snow, swirling and twirling around until—not only the land but—the very air is saturated—with white mist.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Po.
Fury shook paws with Po the Panda. They both received one silver mole!
@ Poppies, Red and Cornflowers, Blue "The Great Fire of London in 1666 gave rise to many changes, you know, Fury," remarked Starla. "Many streets were widened across London. New building regulations meant that instead of wood, brick had to be used for all houses." Poppies, Red and Cornflowers, Blue These meadow flowers make a colourful sight as they are blown by the passing wind!
While experiencing the Elements, you met Starla.
Fury shook paws with Starla the Blue Beautiful Unicorn. They both received one silver mole!
@ Hot Air Balloon Flight "Art galleries can be hard on the paws, can't they, Rockstar?" remarked Fury. "Just think of the café and gift shop at the end, Fury! That keeps me going!" Hot Air Balloon Flight Take off at dawn and glide gracefully through the countryside in a colourful hot air balloon as the sun rises over rolling hills, chocolate box villages and a patchwork of fields. Enjoy the perfect 360-degree view from 2000 feet in the air in the early morning, the perfect time to soak up spectacular landscapes for as far as the eye can see. It's an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime. It is truly the best way to see the countryside—from the sky!

Fury shook paws with Rockstar the Brown Owl. They both received one silver mole!
@ Ruffled Waters “Ooh, it's just starting to get a bit cold, Fury!” said Cuddles. “Can you hold my map while I dig out my jumper?" Fury good-naturedly took charge of Cuddles's possessions while she emptied her rucksack of a pack of sandwiches, a Thermos flask, a pair of galoshes, a bag of toffees, a paperback novel, a bottle of mineral water, an address book, some postage stamps, an assortment of different coloured biros, a bottle opener, a couple of old train tickets, a handful of golden and silver moles, a door key, some shopping receipts, a screwdriver, a bottle of multivitamins, a lottery ticket and a selection of rather battered sachets of salt, sugar and tomato ketchup before locating the jumper right at the bottom.

Who's for a dip before breakfast?
While experiencing the Elements, you met Cuddles.
Fury shook paws with Cuddles the Tabby Cat. They both received one silver mole!
@ Rural Windmills "Do you know how matches came to be invented, Duchess?" queried Fury. "No, how, Fury?" "An English apothecary, John Walker, used a stick to stir a pot containing antimony sulphide, potassium chlorate & sulphur and some of the mixture stuck to the end of the stick. When he tried to scrape the lump, it easily caught fire and this led to the birth of friction matches. This was in 1827." Rural Windmills What a peaceful early morning scene in the misty dawn, with the dew still on the silver grass.
While experiencing the Elements, you met Duchess.
Fury shook paws with Duchess the Ragdoll Kitten. They both received one silver mole!

@ Florida Storm As Fury's experience of "Wind" comes to an end, he receives a wonderful gift! Short Tree, Violet Gorgeous violet-leafed tree. Perhaps it grows in the fairy forest, or maybe the wizard worked some magic. If you can get seeds from this tree, you may have luck growing it in your garden.
Florida Storm This is no mere wind! This is a hurricane! Stay safe indoors, all pets, you don't want to risk getting blown out to sea! Fury has completed his exploration of "Wind"! Your review of the Elements is over now, but there will be more events in PnF soon!
