In my graduate studies in Psychology, one unit we studied was "interpersonal attractiveness". The professors at my university had done numerous studies of what makes a person attractive.

This little video was taken through my second-floor bedroom window, looking down on a vine maple tree in the backyard. The leaf in the lower center looks like it is dancing in the air. Can you figure out how that leaf stays in the air?
On September 1, my Hubby and I got into our car, and drove to South Dakota, for a Ricochet meetup with members from all over the US. Our drive took us through Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota finally. It was an uneventful drive, and the scenery we saw was spectacular. We …
