Magpie Mind

A friend called herself a “magpie ” as she toyed with some gold-ish jewelry.

“I just love shiny things!” she cawed.


Scientific American* magazine cites a study showing that plants with colorful flowers are the most likely to be studied by numerous biologists, even when a less colorful plant nearby may be a more endangered species.


All that glitters does not even have to be gold to attract the magpie mind.

Author’s observation: when this blog is decorated with a colorful image, readership increases.
