"If this isn't life!"

Notes on Cape Buffalo and Glossy Starling from Jim Brandenburg:
"I was on assignment in Kenya for National Geographic
Magazine when I happened upon this scene. My story was Rhinos but this
moment electrified me. I still remember the feeling, a rare moment in my
photographic career, when many compelling elements converged. The
delicate rain fell upon a colorful Glossy Starling as it sat
nonchalantly in a thorn tree in the foreground of one of Africa's most
dangerous animals. The Cape Buffalo kills more people each year than
lions - no gentle cow. With an unpredictable mood they can charge
quickly with deadly power. As Milli's comment says, life's forces
residing in one moment.
Delicate appearances can have ominous
backdrops...
This image rarely gets chosen by editors but
remains one of my personal favorites."
