					<description><![CDATA[Wow! That&#039;s a lovely shot! That&#039;s certainly one of those things that you say &quot;I didn&#039;t know that.&quot; Makes perfect sense. There weren&#039;t that many cows way back when the buffalo roamed. I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever seen buffaloes that clean, you didn&#039;t bathe them for the photo did you? :&#062;)

That means a lot, Pam - I still enjoy the teaching aspect since I retired from the classroom 10 years ago (wow, time flies!).  But I learn as much as others do from this process, from my research in preparing posts and from my knowledgeable readers.]]></description>

I do understand where you are coming from, Ron.  I am reminded that a couple of weeks ago I saw a tarantula that was paralyzed by a tarantula hawk and which was dragged off pretty quickly by the wasp.  I know that&#039;s parasitism.  But then I don&#039;t have the fondness for tarantulas that I do for birds.  I probably was blind-sided by the PBS show, for reasons that made sense at the time.  It occurs to me that it would be a good idea to rethink my position.  After all, I took a whole class in parasitology back in college, which I believe I enjoyed.  You are right that parasitism is a result of evolution, and it is hard to argue with that.  Thanks for the perspective.]]></description>

Yes, you reminded me of the size of the bulls...and when I was driving a van in Buffalo land.  There were the dark brown cows and their little red babies everywhere.  As they were crossing the road in front of me, I suddenly realized that a HUGE black ,or almost black, bull was seriously thinking of charging me.  A week before, a woman in a volkswagon was over turned by one of these guys and seriously injured.  Suddenly, I felt something nibbling on my elbow...it was a scarred up, old, white donkey... that was hanging out with the buffalo herd.  I yelped...Big Bad Bull, pawed and snorted a couple of times and decided I wasn&#039;t worth the energy...gave me one last dirty look and joined the cows on the other side of the road.  He seemed as big as a locomotive.]]></description>

Jan, you make a good point about recognizing serendipity.  I shudder to think how many images with serendipitous merit I&#039;ve deleted because I missed something subtle during the culling process.]]></description>
