There Was A Snake

So far walking home within the past month has yielded new sights of wildlife. Several weeks ago I saw this snake weaving it's way through a patch of weeds alongside the river. I couldn't help but get extremely excited. Unfortunately, for some people (my boyfriend) I love reptiles. When I saw this snake I dug out my camera and quickly tried to get a shot. As I moved closer it got away. I even tried to see where it went but it was difficult as it went under the sidewalk and probably into the river.

For all I know this snake is poisonous and I was being too curious. It is the first wild snake I have seen in Korea. The mystical side of me thought it was symbolic and that it linked to someone in my life.

The other little piece of wildlife I ran into was a mouse. But I guess that isn't really much of wildlife, since rodents can be found anywhere in most cities. Still I put meaning to that little fellah, too.

As fall has set in I wonder if I will see any other creatures besides the usual ducks outside. Oh! I did see a feral kitten near the Paris Baguette. I was going to Seoul so didn't try to rescue it. Since then every time I pass by that area I keep my eye out. Hope somebody took it in or picked it up and gave it to a shelter. hmm

Here is a picture of the path home, which I took after seeing the snake. It was still summer time, but the scene pretty much looks the same as now.
