Green Mile with a Special Guest

It has been entirely too long since I took my camera in search of wildlife. But today I took my wife on the "Green Mile." She is over here visiting from the states and we are very much enjoying our time together. Here's our lovely guest photographer now....



We were greeted by a couple of Korean Chipmunks on the wall early on in our stroll. They were fairly tolerant of our approach, and quite cute.



We also saw several spiders (surprise, surprise--these things are everywhere.) This one had apparently dispatched a dragonfly fairly recently. By the look of it, they are quite filling. I wonder if it lost one of its legs in the battle?




Toward the end of our walk, my guest photographer took some pictures of Uijeongbu and also the traditional burial mounds on post.



Meanwhile, I was busy snapping pictures of a Brown Shrike.





The shrike was a lifer...all the more sweet because I shared it with my wife. Thanks again for joining us on our walk.
