Have you ever wondered what animals do when they think no one is looking? Dick van Duijn gives us some insight by sharing his charming wildlife photography. He captured a now-viral photo of a ground squirrel appearing totally in the moment as it smells the sweet scent of a flower. The adorable scene looks like something out of a movie! Van Duijn was clearly in the right place at the right time, because that's not the only cute squirrel photo he snapped that day. Several more of his images show the creatures as they enjoy the sunny weather.
To shoot these photos, van Duijn and a photographer friend traveled to Vienna where they caught sight of the ground squirrels and flowers just before sunset. The adorable activities, coupled with the soft light of the evening, is what has helped make this piece so successful. “I didn’t expect the photos to become so popular all over the world,” he tells Abousin.club.
