Lovely Moments Of Squirrel Enjoying The Sweetness Of Flowers Captured
If you have wondered what animals would do when they think they are not observed, then these photos by Dick van Duijn would be extremely helpful. The photos of a squirrel enjoying the sweet scent of a flower are brought to us, previously thought of only able to come out of Movies.
Simply at the perfect moment in a perfect position, Van Duijn was able to snap photos of not only the mentioned squirrel but also other creatures having a great day with the warm weather.
Van Duijn shares that he had to travel to Vienna alongside a friend, who is also a photographer, to catch the sight of the ground squirrels and flowers just before sunset. The success of the images is attributed to the lovely acts of the animals, combined with the pleasant light. “I didn’t expect the photos to become so popular all over the world,” says Van Duijn.
To date, the photographer has been in this job for nearly nine years, with just a Nikon to capture all types of scenes, from portraits, sports to special events, only to discover his true love to be the wild nature and animals.
His exploration of the field has paid off, and he’s learned a lot about capturing creatures on camera. It’s all about reading the animal. “Sometimes you can photograph the animals from very close,” he explains, “like the foxes I photograph near my hometown. They are used to people and come very close to you.” Other times, you’ve got to be sneakier. “The birds and red squirrel photos are taken from hides in the woods. The animals who show up in front of those hides can’t see you and they are only a few meters away from you.”
