A now-viral
photo of a ground squirrel completely engrossed at the moment as it sniffs
a flower apprehended by Dick van Duijn.
By sharing his beautiful wildlife photography, he gives us some insight. Van
Duijn was clearly in the right place at the right time, because that wasn't the
only adorable squirrel picture he took that day. The sweet scene looks like it
came straight out of a film! Several
more of his photographs depict the animals relaxing in the sunshine.
Van Duijn and a photographer buddy flew to Vienna to
capture these images, where they saw ground squirrels and flowers right before
sunset. The delightful actions along with the beautiful evening light have
contributed to the popularity of this composition. "I didn't anticipate
the images to become so popular all around the world." He tells the website.
Van Duijn has been photographing professionally for
eight years. He's photographed everything from portraits to sports to special
occasions with a Nikon camera. After experimenting with various forms of
photography, he discovered that his favorite subjects were nature and animals.
His foray into the field has paid off, and he's learned a lot about
photographing animals. It all comes down to interpreting the animal. “Sometimes
you can shoot the creatures up close" he continues. "Like the foxes,
I picture near my hometown,” They are accustomed to people and approach you
closely.” Other times, you'll have to be more devious. “The images of the birds
and red squirrels were taken from hidden hideouts in the woods. The animals
that appear in front of those hides are unable to see you and are barely a few
meters away.”
Photographer Dick van Duijn caught some of the cutest squirrel photos, which appear to show the small creatures sniffing flowers and frolicking in the woods.

His "sneaky" methodology catches these
little critters without their knowledge. In addition to squirrels, Van Duijn has perfected
the technique of shooting various cute creatures in nature.
