Photographer Manages To Capture Rare Shots Of Curious Squirrel Peacefully Smelling A Flower

We’re so lucky to be able to live on such a beautiful planet like earth, mother nature is spectacular in every single way and she never fails to surprise us in the most unpredictable ways. Observing animals interact with each other and their environment all day could keep you entertained for an endless amount of time without ever getting bored, everything is so unpredictable and each time you could spot something that only a few people were lucky enough to witness in their lifetime.

One of these moments can sometimes be something as simple as a curious squirrel peacefully smelling a flower, it’s definitely not something squirrels are famous for, so it’s surely a rare moment that 34-year-old Dutch photographer, Dick van Duijin, gifted to us by being in the right place at the right time.

The Dutch photographer spotted the curious squirrel while on a flower field near Vienna Austria, the little guy was trying to figure out which flower would taste the best. The photographer managed to successfully capture the adorable snap after nearly two hours and almost 200 shots. But it was certainly worth it at the end because the moment he captured is truly magical and adorable.
