Geert Weggen Makes A Living Taking Photos Of Squirrels In His Garden

Squirrels are the fuzziest of nature’s creations. And taking their photos is Geert Weggen’s great desire. The squirrels seem to be having a great time, too, exploring their surroundings and doing squirrelly things such as flying in an umbrella or cutting a log. These little brown critters are an excellent alternative for a photographer who finds himself abruptly lacking cats!

“Some years ago I began to take photos from my kitchen window of mostly wild red squirrels and do that still,” Geert Weggen wrote on Bored Panda. “Normally, I get bored after doing something for a few years, but not with this. I still watch these lovely animals almost every day and make photos.”

Weggen says that his photographs are all real – Photoshop is used only to remove wires and food.
