VIENNA, Austria (WSVN) — A photographer has gone viral for his up close and personal images of a ground squirrel and a daisy.
Photographer Dick van Duijn posted photos to his Instagram account showing a squirrel stopping to smell a flower.
Duijn originally posted the photo at the end of July. However, they recently went viral after they made an appearance in several news articles.
Duijn told SNWS that the squirrel smelled the daisy shortly before taking a bite out of the flower.
“This curious ground squirrel started smelling and tasting the flower,” Duijn said. “I was really happy after capturing a photo like this.”
“I went to Austria especially to photograph the ground squirrels,” he added. “It was great to witness this and very satisfying.”
