Geert Weggen is an internationally awarded nature photographer who is very fond of the tiny adventures Mother Nature’s delightful critters go on everyday. For about six years, the Swedish-Dutch national followed red squirrels and tiny birds, and captured many of their curious moments in their minuscule world. Becoming a full-time photographer in 2013, he focused his art on covering the funny, oddly beautiful, and interestingly amusing world of red squirrels. Many of his photographs look a lot like something one would see from a Chip and Dale cartoon; comical and cartoonish moments forever frozen in time. From scurries looking for berries, to kits sniffing flowers, and adorable little mushroom thieves, Weggen’s album will sure put a smile on your face.
The wind was just perfect for capturing this photo. Published in National Geographic, it won Photo of the Day!
