ADORABLE SQUIRREL TRIES HER HAND AT PHOTOGRAPHY

A curious red squirrel takes a break from collecting nuts and tries her hand at photography. Climbing up a tiny set of makeshift stairs, the bushy-tailed rodent carefully inspects a camera before observing the colourful autumnal view. Behind a different camera, 48-year-old photographer Geert Weggen captured the scene in his garden in Bispgarden, Sweden. Geert says: "Seeing the little squirrel behind the camera was really amusing."
