Story from Jam Press (Squirrel Flower)
Pictured: A video grab of the squirrel with the bucket of food placed by Geert Weggen.
PICTURES: Saucy squirrel's blushes saved as blooming flowers cover its nuts
A hilarious set of photos show a squirrel’s blushes being saved with flowers covering up the animal’s privates.
In several snaps, a sole rodent stands among the blossoms and appears to be unaware of its perfect pose.
The animal’s indecency is hidden behind colourful petals, making for much more appropriate snaps.
Geert Weggen, 55, took the photos of the squirrels in his back garden.
The photographer gets many wild visitors behind his house.
Placing some buckets of food above the flowers, Geert was able to take his magnificent pictures.
In addition to the saucy snaps, the set includes images of squirrels climbing the stems and balancing on petals to reach the snacks.
The stretched out position exposes everything for the camera – but their nuts are thankfully blocked from view.
“In my garden I create scenes with flowers and hang food in the air or I adapt it on flowers and wait for animals to come,” Gert, from Bispgården, Sweden, told What’s The Jam.
“I live next to the forest and the animals visit me daily.
“I love flowers and red squirrels, It makes me happy seeing these two together.
“Although around 10 squirrels visit me, only a few are very good at interacting and posing for the camera.
“I have a garden with an enormous amount of wild flowers and some cultivated flowers that I use for these scenes.
“Because flowers normally do not hold the weight of squirrels I use fish a line to keep the flowers up.
“I hang small buckets in the air so that they have to climb in the flowers to get to the food.”
