Every year I capture an Easter squirrel photo series. Always with new scenes and props. This time the big difference is that there is still 1-meter snow laying in the end of March here in the middle of Sweden. More than five white months and the spring is sleeping still.
It is clear that these wonderful animals are looking forward to the spring with fresh new food and hiding their food in the fresh earth instead of hiding it in the cold snow.
The squirrels look a little bit like Easter bunnies, with their long ears and big feet. Squinnies would be a nice name.
I captured many more photos which can be seen in the video together with squirrel movie scenes.

These are even better than the Olympics pictures! How many failed pictures do you take for every one that you publish? It seems you must spend hours watching for the right moment.
Thank you. Daily I capture about 300 photos and edit maybe 4 or 6 and the half I throw away.

I hate to sound like a buzzkill but I hope you used non toxic colouring for the eggs. I noticed in the video that the squirrels were licking & chewing on the eggs. And just for curiosity, were they real eggs hard boiled or props?
They could not eat the eggs. They where colored hard plastic and I drilled a hole and filled it with seeds :)

:) The knife is made from paper. It does not much with the eggs, but I like the idea :)
