Every day these wild red squirrels are being challenged to find there food. For 5 years, I have placed props in scenes with food in my garden. Every day I wait for them to capture them for my camera. I started with this series with the first snow in October. Sometimes I never get the shot I am looking for. It is most of the time a challenge maybe that is why I still shoot squirrel photos. They never bore me, besides that, they have become my close little friends.

This is glorious and epic! I wonder how long did it take to get them to trust you?
Thank you. Some squirrel still avoid me after a year, and some trust me almost immediatly.
Bravo! But we still gonna test the champions' urine, plz... haha
Ha ha That would have been a nice theme for a photo
This is a great idea. I know photographers often take pictures of animals in the wild, but don't you owe them royalties if you make them pose?
Thank you. Yes I do owe them. They want to be paid with nuts and seeds.
That clears that matter up. Also, I noticed that they're all nudes. While tastefully done, I am wondering if you get any complaints from parents of young squirrels (especially American or Middle Eastern squirrels) when you post them on a public forum?
They took alot of hormones before the games. The complains from the parents where not that much, because the hormones stimulated the hair growth so the nudity was acceptable
