While a building project was going on at his house, Ludwig C. Timm once
spotted something odd while looking out of his bathroom window.
"At first, we didn't pay much attention to the few tiny twigs that were on
the ledge. Timm told The Dodo, "We believed the wind had carried it there.
"Then we noticed the squirrels constructing."
The squirrel family chose a location to create a nest and raise their
young.
Timm, a photographer, chose to capture it all for us to enjoy because it
was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the squirrels up close.
Timm captured the greatest images of the process, from nest-building to
child development, and posted them to his Facebook page.
He took daily pictures of the squirrel family's life as they grew up,
keeping a careful check on them.
One of the cute pictures definitely sticks out among the others. The
squirrels snuggled up together and fell asleep.
Timm says, "I was incredibly fortunate to be able to shoot the image of the
sleeping squirrels. The birds usually sleep inside the nest, but because it
was so hot that day, they chose to sleep outside.
Seeing this situation up close and personal was very exciting, despite the
fact that it seemed simple enough.
Timm remarked, "It's a pretty nice coincidence [that they chose that
area]." "We witnessed the squirrels' development."
