When we last saw Russian nature photographer Vadim Trunov, he was looking at the macro world of bugs and snails (see HERE).  His latest series sees him in close encounters with squirrels doing the strangest things! Vadim recently published some of the photos he’s captured of squirrels that seem to be building snowmen, taking photos of each other, and playing volleyball with nuts.

According to Vadim the truth is a bit different, however: “it’s winter, these squirrels are hungry, and they want food! In fact, the ones with the pine cone and the nut are fighting over the winter food, which I left in a clearing so I could photograph them!”

Trunov takes wonderful wildlife photos whether it’s winter or summer – check out his macro nature photography as well!
