I’ve Spent A Couple Of Years Photographing Squirrels And Their Different Emotions (70 New Pics)

by Patrick Penrose Published Nov 14, 2025

I have been photographing squirrels for a couple of years now and this last crazy year, it has probably been the one thing keeping me sane.

My goal is to find new ways to get pictures that are fresh to me and pictures that capture a feeling. I have no idea if the squirrels have a lot of emotions, except hunger, fear, and sleep, but I would like to think they do. And I always look for pictures that seem to express those feelings.

I usually don’t add any manmade objects to my pictures, with the exception of the heart I carved out of an apple. If you are curious about how I took that one, I have added a YouTube link to a clip about how I did it. It wasn’t Photoshop, just crazy luck.

Obviously, that isn’t the only lucky shot here, but these are 70 lucky shots out of the literally millions of pictures I have taken.
