"There were a lot of curious squirrels, so it was hard not to photograph them," he said. "To capture one with a flower like this took a lot of patience and shots."
"The moment the squirrel smelled the flower and planted his face in the flower, I knew this was the picture of a lifetime!" Van Duijn said.
"I think people don't spend enough time in nature because of the lifestyle we have developed in the west," he said.
"Nature is endless, so the subjects for my pictures are endless as well," the photographer said. "You can never finish photographing all that there is to see."
"That provides me with inspiration for a lifetime."
"When people are reminded about how beautiful and cute nature can be, they'll feel better about themselves and the world around them."
