Woman Takes Adorable Themed Photos With The Squirrels In Her Backyard

<div><p>If you thought taking a nice photo of your children was hard, imagine getting a pair of rodents to say "cheese" at just the right moment.</p><p>That's the challenge Ashly Deskins faces when she takes her cute photos of squirrels enjoying the miniature furniture she makes for them.</p><p>Deskins says she didn't pay much attention to the squirrels in her backyard before a group of babies fell out of a tree. From that day on she looked after the nearby squirrels, keeping an eye on them and leaving out almonds for them to enjoy. Then, her passion for photography took over.</p><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>She started making tiny, squirrel sized furniture for them to use, leaving almonds in just the right spot so she could capture the perfect shot. </p><p>It's a very slow process. Sometimes Deskin waits hours for the squirrels to use her sets, and it can take even longer to get a good photo. Plus, they're very picky models. They only like certain kinds of furniture, so she uses fake hardwood as much as possible.</p><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-1.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-1_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-1_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-1_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-1_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-1_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-2.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-2_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-2_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-2_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-2_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-2_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-3.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-3_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-3_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-3_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-3_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-3_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-4.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-4_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-4_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-4_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-4_GH_content_850px.jpg 850w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/02/2260984712-3-4_GH_content_950px.jpg 950w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><p>After working with them for so long, Deskin has learned to recognize all of the squirrels who come to visit her, and given them names.
