One day, Ludwig C. Timm was looking outside his bathroom window while a building project was underway at his home when he noticed something uncommon.

” At first, we just saw a couple of tiny twigs that were lying on the windowsill. We thought the wind had actually blown it there,” Timm informed The Dodo. “Then we saw the squirrels building.”

The family of squirrels selected a spot to build a nest and begin their family

This unique opportunity to witness the squirrels close presented Timm who was a photographer, so he decided to document everything for us to enjoy.

From building their nest, to growing up, Timm took the very best photos and posted them onto his Facebook page.

He kept a close eye on the squirrel family with everyday snapshots of their lives as they grew up.

Amongst all the adorable pictures, one truly stands out. The squirrels all cozied up together enjoying a nap.

” It was very lucky for me to be able to take the picture of the resting squirrels,” Timm claimed. “Typically they’re inside the nest, but it was hot that day, so they slept where I might see them.”

Now, although this scene seems basic enough, seeing it up close and individual such as this was certainly something to get excited about.

” It’s an extremely nice coincidence [that they chose that spot],” Timm said. “We got to see the squirrels grow up.”

What a gorgeous encounter! Thank you Ludwig for sharing!
