Melissa Brandts and her husband were surprised to find a squirrel posing with them in a photo taken on holiday.
The couple had set the timer on their camera while posing at a lakeside in a national park in Canada.
Just as they were about to be captured on camera the cheeky squirrel popped up in the foreground and stole the show.
The picture was taken at the side of the stunning Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park, Canada.
Mrs Brandts said: "We had our camera set up on some rocks and were getting ready to take the picture when this curious little ground squirrel appeared, became intrigued with the sound of the focusing camera and popped right into our shot."
The picture was submitted to the website of America's National Geographic magazine.

In Canada/UK, holiday = vacation. I have a Canadian gal I work with right now and she says I am on “holiday” this week (I have taken a week of vacation time from work).

Big, as an amateur photographer, I agree. The photo would have been pretty good, but now its even better with Rocky in the pic!

I don’t think so. The camera is definitely focused on something in the foreground, and his whiskers are perfectly integrated into the scene around him.
