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.

I don’t know what the equivalent of “break-a-leg” is for a talented radio personality going on stage live, but you know we all wish you the very best!If said talented radio personality is going on stage live, "break a leg" is appropriate. If it's merely me going live in the studio, however, which is what I do every Monday night, I guess the appropriate salutation is, "Break a butt cheek," since I do my show in a sitting position and my humor is somewhat low-keyed. (Go ahead, call me a sit-down comedian if you must.)
I don't know if I'd consent to do the show on stage in front of an audience. For one thing, I'm not really a joke machine, and live audiences these days aren't exactly renowned for patience when they expect to hear comedy and begin shuddering or sweating or throwing projectile objects because they haven't gotten a machine-gun-fast barrage of jokes.
For another thing, I was very impressed with the truth therein when I read Goodman Ace quoted as saying, "A lot of times, on the air, I noticed comics in a sketch do a joke that destroys the character because it gets a big laugh." I'd rather have consistent humour than a pocketful of belly laughs, though if I do get a big belly laugh or three I'm not going to reject it entirely. (I've already rejected my big belly, however; I spent most of 2007 and 2008 losing a hundred pounds.)
By the way, if you'd like to hear some of what I've done already, here you go. If you can stand it.

Would not want to get Godzilla mad. Not all of us have a force field protecting themselves don’t you know.
No thread is complete without an Office Space reference.
I just had to post this for the fun of it.
Very small world indeed!
Politics aside (even if you don't know their political affiliation) you should tell them about this thread so they can see all funnies on here.
(LOL - the only thing I would have changed is the leprechaun hat - Scotty is Scottish - try a tartan cap!)
Heh heh - thanks. Good point there on Scotty - I flubbed that one!
No problem - just put a bottle of Saurian brandy in his hand and you’ll be good to go.
Hilarious yet disturbing at the same time.
I love the punk with the popped-collar. The 80s called, they want their fad back.
Those Jersey girls sure are brimming with class. ...and that heavy Jersey accent on that one foul-mouthed girl at the end, ICK!
