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.

What you don’t see is that after that picture was taken, the cute little squirrel turned around and brutally attacked that lovely couple. When will Obama do something about this terrible Squirrel menace!! Its horrible!

If I hadn’t swallowed my coffee a 1/2 second earlier than I did you’d be buying me a new keyboard.

If you remove the squirrel from the photo, the composition of the picture does not look like a planned picture. The people are off-centered and distant. Not typical for a greeting card photo IMHO. They set the camera down on a rock. One of them looked through he lens, hit the auto button and scrambled to get into place; setting up a wonky looking, off centered vacation photo (we all have them). The little furry photo bomber popped up and got auto focused. Simple, really.

I would have shot the couple from a lower angel and perhaps a bit closer. But Rocky did a pretty good job. ;O)
