Squirrel Guest Stars in Holiday Photo

A couple vacationing beside a Canadian lake, set up their camera for an auto-photo, when a curious squirrel popped his head into the frame — making himself the star of the photo!

The squirrel joined Melissa Brandts’ snapshot at Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park, Canada

The couple, who were exploring Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park, Canada, had stopped to take a timed picture of themselves by its picturesque shoreline.

Melissa Brandts explained: My husband and I were exploring Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park, Canada, when we stopped for a timed picture of the two of us. 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! A once in a lifetime moment! We were laughing about this little guy for days!
