It was supposed to be an isolated beauty spot in the Canadian lakes - but a
stranger still managed to creep into the shot.

laugh as the squirrel jumps into the shot

The cheeky squirrel jumped into Melissa Brandts and her husband's picture
when they had set the timer on their camera.

Mrs Brandts explained: 'We had our camera set up on some rocks and were
getting ready when this curious little ground squirrel appeared, became
intrigued with the sound of the focusing camera and popped right into our
shot.

Of the photo in Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park she added: 'It was a
once in a lifetime moment – we were laughing about this little guy for
days!'
