Melissa Brandts wasn't trying to take a photo of this ground squirrel at Banff National Park.  She'd set up the camera's timer so that she'd have a nice picture of herself and her husband, with spectacular Lake Minnewanka in the background.

She hadn't counted on this ground squirrel hogging the foreground.
