“Melissa Brandts and her husband stopped to take a photo using their camera’s self-timer while vacationing in Canada. Intrigued by the sounds of the camera, a curious ground squirrel came over to check things out and popped into the frame right at the perfect moment”

I think a
sums it up nicely. 
for good measure.
Love that pic and I love squirrels!
And this reminds me on our camwhore Mozart.^^
thats what I thought too when I first saw it!! Its exactly the type of thing Mozart would do.. and has done many times
There’s actually a website that’ll put that squirrel on any of your pics:

Oh.. well then… lol. I guess it was faked!
I’m sure it COULD happen though, which would be cute.. I’m kind of disappointed now actually 
NO ITS NOT FAKE! Look at the hairs.
It might not be faked…you never know??
It also could be possible that the squirrel site was created AFTER this picture started getting so much attention online.. hmm well for now I’m going to consider it a “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” philosophical query.. lol
Well, the sitename was taken June 18th 2008. So before the shot was made public at August 4 this year.
But there are so many stories about that on the web and you can also see it clearly on the hairs, this is not a fake picture or was at least not made with the squirrel on this site.

When people are taking a pic in public, I love to saunter into the background and pose with a big goofy smile. This little guy has some balls though, to get into the foreground.
Nice scenery, where is that Alberta? I love our beautiful country. As you can probably tell I am an outdoors man. I bet there is a lot of fish in that lake.

Sammy Squirrel was pissed when he got home and discovered two humans had pic-jacked his great self-portrait shot!!
i just want to rub his little furry belly and around his bottom and up his tail and squeeze his little nose and kiss him and love him forever.
