A cheeky squirrel in Alberta’s Banff National Park has gone viral after stealing the spotlight in a tourist’s photo…

The photo below was borrowed from CBCNews.ca

I was enjoying my breakfast this lovely Friday morning while watching the Today Show before work, and busted out laughing when the above photo was flashed on my TV screen! Hilarious!! I can’t get over how funny the squirrel’s body language is – followed by the laughing tourists in the background!  The tourists posted this photo to the National Geographic website, which helped spread the word of this amazing photo!!!

I also Tweeted about this first thing this morning…http://twitter.com/LaurenRatliff/status/3307745889

Below is a snippet from the news article I pulled the photo from:

Melissa Brandts, who was visiting from Minnesota, had set up her camera on a tripod to capture her and her husband, Jackson, in front of picturesque Lake Minnewanka in May.
The ground squirrel became the focus of the picture as the couple faded into the background.
Jackson Brandts took a few more shots using a remote-control shutter.
“A once in a lifetime moment! We were laughing about this little guy for days!” wrote his wife.
“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!” she wrote.

Happy Friday. Enjoy.
