Squirrel Crasher!



And this is how it all started!!

The couple in this photo, Melissa and Jackson Brandts of Minnesota, were visiting Banff National Park and decided to set their camera up on a rock. They set the camera's timer, got into position with the beautiful lake and mountains in the background, and then.....it happened. A rather inquisitive ground squirrel popped up to check out the 'buzzing' sound that the camera timer was making, and...'click', he became the main subject of the photo. This photo was chosen 'photo of the month' by nationalgeographic.com ....but the best part? It has gone viral on the internet all over the world, with people photo-shopping 'Squirrel Crasher' into every scene imaginable.
