The Crasher Squirrel

Have you heard of the Crasher Squirrel??

A couple from Minnesota had set up their camera on a tripod so they could take a picture of themselves in front of Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park. This curious squirrel apparently became intrigued by the sounds of the focussing camera and came over to check it out. He popped up in front of the camera just in time to become the star attraction in the picture…

As you can see, the couple sort of faded into the background.

The couple submitted the photo to a National Geographic contest. The magazine posted it to an online gallery on August 7th, and in less than week, the Crasher Squirrel was been popping up all over the Internet. He’s hung out with the Star Trek crew:

So as you can see, Crasher Squirrel has made quite the name for himself. If you have PhotoShop and know how to use it, why not play around with Crasher Squirrel and see where you can take him…

Have a squirrely day!!

I saw crasher squirrel on the National Geographic site a couple of days ago! Hahaha! I like the places you have caught it popping up!

I doubt there is not one person who hasn't seen all these photos and more before this blog. It is all over the TV, internet etc. Wasted time.

Well, apparently I live in a cave Love it, because I hadn't seen this before. I think he's adorable Kelly and this was a fun post. I don't think crasher squirrel would like a trip to my office though, do you? Kathy

How about this: a picture of my golden retriever barking at the TV while the original picture is up on the screen. Baxter was going nuts while the couple was on The Today Show about a week ago!
