Life is full of strange and random happenings. It’s solace to remember that when you’re sure everything will fail or play out just as your fears suspected. Amidst all of our negativity and worry, life randomly happens, throwing you for a loop.

Melissa Brandts and her husband were exploring in the Banff National Park in Canada when they stopped to take a shot using the timer on their camera.

They had their camera set up on some rocks when a curious ground squirrel appeared, intrigued by the noise from the focusing mechanism centered himself right in the picture frame.

Melissa called it a once in a lifetime moment, “We were laughing about this little guy for days!!”

So the next time you are sure something will play out in the same old predictable path, remember:

Squirrels happen.
