That title should have got you curious. I managed to catch this little kid mid-jump when she was offered a $5.00 note by a busker on a unicycle today.

I was wandering around Sydney on a very warm day (sorry to those of you in the northern hemisphere) taking pictures with my new Pentax K7 - lovely camera.

Oh dear! Poor kiddo... a kangaroo couldn't have made that jump. And yet she tried anyway

Cool capture with great timing. I hope after her big but too short a jump he gave her the $5.
