Now, what is Karen doing to Lisa's bum
with the hiking pole ???

Look at the smirk on Lisa's face.
Is this her way of saying she likes what
Karen had done with the hiking pole ???
And now she is returning the favour  :-)

Jingda Chen's day in the Australian bush
(Evans Crown)

1)  What is Jingda trying to do ?
     Move the boulder ?

Photographer: Stanley

2)  Jingda is definitely trying to
     kick down this balancing rock.

Photographer: Lora

3)  Probably nothing malicious here ...
     Jingda is merely posing.

Photographer: Stanley

4)  Jingda is being helpful.
- She is holding up the boulder
  for us to pass through.
- Thank you Jingda !

5)  But now ...
     Jingda wants to topple this balancing rock.
     (Different from the one in photo #2).

6)  Not successful in her previous attempt,
     so Jingda tries a novel way to topple the rock.

Photographer: David

After the trip,
someone said Jingda was facing the wrong way.
Some people are so picky  😭


7)  So I digitally rotated Jingda just to satisfy him.

Photographer: David

8)  But now ...
     Jingda is being kicked down the rock platform
     😊

9)  Happy to report, Jingda survived the fall 😊

The GPS trace of my hike for the past hour.
Maybe I'm lost.

If at first you don't succeed, blame the GPS.
If you are still walking at night, blame the GPS.
