Doing a handstand was always fun.

 




Albert Tucker. Joy Hester Doing a Handstand, c. 1940. 

 (This image took my breath away. Young girls/women doing handstands. Summer light. A field. Carefree. Youth. When you get old, you will miss these simple things the most. These treasures of idleness. Your body free of physical constraints, flexible. You will long to do a handstand. Such a simple beautiful thing.)

The image is Joy Hester, an Australian artist. You can read some about her life here.
