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.
