It was a gloomy Chicago day with a light rain falling. Suddenly, this woman spotted the statue, and a big grin came across her face. She handed her umbrella to her friend, walked over, and kicked up into a handstand. It was such an unexpected and joyful moment that it put a smile on my face, too.
And she wasn't exactly a young woman. She had gray hair, and I would have guessed she was in her fifties. When I showed the photo to my wife, she laughed and said, “I’ll bet she’s a yoga instructor.”
I have no idea whether she was or not, but after seeing that handstand, I'm not going to bet against it.

I love this! What a find... Congratulations, markwiley! You really have a great eye for spotting these moments. Kinda reminds me of jagar’s eye for street photography. You have that natural instinct for seeing a photograph where others might simply walk past <3
Anything you can do I can do better, he said as he went ahead being his goofy self. Most onlookers were more concerned with how not to take their second shower of the day and paid no attention at all.
Be yourself.
