Musical accompaniment: Sisyphus by Lemonflower.

In 1913, Edward Steichen captured this sweet moment in a little grove by the sea.

He named it Mary Learns to Walk. It’s one of those moments of vast importance to a family but no great significance to the world.

I think the child in the photograph was Steichen’s own daughter and only child Mary.  If so, either the year on the picture is incorrect (1913) or the birth date on Mary’s biography (July 1, 1904)  is wrong.

It makes you think. For someone somewhere, it’s a day of vast importance. Maybe the most important day of their life, or a day they’ll always remember.

And, I hope, a wonderful day in your life!
