Why does the image go upside down when we go towards or away from the convex lens?

Hi. A concave lens will flip the image after you reach the focal point but a convex lens will not, in the case of mirrors. Any lens will flip the image after you pass the focal point because the rays cross at that point.

This one is hard to explain in words. The previous poster did as good a job as you can.

Draw the rays to see for yourself.
