Two people lie in water and float face-up with their eyes closed. The background is blurry, but some trees can be seen at the water line. The two people have light tan skin and short hair. They are topless and wearing shorts.
Two people sit out on the porch of a sky-blue house, looking at each other. The person on the right is young, with light tan skin and dark black hair. They are wearing a light gray t-shirt, and are sitting on the ground with their back to the camera, looking up at the person on the left. The person on the left is older, with light tan skin and dark gray hair. They are sitting in a rocking chair, looking down towards the person on the left and speaking to them. They are wearing white pants and no shirt, and are toying with a light orange circular object which could be a ball or some kind of fruit.
