Beyond the grasses, 2 children stand in the near distance at center. To the right of them, a large dog sits atop a small mound and looks towards the camera. A small wading pool is barely visible behind and to the right of the dog. In the distance at right, a 2-story home stands. It is viewed at an angle from the front and the side; it faces right.
