A black and white photograph featuring a woman wearing a bathing suit siting on wet sand. Her leg is folded behind her and she is bending forward, with only her torso and lower half in the frame, beneath her foot the trailing water from a wave has left a shallow arc in the wet sand. Her foot appears slightly anchored in wet sand.

A color photograph of a fruit bearing pear tree covering most of the picture frame. Small portions of the sky are visible in the top portion of the photograph. To the right portion are dark storm clouds coming in, while between the leaves the left portion of the sky is covered in light and white clouds. Tree branches are hanging low full of ripe pears, while the grassy ground near the tree has many fallen ripened pears. The tree trunk has a simple joist barrier around it. In the grassy field some other trees are visible in the distance.
