Notes: Shots of coastal Maine on a partly cloudy day: a lighthouse, a rocky shore, waves breaking. A boat is seen traveling parallel to the shore, first in the distance, then nearing and passing the camera. Then, we see five adult and elder figures milling about a garden. Eventually, some more people join them, including a toddler. The party poses for the camera and the toddler, shirtless in overalls, begins toddling toward the camera in a roundabout way.
