Behind the child, a woman in a white blouse and floral skirt stands holding an object, looking off to the side, while a man in a striped vest and hat is partially visible in the background. The room is warmly lit, suggesting a late afternoon or evening setting.

A group of people, including children and adults, are gathered on a sandy beach on a sunny day. The children, wearing colorful swimsuits, are in the foreground, some walking towards the camera, while the adults stand or sit in the background, observing. A row of white folding chairs is arranged on the right, and the blue sky and ocean are visible in the distance. Everyone appears to be enjoying a beachside event or activity.

A sandy beach with scattered rocks and boulders leading to the ocean, with four people walking near the water's edge.

A young child in a pink swimsuit is smiling and reaching out towards an adult's outstretched hand by the edge of a swimming pool, with clear blue water surrounding her.

An elderly man with gray hair stands shirtless on a beach, holding a small globe in his hands close to his chest. The sky is blue with scattered clouds in the background.

A group of people enjoying a sunny day at the beach, with one woman sitting on a beach chair laughing and holding a red cup, another woman bending over to talk to a man lying on a towel, and various beach items scattered around, including a cooler and an orange. The ocean and other beachgoers are visible in the background.
