Description
The footage opens to a bright suburban neighborhood. A young boy is seen embracing his mother before he runs through automn leaves to catch the school bus at the end of the drive; he is pictured waving back at the camera before departing. The following scene features a close up of a newborn in a well lit interior. The camera switches to a medium shot that captures baby Leah being embraced by her mother and grandmother. Once again outside, the camera depicts a serene neighborhood where the children are portrayed running and playing. The footage suffers a slight sprocket damage that creates a transition delay when switching to the final scene on Hamilton Farm, where the children can be seen riding ponies around throughout a sunny pasture.
