Description
Three individuals are working outdoors on a sunny day, standing along a narrow concrete sidewalk bordered by tall grass and yellow wildflowers. One person on the left is using a tool to cut vegetation, while the person in the center is shirtless and standing with arms crossed. The person on the right is wearing gloves and holding garden tools. A cardboard box containing supplies sits on the sidewalk in front of them. A large leafy tree provides partial shade over the scene, and utility poles and additional vegetation are visible in the background.
