DescriptionStretched. Image of a ukelele and pot of lilacs on a checkered table of a balcony overlooking Central Park (?) in New York. The ukelele is in a rich dark brown, contrasting the vivid purple and pink lilacs surrounded by green leaves in a yellow pot. Both items, the main focal points of the image, sit on top of a blue checkered tablecloth. In the bottom right, an ornate balcony railing precedes a scenic view of treetops and a double steeple church in the background.
