Strolling along an August 2022 embankment at Dubna, Russia, looking at the Volgo-Don 5061 on the river Volga, largest in Europe, fifth largest in Russia, a kind of river ship or self-propelled barge.
And here are some views of the embankment, from which it was spotted.
For still life study today, here is a bottle of wine and glass in a late August garden.
Late summer time is sunflower time in our climate.
So the bad news is the summer is over and has been so for four days at least at time of this writing.
However the good news is it's only the calendar summer that is over, the astronomical summer goes on until September 22.
Also good news is this year I grew some sunflowers at my summer (late spring and early autumn too) country retreat.
They also do attract some insect life like bees and some fat bumble-bees too, and they have a lot to do sucking out nectar from those things whatever they are.
Here is another moon zoom.
