In my art appreciation, here is today's spotlight and it's on Richard Baker the painter who was called to my attention today for the first time.

A "light tunnel" or some such winter decoration at night in Moscow in March 2023.
Just a Negroni earlier this week, to accompany a late lunch here in Moscow

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.
