Landscaping

Landscaping ...
... has been delegated to the community landscaper,
leaving us with a single option ... to observe.
That's what we are good at: observing, capturing.
Not as in "take captive" (look at Post Scriptum), though:
we left them there for you to enjoy

Wild life around him

An average social media participant has over 400 “friends”, according to
glamour photographer Sue Bryce.
We miserably failed to grasp the benefits of catering our thoughts to the
taste of the circle that wide.
BTW, optimal size of a group “destined” for consensus is 5
(Hare, “A Study of Interaction and Consensus in Different Sized Groups”, 1952).

However, this is all about one. Just one friend. Very dear one.
The one,
- who bestows upon you in the midst of calendar nowhere,
for a "just because" reason;
- who's study literary wallpapered with Inventor's Certificates;
- who is a dentist, an artist, a musician, a ceramist, a goldsmith... and,
of course, a photographer;
- who has the best Nikon gear, second to, maybe, Joe McNally, and still can
shoot still with a cell phone;
- who self-portraits in the reflection on the tip of a pen.

The one, who is worth more than hundreds "likes" on any social media.
Please, welcome Vadim and the "Wild Life Around Him".
