Vladimir Peskov III immigrated to the United States with his parents from Moscow on an Aeroflot Tupolev Tu-154 when he was just a fledgling, or so he was told by the Ohio orphanage who cared for him until a few months ago. He doesn’t remember his ma or pa and he prefers not to think about his past. He has three brothers and two sisters, and must work to earn their food. He performs traditional Russian dances like the Chort or the Koza and earns a few seeds, just enough to survive. Here he is performing a few days ago.
Skinny legs making sure his audience is paying attention.

Double checking.
His return.

Great minds always ready to take actions.Birds are always Focusing…!
🙂 Thanks.
So cute! I’d name him Karenin, because I finished today reading Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. It’s an amazing story and made me remember Moscow.
Thanks Aang. I’ve been reading Winter of the World and this is where I got the name. 🙂
A great sequence of shots. I really enjoyed that 🙂
Thank you. 🙂
Vladimir III… your stories and photos always brighten my day, Mr Snap.
Great shots. Vlad’s family back in Russia would be pleased.

I love your stories! Today I was a judge for a bunch of stories written by children, and their imagination was superb. One wrote a story about a piece of paper that would not go to sleep and be still so the writer could write on it. Another wrote about a turtle who on Opposite Day got a pair of rocket shoes in order to travel really fast. Yay for human imagination! I’m guessing you went through that line twice.
Yes I did. Thanks Ellen.

Thank you Mary.
Thanks for the insight into Vladimir’s life. By the way who named him Vladimir? His parents (whom he cannot remember), the orphanage (who were gracious enough to take him in) or…you?
His parents, or so the orphanage said.
Very entertaining! I could sit and watch him all day, too!!
He’s a watcher. 🙂
