Welcome to Permie Peeks!

Several years ago, I woke up to an incredibly loud pounding noise. I couldn't imagine what it was. It went on for a bit, then stopped, then started again. I went over to the window and looked out, but didn't see anything. Then the noise got closer! As if it was right under my window! I looked out again, but still didn't see anything. Finally, I stuck my head out of the window and saw someone breaking up the concrete by the curb. The sidewalk there had recently been redone, so I wondered what was going on. Of course, I immediately thought the worst— that my apartment building's oil tank had busted again and they needed to get to it.

A little later, as I was leaving for work, I saw my building’s super in the lobby and asked if he knew anything. He said that he had requested some trees to be planted and the city had come to break the ground for the tree pits! Well let me tell you that gave a wonderful lift to my day. When I came home that evening, two new little trees had been planted in front of my building. Now, whenever I go out, I see them and they make me smile.

And that's what this blog is about.

Whether on its own or through deliberate intervention, nature pokes it's head out in the most unexpected and delightful ways.  It's all right there in front of us if we only take a moment to appreciate it.

I plan to do just that, recording what I see with my trusty camera.

Come join me! It should be fun!
