This week our theme is “Peek.” Ideas come to mind: Taking a Peek (leave that K on there please); a peek into…; peek through, sneek-peek, etc.
You can explore the homonyms peak and pique as well.
Peeking Birds and Critters
I have enjoyed feeding the birds this winter and found several great peek snaps from our feathered friends.

I got a surprise peek at this mama dove last summer when I visited my former in-laws’ home. My FIL asked me to snap a photo with my phone. Lo and behold, two baby chicks peeked at us once we enlarged the image!
Shy, swift swallows flit by my head but peek curiously and safely from their nests.
This cute fawn thought he could peek at us from behind his tail!
This adorable Chesapeake Bay Retriever pup peeks sleepily from under my chair!
Sun and Sky Peeks
In the Inland Northwest, our weather is warm and springlike one day and stormy the next.

Can I Peak Your Interest?
“All of life is peaks and valleys. Don’t let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low.” ~ John Wooden
Other images demonstrate actual “peaks…”
Last Sunday’s post was filled with students’ peak experiences on the challenge course.
A Past and Future Peek?
Winter was tough on our outdoor plants. What are the odds of last spring’s hydrangea looking like its peak of glory this spring?

Travel Reminder
Today marks the first day of our road trip as we drive to San Diego via Idaho and Utah. We are staying in dog-friendly hotels along the way. While on the road and for the duration of our trip, I will read and comment on your posts from my phone (thank you, Jetpack App).
