In February we visited Louise, Tim, and Sam in Salt Lake City. We couldn't miss the chance to hit the slopes at Snowbird. | Timothy got a camera as an early birthday present, so we both went to the San Francisco zoo to get some practice in before our trip to Ecuador. | How much can a polar bear? | A little practice with night photography and longer exposure times. This shot of a carrousel at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. |
An even longer exposure time. | |||

With summer well in swing, San Francisco held its annual Carnaval, celebrating all things Latin. | Here the Bolivians get their thing on. | Everyone was having a good time... | |
...a real good time! | |||
June |

In June Jill visited. It was a foggy day in "Fog City", which lent a certain mystery to the statues outside the Legion of Honor museum. | Jill's the laugher; Rodan's the thinker. | Jill and Margaret modelling the Golden Gate Bridge. | The fog forming where the wind blows ashore. |
The Pride parade is colourful. | And... um... colourful. | Having a blue day. | Don't ask, don't tell. |
Viva la' liberte! | |||

In July, Kim's friend Chris visited. It was a beautiful day at Firsherman's Wharf... | ...and here at Coit Tower... | ...but foggy at the Golden Gate... | .. and Alcatraz. |
Sunset across the bay as we left Alcatraz... | ...its lighthouse beacon fading into the fog. | ||

October |

Dia de los muertos - the day of the dead!!!! | Otherwise known as All Souls Day. | San Franciscan's honour the Hispanic tradition of remembering their dearly departed. | Some carry candles. |
Others dress up as rabbits. | Either way, spooky stuff. | Even the kids get into it. | And of course, any excuse to dance like a lunatic. |
December |
|||
In December we returned to Salt Lake City to visit our friends Louise and Tim and their son Sam, the youngest man to go over Niagra Falls in a barrel, shown here before his history making trip. | We returned to Snowbird to enjoy some of Utah's famous ski slopes. | Meg dreaming of a white Christmas. | Tim enjoying the solitude of the green slopes. |
