From the Christmas - New Year period of 1997, Peter and Lucy have produced an annual collage of photographs that best represents their activities during the previous year. Many of these photographs have outdoor settings, in particular, mountain scenery. This is to be expected as most of our time in the USA has been spent climbing or hiking the numerous peaks of the Oregon/Washington Cascades and the Californian Sierra Nevada.
2011

An interesting year in the mountains that included the wedding of Bill and Heidi near Yosemite National Park.

Peter spent time in New Zealand, hiking in the rain and attending an Air Force Reunion. Also travelled to West Australia to be with grandkids and old friends at Goode Beach.

A year of visits, marriages and a final summer of travel for The Rickster, who died in December at the grand old age of 19.

Mal and Merle Hill visited from their home in Australia for the months of June and July. Annette Tremayne travelled from New Zealand to spend time at our Reno home and attend Jordan and Simone's marriage celebration at Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood in Oregon
2008

A year of big changes: Peter and Lucy sell their beach property in Western Australia and return to the USA on a permanent basis. We now reside in the Nevada mountains between Reno and lake Tahoe.

In late July, family and friends gather in New Zealand to celebrate the life of David, Peter's only sibling.

On 5 November we realize it's not only Guy Fawkes night, but alas ... it's the end of the world as we know it!
