Some photos of other people's dogs from my trip to Oregon last month. Mostly my sister's dogs, Stella and Tana.
Definition
- [es-pree de less-ka/-iay] (idiom) A witty remark that occurs to you too late, literally on the way down the stairs. The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations defines esprit de l'escalier as, "An untranslatable phrase, the meaning of which is that one only thinks on one's way downstairs of the smart retort one might have made in the drawing room."

Swooning
I have been recovering from two back to back trips. The first was to Portland, to visit my sister who just moved there. We had a great time. The weather wasn't perfect, but every time we reached wherever we were going, it seemed to clear up. Take our trip to the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival. The sun came out, but the moody clouds stayed for our photos. Perfect. Sorry for the deluge of color, but I cannot help myself.
