At School, Pink Snow and Pottery

I haven't had time to post this week so this is three posts in one! Firstly Jazz and Dixie had a great time at school on Thursday with their great pup pal Ingo. I wonder what happened in the last two photos as all the four dogs were looking away and in the next shot all of them were looking directly at the camera.
Although the simple 5 petal cherry blossoms are gone, the double and late flowering varieties continue to bloom and are only starting to lose their petals in the strong winds we have been having. I only had my mobile with me but I wanted to snap J and D sitting in the pink petal carpet.

Today was my pottery class's Ceramics Exhibition - the last one in a series that ran over ten years. I have been in my pottery class for about 4 years now but have never put any of my pieces in the exhibition as I din't think they were good enough. My sensei encouraged me to put in some pieces this year as it is the last exhibition.
