shirotae
I'm happy to be corrected, but I believe this is shirotae, a cultivar of Japanese flowering cherry or cherry blossom trees.
Found a couple of doors down from the house at which I've been semi-regularly cat-sitting since Christmas time.
Such a lovely sight to behold over the Easter weekend.

'Senatus Populus Que Brugensis' means 'the Senate and the people of Bruges'.
It can be found on the Bruges coat of arms and an ornate water pump featuring a swan in Bruges, as I found in 2014 during my time there.

I looked online, but I can't find which artist created this sculpture I photographed at the Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 in Zonnebeke in 2014.
I will look again, but if you know/can point me in the right direction, I'll be happy to credit them.

Here's the first collage from a series that came into my mind while I was completing cut out and keep; my 100 Days Project for 2020.
I'll explain my thinking behind the idea more as I go along because this particular one doesn't best illustrate my concept for sapphic studies.
But it's an opener to the series.

Le Sommeil (Sleep) by Gustave Courbet
hollyhocks
From Wikipedia: During the Victorian era, the hollyhock symbolised both ambition and fecundity in the language of flowers.

At first glance, this is a pretty simple photograph and perhaps a bit dull to most.
But there's so much in this photograph to make me laugh and so many layers to the scene.
And the splashes of bold primary colours thrown in adds to it.
I was going to use a phrase from one of the many signs in the image as a title, but there were too many to choose from, and I thought it was more fun to let you discover them yourself.
Bonus points to the signwriter/s for the spelling mistakes and inappropriate apostrophe use.
