I had photographed this sculpture during the 2021 Cherry Blossom Festival, when, due to the pandemic, rather than go see the real cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin, people were asked instead to tour the city to see 26 cherry blossom sculptures decorated by local artists installed around the city http://pbase.com/helenpb/helenpbroot_cherry_blossoms
Some of the sculptures were auctioned off after the festival, and we had seen this one before in a neighbor's front garden. The sign, however, is a new addition.
