Another great banner, Jeboba. Such beautiful blooms.

Love the banner. No one has said yet what tree this is, or even offered an opinion or a guess, so I'll weigh in with my guess of some kind of cherry tree.🍒

This is Prunus serrulata 'Kanzan'
It's used all over Fairfax, don't know if it's common in other areas. It usually blooms late compared to all the other cherry blossoms
Thanks, @sedumzz
I went to the database page for it, Japanese Flowering Cherry (Prunus serrulata 'Kanzan'), and found lots more photos of it to gladden the eye. Although Michigan is a big producer of cherries as a food crop, ornamental cherry trees, while not rare, are not especially abundant where I live. You have to know where to look in order to see them in bloom in the spring.
