In my original post Wordless Wednesday: What Are These Big Birds Doing Here? I asked if anyone had a better caption for the above picture to let me know. I got some comments but in those comments some of you told me you tried to come up with a caption but couldn’t. I appreciate those people tried. However, sadly only 2 of you sent me captions. They were great captions in fact. So much so I can’t decide a winner. So what am I going to do? I’m going to leave it up to my wonderful readers. Below is a poll with three captions. What I want you to do is vote for your favorite caption. I won’t be hurt or upset if my caption isn’t chosen. So choose your favorite caption.

Today is day 7 of my blogging course Branding And Growth: Visit The Neighbors.
TODAY’S TASK
I am to visit 3 new blogs and leave an encouraging comment on each one to get them to visit my blogs. I’m to find new blogs through the Discover and Recommendation buttons/links.
While I was thinking about what to do for Sparks I had a thought and that thought was why don’t you do something with the meaning of encouragement. Of course I tried and tried to come up with something else but all I could think of was wanting Spring to get here and the sunshine and the pretty flowers to stay for a while. Then I said to myself, flowers that’s it I’ll do it on flowers. So I looked up on the internet to see what flowers are associated with encouragement and friendship and this is what I found. I have included their meanings as well.
ENCOURAGEMENT AND FRIENDSHIP FLOWERS AND THEIR MEANINGS:

On January 21, 2018, I asked you to caption my squirrel picture which is above. I want to thank everyone who sent me captions for the above picture. The captions were so good I had a hard time choosing. I finally decided on the caption that kittiesblue from The Cat On My Head. You’ll see the winning caption above. Congratulations.
