Mrs. Sallie Rhea was invited to participate in the 4th Annual 2-Fly Fishing Tournament as a guide for one of the wounded soldier-fishermen. She purchased what she hoped would be an appropriate chapeau.
Her warrior-fisherman did beautifully on the stream and ultimately took home one of the awards.
More about the Project Healing Waters organization, sponsors of the 2-Fly tournament, can be seen here. My own picture of the warriors and their guides is on my other blog,
The challenge for 4x4 Friday is Hat-itude. My background is actually a photo of the Rose River. Mrs. Sallie Rhea is one of my ancestors. I doubt she ever caught a trout, especially on a fly.
Oh your "fishing" hat is so much more sophisicated than mine :) Lovely creation, Faye!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant! Mrs Rhea looks as though she could catch a mean fish.
