Triangle, Va. (April 28, 2019) – The Marine Corps Heritage Foundations 38TH Annual Awards Ceremony holds their annual awards dinner. Photo by Johnny Bivera
On our way up on Sunday we had stopped at Wolferton Triangle, hoping to spot the Golden Pheasant.
I had seen one on my very first trip there but knew that was a fluke.
The Triangle is literally a section of woodland with many rhododrendon bushes with roads on three sides, I would think to drive all three sides can't be much more than a mile. It's a tiny area, yet in there the Golden Pheasants live and breed.
So - the first day was unproductive, even though we went around the Triangle about five times, slowly, looking left and right.
No luck, so on our second day, as we drove from our Kite sighting, we again drove through Wolferton and decided to stop and have some soup, after getting very chilled Kite-watching.
I took this photo, just to see how it would look through the windscreen, if the Pheasant suddenly wandered onto the verge, which is where they are usually seen.
We got out the cups and the flask, and I pulled down my windscreen visor with integral mirror so I could look behind me. I joked that it would be funny to see it behind us...Polly told me that was exactly how she had got one of her sightings in the past...
...so there we were, cups, flask and spoons already mixing scalding hot water into powdered soup and Polly yelped - and there it was! Behind us, shining with a helmet of gold and all we could do was watch it in our mirrors!
Suddenly a car approached and it disappeared. Unbelievable! And so funny - I'm surprised we didn't end up covered in soup!
So, we sat, sipping and marvelling at our luck, and I happened to glance into the undergrowth just by the car to see the Pheasant nonchalantly disappearing under a rhododendron!
So frustrating - and this photo could so easily have been complete with Golden Pheasant.
Instead, it is a candidate for Most Boring Photo on flickr. LOL
You just gotta love birding! :))

This is super silly but, having multiple computer issues tonight and after I thought I had downloaded today's pictures onto my new computer I of course deleted the photos off of my camera just to find they did not transfer properly at all.....oh no, and to top it off I've just seen that SonyaCarlson has done practically the exact same photo,...well glad I didn't upload the B&W! Jeeesh! This was waaaayyy desperate!

I created a simple quilted project this week for the Triangle Challenge for Project Quilting, but I challenged myself by using t-shirt knits and I tried my hand at "Big Stitch Hand Quilting".
This was the last challenge of Season Five.
- 4 small triangles inside a big blue one.
each triangle is made out of 6 units (2 squares divided to 1/3 s)
- total of 10 squares (30 units)
- no glue.
Pattern:"Triangle Hat." Annie Modesitt. Knitter's 69 (Winter 2002): 72.
Yarn: 2 (50g/137yd) balls Filatura Di Crosa 501 (100% wool) in color #176 [Yellow]; 1 (2.5oz) hank Patchwork Fibers Cormo Wool; 1 (2oz) hank Patchwork Fibers Jacob Wool and Nylon in Purple. 501 and Cormo Wool were worked with 2 strands held together throughout.
Needles: 3.75mm (US 5)
Gauge:
Knitting Time and Date Completed: 3 days + 1 year. Completed for real 01/06
Notes: I actually finished this hat over a year ago, but had chalked it up in the Botched Projects column. The yarn had been a gift from my nieces, and I'd thought this a fun project on which to use it, especially since it more or less matched the color scheme of the original pattern. The colors looked as I'd hoped they would, but when it was done, the shape was an unattractive mess. My sister, while visiting me, looked at it for about a minute, then picked it up and folded it a couple more times to, voila, make it exactly like the hat in the pattern photo. It still doesn't look as good as I would like because the yarn I used was too soft to really hold the needed shape, but at least now I can wear it in public.
