An older image from the Chalet jam a couple of years back.
Amazing what you find when you go through older photos.
The Fender Stratocaster, colloquially known as the Strat, is a model of electric guitar designed from 1952 into 1954 by Leo Fender, Bill Carson, George Fullerton and Freddie Tavares. The Fender Musical Instruments Corporation has continuously manufactured the Stratocaster from 1954 to the present. It is a double-cutaway guitar, with an extended top "horn" shape for balance. Along with the Gibson Les Paul and Fender Telecaster, it is one of the most-often emulated electric guitar shapes.

Fender's blue butterfly is an endangered species. I took this photo at Baskett Slough NWR, where the largest known remaining population is.,
At Rivington Guitars in the East Village, New York City. They also have a great collection of old amplifiers!
Production of this iconic vehicle recently ceased after 47 years. The 1A was the vehicle I took my driving test in in 1962.
Finally caught up to a species I've been looking for for a few years.
Once thought to be extinct, the Fender’s blue butterfly was known only from collections made between 1929 and 1937, until it was rediscovered in 1989 by Paul Hammond. Fender’s blue is a butterfly that formerly thrived in the prairies of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, but during the past 140 years an estimated 99 percent of this native prairie has been turned into farmland or otherwise developed.
Habitat loss from agriculture and urban development poses the greatest threat to the Fender’s blue. Another major threat to the butterfly is the invasion of exotic plants. Invasive species, such as Himalayan blackberry and Scotch broom, have been outcompeting and displacing the Kincaid’s lupine and other native wildflowers in upland prairies where the butterflies live. -- XERCES Society for Invertebrate Conservation
