Happy Caturday & Valentine's Day! #Caturday 💚💙💚
This image features a single-panel cartoon by Scott Metzger depicting a humorous scene with cats. A striped cat asks another cat if they like their gift. The second cat, sitting in an empty, heart-shaped chocolate box, replies, "I LOVE IT!". The joke relies on the fact that cats are known to prefer boxes over the actual items inside them.(AI)

Crimson Belly, Timber Dweller

Here’s a pretty good photo of a male Red‑bellied Woodpecker that stopped by late this afternoon. ...

1/2

"A Red‑bellied Woodpecker clings to a sunlit branch, its body angled in a way that suggests both balance and readiness. The red atop its head is present but subdued—more a soft patch than a vivid flare—peeking out just enough to tint the crown without dominating it. The face is pale and open, with a dark, attentive eye that gives the bird a calm, alert presence. Its belly carries that characteristic warm blush, faint and almost watercolor‑soft beneath creamy feathers. The back and wings display the species’ striking black‑and‑white barring, each line crisp and evenly spaced, creating a sense of texture and rhythm across the bird’s compact frame. The branch beneath its feet is rough with lichen, mottled in greens and grays that catch the sunlight in irregular patches. Shadows fall gently across the woodpecker’s body, giving the scene a layered, late‑day quietness. Behind the bird, the background melts into a smooth wash of blue and gray, a soft blur that makes the woodpecker stand out in sharp, elegant relief." - Microsoft Copilot

I was so happy to get a picture of this Roadrunner today! It’s a pretty decent photo, considering I shot it from the driver’s side through the passenger window. 😄🪶

Gibson Les Paul bass
When Gibson brought back the Les Paul in 1968, they also released this bass version. It's got the same basic LP shape, but with a rounder cutaway horn. It's got two low-impedance humbucking pickups like you'd see on later models like the Personal and the Recording. They're controlled by a bolume knob, a bass knob, a treble knob, and a 3-way switch. There's also a 3-position blade switch that acts as a tone selector and a sliding on/off phase switch. This model was replaced by the Triumph in 1970.

GIbson Challenger III
The Gibson Challenger III answers the question "What if a Les Paul was a Stratocaster?" It's got the famous LP body shape, but has three single-coil pickups (raided from the Corvus parts bin) mounted on a huge black pickguard, as well as a volume knob, a tone knob, and a 5-way blade switch.

MOSRITE VENTURES MARK V - 2pu, blue, solidbody, tremolo, ohsc Bakersfield CA 1966. Sold.

Continuing on the Mosrite theme. A Classic solidbody in blue as played by Ricky Wilson from the B52's to get you Partying Out Of Bounds!

#VintageGuitar #Guitar #Silvertone #Mosrite
This is a rare, Mosrite Ventures Mark V electric guitar made in 1966 in the USA at the Bakersfield, California factory. It is a beautiful, offset double cutaway, two single coil pickup, solidbody instrument. The features include a Honduran Mahogany body with a German Carve, a blue finish, an adjustable metal bridge with individually adjustable saddles, a die cast Mosrite tremolo tailpiece, two metal strap pins, and a white pickguard, with a black stripe around the edge, on which all of the electronics except for the pickups are mounted. This guitar comes with the original hardshell case. Mosrite guitars were first established in 1952 after Semi Moseley left Rickenbacker and joined Ray Boatwright. They merged their last names to create the name Mosrite. The full "The Ventures" line, which was created from 1963 through 1967, when the licensing agreement with The Ventures ended, consisted of the Mark I, Mark V, Mark X (bass) and Mark XII (12 string.) There were approximately 1500 of these Mark V's made which makes it very rare. Description from VintageSilvertones.com

Brian Eastwood Bender Collision bass
The Brian Eastwood Bender Collision looks like a Fender Precision bass that's been left in the sun too long and melted. Everything is warped and stretched. There's also a 3D element to the warping. The upper cutaway horn is actually bent away from the player. Even the headstock is curved upwards. The electronics are normal enough, but the two coils of the P-pickup are separated and askew. There's a volume and a tone control, but they look like normal off-the-shelf parts. I think they missed a trick by not making the knobs warped somehow, but that's my only gripe.
