Here's one more #anhinga image for now, the previous being focused ont the falling out (atop the tree) and one of three getting thumped off the branch and fell by my feet. That got me thinking about one of my all-time favorite songs/tracks. (David Cosby RIP)

"Why can't we go on as three?"

Well, these three chicks ("poults") seem to be doing fine, with Dad here at the nest, to give their nests equal time as the egrets.

Still Reading? 🙏 🏆

"The best part of the trip" - The sound-track.

This is one of the top songs in my life experience, in the rock/pop genre.
Beautifully sung and performed, it (like "Lather") gave me goose-bumps and - on CD - epitomized 'state of the art recording

Happy Weekend, Spring '23
May arrived, pandemics abated, and weather is weather. Meanwhile, in #Nature... Nesting Season as usual...

A song written by David Crosby, amplified through life, Grace Slick, the #60s, and 1968's Jefferson Airplane,_ Crown of Creation_

This song has an interesting back-story of course (biographical) but also a song of the times. f

TRIAD -

You want to know how it will be
Me and him or you and me
You both stand there, your long hair flowing
Your eyes alive, your mind still growing
Saying to me - what can we do now that we both love you
I love you too, I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three
You are afraid, embarrassed too
No one has ever said such a thing to you
Your mother's ghost stands at your shoulder
Face like ice, a little bit colder
Saying to you - you can not do that, it breaks
All the rules you learned in school
I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three
We love each other, it's plain to see
There's just one answer comes to me
Sister lovers, water brothers
And in time maybe others
So you see what we can do is to try something new
If you're crazy too, I don't really see
Why can't we go on as three

Tangential to a discussion of moon goddesses, and Artemis, who was a three-in-one moon goddess...

"And just one answer comes to me..." Reminded of one of my all-time favorite songs, sung here too, some might say, by a goddess.
Written by David Crosby (Triad). Grace Slick wrote Lather (link below).

TRIAD - Jefferson Airplane, Crown of Creation (1968)

This is a decent video (audio-wise) for online; When this album came out (vinyl), & later on tape, with big amp & big speakers, this song - and Lather from the same album - would be two songs for which I'd crank up the volume and bathe in this beautiful sound.

Here is a blast from the past - Ah, the 60's! This performance, by Jefferson Airplane was in 1969 - and written by Donovan.
The video really captures that time and place, with a Fillmore-like light show pumping the psychedelia..

Jefferson Airplane, performing a Donovan song! Ah, the 60's!

FAT ANGEL

He will bring happiness in a pipeHe'll ride away on his silver bike
And apart from that
He'll be so kind in consenting to blow your mind
Fly Trans-love Airways gets you there on time
Fly Jefferson Airplane gets you there on time
He will bring orchids for my lady the perfume will be an excellent kind
And apart from that he'll be so kind in consenting to blow your mind
Fly Trans-love Airways gets you there on time
Fly Jefferson Airplane gets you there on time

Twenty-one minutes of unseen footage of the vast and notoriously violent Altamont music festival held in northern California in 1969 have been unexpectedly uncovered. The home-movie footage – which is vividly shot on 8mm film, but frustratingly silent – has been published by the Library of Congress on its website. I just added a soundtrack, enjoy!

Jefferson Airplane: White Rabbit

White Rabbit

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know

When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head
