Waterlily Series by Pamela A. Babusci and Diane Dehler

http://www.haigaonline.com/gallery.html

I have always been drawn to waterlilies as symbols of wisdom and transformation. In my pursuit of the waterlily I seek the joy and transcendence that emerges from perception of perfect beauty. I approach photography as only a poet can: with an intuitive heart & desire to become that which I perceive; a perfect moment of a flower.

dark night of a poppy said, Princess Haiku

deep inside the
inky-maroon poppy
all the carnal sins
she made while
loving him

Pamela A. Babusci (5/23/13)

tendrils, said Princess Haiku

To Diane Dehler

spider mum
weave your liquid petals
around
the tendrils of our passion
& the whiteness of love

Pamela A. Babusci

a hint of magenta said, Princess Haiku

To Diane Dehler


my love
a hint of magenta
lipstick
wild orchids tangle around
our leafless bodies
