What the Waterlilies Sing

Bobbi Baugh

“The old creek began to sing in my ears.”

Mary Oliver, line from the poem “Trout Lilies”

Oliver’s poem, about a very different kind of lily, came to mind when I photographed these waterlilies near my home.
I love the concept of music from the water, and the healing power of its memory.
(As, in Oliver’s poem, “There was a light that lingered, for hours,,, that made a difference.”)
