Bernard Doucette

Embers of Stillness captures a poetic tension between fragility and strength. Against a void of darkness, the calla lilies rise—fiery orange petals glowing like embers suspended in quiet air. Their stems arch with grace, yet the composition radiates a restrained power. This piece reflects the delicate persistence of beauty even in solitude, a moment where warmth survives the surrounding night.

In the hush of darkness, a quiet fire blooms.
“Embers of Stillness” — an ode to resilience and grace, where color becomes light and silence turns luminous.

Closure.mp3 Music and Artwork by Raven. Inquiries: ravenbranhard@gmail.com

I recorded this track over a year ago. I named it closure back then. Not quite sure why. But ultimately, we all need closure. Click on the link below to listen.

Nicely done, Raven! Very cool. 🤙

MT lawmakers are suing to make it easier to kill wolves. Yes- you read that right.

Once again, wolves are being treated as targets instead of the vital, intelligent keystone species they are. Science and ethics must guide management. Wolves deserve better.

The picture shows two Canadian geese resting in shallow water. The goose in the foreground faces the camera, displaying its white chinstrap and brown-and-white plumage. The second goose, slightly behind, is grooming its feathers with its head tucked back, revealing its black neck and white underbelly. The calm, greenish water reflects their forms, creating a serene natural scene.

The image shows a group of small mushrooms, most likely from the genus Mycena. These mushrooms are commonly known as bonnets or bonnet caps. Like tiny fairy umbrellas, a grouping of white bonnet caps poke up through a bed of lush green moss. Sticks, leaves and pine needles are nestled all around, creating the perfect conditions for the mycelium to bloom.

Here's one for the #Mushoom lovers!🤍🍄🥰💚 This is definitely a fairy hangout! ✨️🧚‍♂️🧚‍♀️✨️

The village looks like something out of a storybook...beautiful! Thank you, Pipa! 😊

😂 I do that all the time and get looks as well. I'm sure if the storekeeper knew it was thicktrunkthursday, he'd completely understand. Great photo, Belle!

Narly tree! 😄

Only fancy trees grow in Aspen, Colorado 🌳😎🤷‍♀️

That's a stunning photo - thank you Pipa, as always. Yes, the white squirrels are quite something - they aren't albinos (notice the dark eyes). The white fur is a genetic condition. Apparently, they escaped from a visiting carnival decades ago. Safe travels and have a great evening! 😊🫶

This Carolina wren is a cutie! 🩷
