Bozeman Airport Medalions - William Clark's Portrait - As well as a very interesting shadow on the Madison River Today

I was driving to Bozeman Montana yesterday afternoon, and driving north east along the Madison River, when this shadow of a Bear's head caught my eye.. I nearly drove off the road. I came back to the same spot 24 hours later to see if I was imagining this. Well Not only did I see a bear, I saw a wolves head in the same shadow just a couple of minutes after the bear disappeared. Just gave me goose bumps.

Bozeman Airport Medalions - Sacajawea Finished today - Recieved Male and Female Skulls Today

I was asked by Jim Dolan, a Bozman Montana Artist, who creates welded sculptures (http://www.jimdolanart.com/), to help with a project he's doing for the Bozeman Airport. I'm doing 6 medallions of Lewis and Clark, Sacajawea, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Albert Gallatine. Merriwether Lewis, and William clark, along with Sacajawea, made up the "Corps of Discovery Expedition" (1804--1806). It was the first transcontinental expedition to the Pacific Coast by the United States. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson. Their objects were both scientific and commercial -- to study the area's plants, animal life, and geography, and to discover how the region could be exploited economically. Part of that expedition was to find the headwaters of the Missouri River. Three rivers formed the headwaters of the Missouri River and they were named after President Jefferson, Madison, and Gallatin in July of 1805. Those headwaters are just 45 miles north of where I live. It's kinda cool.

Gettysburg on a Sunny Day

I had a few hours, before my flight back to Montana, and so I decided that since it was a sunny day, I'd go back to the Gettysburg Battle Field to see what I couldn't see yesterday.

Captain John Lovewell - Two Days In Maryland USA

I'm going to photograph a model, John Buxton, in an authentic 1724 outfit for the Capt. John Lovewell commission I'm creating.
I've been commissioned to create a 1/2 life size bronze of a famous early American hero. Captain John Lovewell, who was killed by Abenaki Indians in a battle near Lovewell Pond.
John Lovewell (October 14, 1691 -- May 8, 1725) was a famous Ranger in the 18th century who fought during Dummer's War (also known as Lovewell's War). He lived in present-day Nashua, New Hampshire. He fought in Dummer's War as a militia captain, leading three expeditions against the Abenaki Indians.
Lovewell was commemorated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow with his poem, "The Battle of Lovells Pond", and by Nathaniel Hawthorne with his story, "Roger Malvin's Burial".
