September 28, 2007
I recently returned from The Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana where my photo exhibition, “Penguins of the Antarctic, A Photographic Expedition,” is currently installed. The exhibition is from August 31 through October 21, 2007. I went to the museum for the reception on Friday, September 21 where I gave 2 talks and signed my book in the shop.
The museum is a paleontogist’s dream, their mascot being “Big Mike” a Tyrannosaurus rex. Montana is dinosaur fossil territory and the museum serves as the state repository for fossils found in Montana. Research conducted at the Museum has been integral in formulating the latest theories on dinosaur physiology and behavior.
Another fascinating exhibition at the museum is “Masters of the Night, The True Story of Bats.” I felt honored to have my penguins included with bats and “Dinosaurs Under the Big Sky.”
Montana is an entrance to Yellowstone National Park. I drove from Bozeman, Montana to the Park in Montana and Wyoming. Most of the Park is a wilderness area having 2.2 million acres. Being from California I enjoyed the first dusting of snow in the mountains, elk trumpeting, hot geysers (Old Faithful Geyser) and buffalo. I look forward to returning when I have more time and can look for eagles, wolves, moose and bear. I now understand why people return again and again to this most beautiful National Park.
