This past Thanksgiving I was blessed to be able to photograph the Detroit Lions as they hosted the Chicago Bears in the annual Thanksgiving Day game at Ford Field in Detroit, MI. I arrived early and walked a few blocks over to checkout the Turkey Trot followed by America’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Here are a few images. Enjoy!
