I have been a professional photographer and artist for over 25 years. I have worked at newspapers, magazines and now freelance. I love art. www.kortduce.com
Nice capture DHE!

I noticed this person shared your picture without attribution, which bothered me, but I didn’t want to be a Karen or Kevin and tell her otherwise, but you’d think she would know better. Intellectual property is important as a photographer. I plan on blocking her.

Looking up at this mesmerizing face from about 15 feet (or 4.57 meters).

Canada geese have been in Colorado for a while now. Here is a portrait of a Canada goose at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado.

I am digging into my archive for this picture, which shows headshots of turkeys at a farm in Utah when I first started my newspaper career 28 years ago.

At any rate, Happy Thanksgiving for those people who celebrate it!

Last Friday it drizzled all night. When I walked the dogs in the morning I found these leaves floating in St. Vrain Creek.

An American white pelican patrols the water at Izaak Walton Nature Area in Longmont, Colorado.

Oddly, there are still quite a few pelicans still hanging around; I saw two dozen at Union Reservoir.

A great place to escape is on Flagg Ranch Road from Grand Teton National Park to Ashton, Idaho.

Thank you!

I got my braces off today after almost 4 years! They did all sorts of x-rays, including this profile one. I asked them to email me it and they did.

So I did a big brain, small brain and no brain version! Just goofing off!
