I have been blessed to photograph Cedar waxwing on several different occasions and in several different states. This is the first one I have ever seen in a cedar tree.
Taken on 09 May, 2022 at J Percy Priest Lake, Nashville TN.
The two part Slater Bridge takes advantage of a central large rock and a very long slate slab to cross the River Brathay on its way from Little Langdale Tarn to Elterwater.
Somebody decided a quick 'rest break' was needed........would of been rude really not to get the camera out; coat, boots and feet were already wet so I thought why not......but I did feel truly soaked cold and horrible by the time we got home!
The advantage for me of living in a big city is that there is such a variety of people out on the street every day. Taking street portraits, brings me into a few moments of close contact to someone previously totally unknown: Every one of these meetings truly enriches my life…
Living in the country has its advantages. One of the great things is that there are many little backroads to explore and around each curve there is something new. On this warm Summer morning the dips and valleys have lite fog hovering just over the landscape.

The Ulenburg is a nice old castle in Löhne, East Westphalia, Northwest Germany. I took advantage of this sunny Sunday to try out my new EOS 6D.
CP 119 through Cherrywood with a odd choice of power! Pair of CN gevos leads the way from Mtl with a huge string of solid auto racks.
This female Blue Jay quickly took advantage of the peanuts that were put out. She took 3 in her beak, flew off to parts unknown, then returned for more.
Taking advantage of a sunny Spring morning, Comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album), basking over Celandines (Ficaria verna), Farnborough Hall woodland. North Oxfordshire
Having been pestered by friends and family, I have produced greetings cards of this image, which can be viewed by accessing the following link.
At sunrise, for just a handful of minutes, the sun shines on the top of the mountaing creating a beautiful coloured top.
Serra da Estrela (Star Mountain) is Portugal’s mainland highest mountain. At 1,993 metres at its highest point in Torre, Serra da Estrela is an area of rare landscape beauty. You can take advantage of the moments of communion with nature to discover the diversity of plants and birds and the flocks of sheep herded by Estrela dogs from the breed named after the mountain.
In cold weather, Serra da Estrela is the only place in Portugal where you can try ski, or go sledging, snowboarding or ride a snowmobile. Albeit small, there are several runs with support infrastructure, as well as artificial snow runs for skiing at any time of the year.
This natural park is excellent for trekking, horse-riding or mountain biking. It boasts some 375km of marked trails of varying degrees of difficulty.

Europe's grey squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) originated in North America, where they are known as eastern grey squirrels (to differentiate from western grey squirrels). They eat large seeds, flowers, buds, fruits, fungi, some insects and occasionally bird eggs.
They were first introduced into England, in a concerted way, in 1876, and through rapidly growing population and further introductions they spread to the rest of Great Britain by the early to mid-20th century. The eastern grey squirrel was introduced to Continental Europe in 1948 and has quickly taken advantage of Europe's food sources, habitats and lack of predators for grey squirrels.
This image was taken near Heversham in Cumbria, in the North West of England
Took advantage of a sunny bank holiday Monday for a visit to Achill Island. The weather was perfect and it made the views that bit more enjoyable. Sorry for reuploading this photo-I felt the colour temperature was wrong on the other version. #WildAtlanticWay
We are in a deep freeze right now but the sun has been out so might as well take advantage of the sun while stuck indoors and photograph oil and water.

I'm taking advantage of the rain to process a few photos...
Je profite de la pluie pour traiter quelques photos...
Quebec, Canada
This is a little noisy and not the sharpest image but it's still cool. I'm not sure if I was alone or if Frank was with me, but this was one of our favorite spots.
We loved taking advantage of getting a rec pass from the Army wander around out in the wilds of the giant military reservation that the Alaska Railroad threaded through on its way north. On this cloudy late summer evening the clouds shrouding the Chugach Mountains are dramatic as a big 130N north OX is seen passing the north end of Reves siding and swinging into the broad curve here at MP 129.2 only 15 miles into their 356 mile overnight journey. On the headpin trailing the twin SD70MACs is a block of loaded ABI cement hoppers trailed by the normal 80 or more empty tank cars headed back to the huge Flint Hills North Pole Refinery for another load of jet fuel....back in better days.

Took advantage of a beautiful evening and went out to the beach last night to shoot.
Before you know it, the sun will be setting before I get out of work.

Taking advantage of a pleasant day for photography in sunny Somerset, 47614 and 47593 "Galloway Princess" passes an emerging maize crop at Allerford with the 1Z72 06.20 Wolverhampton-Paignton "English Riviera Statesman" charter.
Taken with the assistance of a pole and my then-new 40mm prime which was used on this occasion to extenuate the amazing panorama at this location (thanks for the endorsement Sparky).
Took advantage of a cold, but sunny, morning to get out for a much needed run after the rain of the last few days. Noticed this leaf on a wall - this 366 thing doesn't half make you look at the world with an eye for often ignored detail - and rather liked the way the low sun cast its shadow on the top of the wall. Nice early finish to the project for a change!
Beinn Tarsuinn and Beinn Nuis on the Isle of Arran. Always wondered how the view would look from 30m higher up. Now I know.
The advantage of being a bit behind: the tulips last longer than elsewhere :-)
Seen in Spandau, in the far west of Berlin.
The advantage of having a short train, such as this whale (X 73608) covering a local run from Belfort to Vesoul, is that you can see more of these telegraph poles that are now no longer there - but in late June, they still were! Amblans-et-Velotte, 30-06-2020.
Taking advantage of the late mornings ( until the clocks change ). I find myself being able to wake up, be on location ready to shoot before the sunrises. Saturday morning a thick fog hung over the prairie so I was hoping to get some photographs of some deer against the rising sun with the fog. However, the deer did not wish to cooperate. So I took the dewy prairie grass instead.
Bartel Grassland.
Taking advantage of a lull in work travel (I have been on the road for the last ten weeks across Canada) I made my way to the Ottawa River yesterday morning. There was heavy fog, and as a result lots of interesting activity.
Once the fog began to burn off, a major flying insect hatch made its way across the River northward, only to run into the thousands of Gulls at a colony on the Québec side of the River. The Gulls, acrobatic flyers and voracious omnivores, wasted no time: pulling them off the surface and hawking them out of the air.
After some practice with timing and watching the behaviours, I was able to get some images like this one - the bird is about to snap its bill shut on a flying insect - and also of them scooping the insects off the water.
Part of the frenzy is that this is a competitive event: hundreds of birds were in the air and the most aggressive birds claimed the most food.
I don’t normally photograph Ring-billed Gulls, but the level of intensity in the feeding and the amazing flight behaviours were pretty riveting.
The Tri-colored Herons also possess quite a reach and can definitely do a bit of a stretch if the prey tends to be a bit far away. Photo taken on Horsepen Bayou.

Dave: Bruno, are you stealing from Santa?
Bruno: Not so much stealing as taking advantage of priority access.
Dave: Really? Getting into presents before Christmas is now called priority access?
Bruno: Yup. I'm all about priority access. You have to remember that I'm pretty big in the Playmobil world.
Dave: Figuratively or literally?
Bruno: Likely both. I'm big compared to the figures.
Dave: True that.
Bruno: And seriously, how are these not meant for me? They're Toblerbones!
Dave: I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Toblerone.
Bruno: Nope. Toblerone is made of chocolate so I'm not allowed to eat it. These treats are shaped the same so I'm dubbing the "Toblerbones".
Dave: Well done on the rebranding. But, can you exert a little self control and not steal the treats directly from the sleigh?
Bruno: Um, Dave?
Dave: Yes?
Bruno: This is self control for me. I haven't eaten Santa yet.

A little pre-Christmas fun with Playmobil. We were cleaning up the basement the other day and stumbled on this set. I immediately knew it would be part of Bruno's 52 weeks shot. This continues the series of Playmobil shots from previous years which will be linked in the comments.
After a lengthy trip to the heart of BNSF territory, I racked up two SD70MAC leaders. Most of the MAC fleet were in storage while newer orange locomotives handled the tonnage. Meanwhile, Progress Rail purchased several of them from BNSF and put them into leasing service while they started rebuilding Norfolk Southern SD70's. All of these things led to me catching a mint SD70MAC, in current "swoosh" paint, not on the prairie but right in my own back yard, leading train 15T through Pennsylvania. Don't let the lack of patches fool you; this is no longer an BNSF locomotive. The traditional PRLX black patches were applied months after this shot was taken.
It was a Seagull that made the catch. Other Seagulls immediately gave chase, causing him to drop the fish. Bald eagles watch for such openings and sure enough, this one took advantage!
Some nice eagle action on the lake today as the thawing continues. It's 64 degrees as I'm typing this!! Cold again tomorrow. Welcome to March.
Used 'virtual' yellow filter. Great advantage of having interchangable lenses is posibility to mount a real one.
Slowly but surely, I am considering replacement of the RX100 in my backpack to either a6000 or OM-D E-M10. I just miss few options.
And I definitely miss analog. I promised myself to shot more film this autumn but the RX100 handy candy just dominated me :)
