WELCOME to another edition of the camera club - a weekly celebration of all the things we love about our part of the world.

Our wonderful camera club members have once again ventured to the great outdoors to share some perfect pictures with readers.

We are fortunate to not only live in a part of the world so alive with natural and manmade wonders but also that our growing camera club membership share such a diverse taste.

From landscapes to animals, both wild and domesticated, each week our camera club members paint a visual story of what life is like in our part of the world.

Now we are firmly into spring we can expect even more pictures as the days become more drawn out and the sun basks on our beautiful land for longer.

It has been a tough winter but one which now looks to be ending and, hopefully, we can all look ahead to brighter times.

Of course, the war in Ukraine tops everyone’s list of concerns at the moment.

It is important to remember that while we enjoy the peace and tranquility of our landscapes and towns that so many people in Ukraine have lost just that and so much more.

We can only hope an end is in sight.

In the meantime, thanks to our camera club stars for doing what they do best in sharing pictures of our beautiful land.
