FIRST came the cold snap, then came the Daily Echo Camera Club snaps.

Not even the Beast From the East could stop members from getting out and capturing beautiful pictures from across the county - if anything - it spurred them on.

As one would expect, the pictures this week are mostly of snow, ice and generally chilly looking surroundings.

Also included are a few images taken earlier in the week which include daffodils outside Netley Abbey, sunset at Mayflower Park and swans in flight on the Solent.

Pictures submitted are regularly published in the Daily Echo and in galleries on dailyecho.co.uk.

We welcome submissions on virtually any topic or theme, and joining the group is easy and free.
