THE MAJORITY of the images shown on Camera Club today were taken at or near Lepe Beach – two snapped of the sea, one slightly inshore, and another in a grazing field just nearby.

A beautiful picture of purple, orange and gold was taken at Hatchet Pond, the clouds above the trees looking like a distant mushroom cloud.

Insects have been captured resting on various plantlife, such as a bee on a sunflower and a Common Blue butterfly on lavender.

The gorgeous South Downs can be seen at sunrise with the sun bursting through the branches of a tree.

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.
