THIS WEEK, Daily Echo Camera Club members have treated us to a variety of stunning photographs taken across Hampshire.

Many have ventured out into the New Forest to enjoy and capture nature, while others have remained closer to home and explored Southampton.

In a time that is so dreary, grey and cold, we were delighted to see and share so many colourful photographs.

John Baker’s snap of Lepe Beach (below) showcases the blue beauty of the sea, even in the midst of winter, and Liz Reed’s shot of a sunrise over the River Test captures the essence of winter sunshine perfectly.

Animals have also been featured, and we particularly like Steve Clifft’s amusing photo of a Robin as seen through a sphere.

Click on the gallery at the top of this article to see all of the pictures.
