It's the time of year for capturing gorgeous pictures of flowers coming into bloom as insects buzz around - and dinosaurs roam in Cassiobury Park.

'The best of spring' is the new theme for our camera club and it has already resulted in some fantastic photos of some of the wonderful sights that can again be enjoyed as we say farewell to winter.

You can enjoy them by scrolling down this page.

The Watford Observer Camera Club is a Facebook-based group. It is open to all photographers – from those who snap pictures on their phones, to professionals who capture perfect shots with specialist equipment.

Every four weeks, members of the camera club are set a new challenge, a theme is selected and then the work starts for our talented photographers.

Search for Watford Observer Camera Club on Facebook. Ask to join the group and we’ll accept you.
