The weather may not have been the best for getting out and about at times over the past week but that hasn't stopped our talented photographers capturing more gorgeous springtime pictures.

‘The best of spring’ is the current theme for our camera club members and you can enjoy some of the latest photos they've taken of the nature around us in the Watford area and beyond 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.
