The sunny skies, new-born lambs and cute fluffy chicks of spring have delivered photo opportunities galore, as this selection of readers' pictures proves.
These are some of the best shots submitted to our spring picture competition and could win a �100 voucher to spend at photography specialists Jessops.
Jo Dane, from Beaumont Leys, Leicester, focused her zoom lens on a new-born lamb.
The 39-year-old took the picture during her first visit to Leicester's Gorse Hill City Farm.
She said: "He was so young he could barely stand up, so I had to have him as my photo star."
A field of yellow rapeseed oil flowers in Cotes, near Loughborough, was too spring-like for opportunistic photographer Keith Colman to ignore.
The 46-year-old delivery driver, from Wigston, said: "Yellow fields sum up springtime, especially when they are framed by clear blue skies."
Amy Envis, 20, said she snapped this white cloud against a blue sky because it reminded her of fluffy new-born lambs.
The media student, from Thurmaston, who took the photograph at Watermead Country Park, said: "I was enjoying the nice weather, lying on the floor trying to get the clear sky.
"Then I thought this was more interesting."
The competition deadline is midnight on June 14, so there is still time to let us see what springtime means to you.
