THESE are some of the best photographs taken by the Romsey Advertiser Camera Club this week.

From vivid flowers to historic machines, we've selected six photos from across the camera clubs to feature in this gallery.

This month's theme is "summer joy", and the chosen photos are examples of this.

  1. A sunflower by Arthur Weaver.
  2. An old steam locomotive by Tracey Fripp.
  3. A sparrowhawk with its prey (a blackbird) by Douglas Marsh.
  4. A bee by Antony Garland.
  5. A raven taking flight by Dave Newbury.
  6.  Garden flowers by Irene Fielding.
