THE sunshine has been making our corner of the county look more beautiful than ever.
Both people and animals have been enjoying the conditions - as shown in this wonderful selection of Camera Club pictures.
From day-trippers cooling off at Dedham to bugs soaking up some rays, our photographers have been in the right place to capture the action.
