COLCHESTER'S amateur photographers have been out and about once again, providing a stunning selection of photos for this week's installment of Colchester Gazette Camera Club.

This week's pictures feature images of nature including insects, buttercups and poppies. 

There is also a stunning image by Allan Jones of a mandrill at Colchester Zoo. 

As always, we readily accept any submissions via our Gazette Camera Club Facebook page, a great way to share your hobby with others.

Upload your best photos for a chance to feature in next week's spread.
