SPRING has sprung!

The crocuses and daffodils are peeping their way above the soil - a sure sign that spring is on its way.

Members of Guardian Camera Club shared their images of early signs of spring and what a colourful display lies ahead.

The Camera Club is a supportive and friendly group of amateur and professional photographers and as well as submitting photos taken recently, members also take part in regular themed challenges, like waterways, reflections and Valentine's Day.

You can join 583 others in our camera club on Facebook at facebook.com/groups/guardiancameraclub
