MEMBERS of Guardian Camera Club avoid a soaking last week as the weather turned and the rain came down.

They were inspired and came up with some fantastic shots for our weekly challenge - raindrops.

We ask members to submit their favourite photos each week as well as images based on a theme.

Hot on the heels of churches and pairs came a callout for raindrops in Mid Cheshire.

Wendy Mahon and Ti Buckley spotted raindrops on summer blooms and Heather Wilde saw a soggy goldfinch braving the rain.

The Camera Club is a supportive and friendly group of amateur and professional photographers.

You can join 620 others on Facebook at facebook.com/groups/guardiancameraclub
