OUR camera club members have been out and about capturing summer joy this month.

While we may not have had the brightest start to summer, our camera club members have spent July capturing the joyous moments they've found on camera.

As the weather gets warmer, the Andover Advertiser Camera Club has been making the most of the bright colours and gorgeous creatures emerging for this month's theme, 'Summer Joy'. 

It's never easy for us to choose just 14 images from all the submissions, but we have picked some highlights to share and have loved seeing all the photographs posted on the Facebook page.
