THIS week’s pictures from The Northern Echo Camera Club take us from the neon-space atmosphere of Ryhope Beach, in Sunderland, to bright blue skies above Goldsmiths in Newcastle.
In the selection below, vibrant tree sprouts coming to life can be seen in a picture taken by Brian Irving, two little spring lambs are relaxing in a picture taken by Martin Stirk, and a sweet little wren calls out in song in a photo from Christopher Bennett.
This is just a small selection of the pictures shared by the camera club, and more than 2,100 people are signed up as camera club members.
