In pictures: Colchester Gazette Camera Club shares incredible summer snaps

TALENTED Gazette camera club members captured Essex's late June heatwave with some incredible pictures of animals, flowers, and even a paddling dog.

Beautiful shots of garden flowers were taken as well as a stunning picture of the bailing of hay in Wakes Colne.

Animals were spotted in, or drinking from water, as the East of England was issued with a yellow health-heat warning.

As well as enjoying the sunny hot weather, residents across England were asked to check on the most vulnerable.
