We are really in sunflower season now and seeing plenty of great shots of them in fields across the West Midlands, as here in Bodenham, Herefordshire.
A magical sight - thousands of sunflowers in this Hereford field.

We love to feature your photographs showing the beauty of the West Midlands in all kinds of ways.

This week, we have ducks exploring on the water, pictures taken on horseback and - as ever this summer - some marvellous blooms.

You can be part of future galleries with your own photos of the area - upload your images via BBC Weather Watchers or email us at midlandstoday@bbc.co.uk.

For inspiration, view some top tips here from three of England's Big Picture photographers.

This is almost like a scene out of a period drama, taken as the sun set in Marton, Warwickshire, this week
