WE LOVE to throw a bit of a curve ball at our camera club members when it comes to picking a theme for our weekly spread - so this week we decided it should be mud.
But, as always, the pictures came flooding in, as the photographers were not in the least phased by this request.
This is just a small selection of the pictures shared by members of the South Wales Argus Camera Club and you can see more by visiting the SWACC page on Facebook. More than 4,700 people are signed up as camera club members. Why not join them?
