Gloucestershire in Pictures: A tryfest at Kingsholm

Gloucester's Lewis Ludlow was one of their try scorers against Exeter on Sunday

Our weekly round-up of pictures from the county includes beautiful sun pictures and stunning flowers in the county.

Another mixed week of weather for Gloucestershire but the sunshine broke through on many occasions revealing these stunning photos of brightly coloured flowers.

Community spirit: They were celebrating a special parkrun in Stroud on Saturday as the weekly event marked its 200th occasion.

New additions: These Hawaiian geese, also known as nēnē goslings, have hatched at WWT Slimbridge Wetland Centre. During the 1950s the species was close to extinction due to the introduction of predators and the loss of habitat, but now the world population is more than 3,000 because of WWT breeding them.

Put your feet up: A sofa dumped by the side of a road in Lydbrook has become an unlikely tourist attraction. Despite fly-tipping being illegal and punishable by large fines or even prison time, more furniture has since been added and the site has become a popular resting spot. Local photographer Alex Elton-Wall has now taken the portraits of more than 140 nearby residents at the site.

Pretty in pink: What a great contrast between green and pink. This tiny area of blooms in Abbeymead caught the eye of weather watcher, Wildwoman.

Stunning sunshine: Thank you to Ursula for sending this one through to us. A sun halo is known to be an atmospheric optical phenomenon where a ring of light, often white but can be coloured, appears around the sun.

Green Gloucestershire: This gorgeous picture of Frampton on Severn was caught by Space Walker, one of our weather watchers.

Flower power: What a capture! This has been a highlight for us this week as the blue flowers and sunshine in the background suggest that summer may well be on the way.
