Time for a lazy-looking float, here in Nuneaton, Warwickshire.
This rainbow was snapped in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.

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

This week, we have some lovely rainbows, more flowers and trees in bloom - and the odd gorgeous sunny scene.

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.
