THE beautiful spring and early summer weather has prompted plenty of you to take your cameras with you on your lockdown exercise and essential journeys, as this selection of images from around Helensburgh and Lomond - and one or two from a little further afield - demonstrates.

Pictures in our latest 'reader photos' feature were taken in Helensburgh town centre, Rhu, Ben Bouie, Loch Lomond and the snow-capped hills of Perthshire, to name a few.

Huge thanks to all the readers whose work is featured here – Steven Flannigan, Alan MacLean, Alan Frew, Norman Rodger, Derek McFarlane, Sharon Fletcher, Henry Garson, Tom Watt, Andrew Clark, Don Maclean, Ron Bratt and Fiona Mackie Collins – for taking the time to send in their photos.

We’ll be featuring more of your images in the weeks ahead, so if you have a picture you’d like to see in a future edition of the Advertiser, just email it to us at editorial@helensburghadvertiser.co.uk with brief details of when, where and by whom it was taken.

Thanks - and happy snapping!
