A wooden staircase with multiple steps runs all the way up a steep hill. The hill itself is covered in grassland and shrubbery with several animals grazing on it.
Now that's what you call a staircase - snapped by BBC Weather Watcher Step by Step in Winchester [Step by Step]
A close up of a robin with a red breast looking off camera. It is sitting on a tree branch with several other branches behind it.
Not long to go now until the big day! It looks like BBC Weather Watcher Yen Milne has painted this robin rather than photographing it in Fareham [Yen Milne]
A lush green golf course stretches almost to a cliff edge. Beyond that is the sea and the white cliffs of the coastline can be seen in the distance. In the foreground there is a yellow flag marking a hole on the golf course.
What a spot for a round of golf! This panoramic view was captured by BBC Weather Watcher peach fuzz at Freshwater on the Isle of Wight [peach fuzz]
A golden sunset casts an orange and yellow glow across the sky over a beach with a pier sticking out into the water. Several people are walking along the beach.

A weir stands in the middle of a river with water flowing over its edge and dropping down into a separate pool of water. The banks on either side of the river are lined with trees.
This lovely shot of the weir near Sherborne St John was taken by BBC Weather Watcher Beachpebbles [Beachpebbles]
There is a large expanse of water with trees lining its distant shore. The trees are silhouetted against the sky, which is a dark blue colour but also bright orange on the horizon and peppered with pink clouds.
