Barany Krisztina Tulips — Barany Krisztina: "Between March and May every year the famous botanical garden Keukenhof in Holland attracts visitors from all over the world. They can admire the blooms of not less than seven million bulbous flowers, such as tulips and hyacinths. Here a group of visitors is pictured enjoying a stroll among the blossoming fields on this sunny Easter Monday."

Eliza Dutton Baby raccoon — Eliza Dutton: "A dog I was watching found this kit (a baby raccoon) near the forest in Michigan, USA, one spring. Although fully grown raccoons are nocturnal, it is quite normal for babies to wander out of their nest during the daytime. This little guy got tuckered out doing so."

Clive Tobin Ladybird — Clive Tobin: "Need to work on camouflage."

Mallory Munien Baby grasshopper — Mallory Munien: "A green baby grasshopper is spotted on an orange coneflower."

Jemma Paradise Seagull — Jemma Paradise: "Nowadays, only seagulls and tourists escape from Alcatraz, seen in the distance on this evening walk in San Francisco."

Martin Chamberlain Running dog — Martin Chamberlain: "My friend Sally's cockapoo, Mimi, loves her 'walks', though they are usually undertaken at a greyhound's pace. This image was taken in Buchan Country Park in West Sussex in spring last year."

Richard Hughes Woman carrying her son — Richard Hughes: "Lovely to show my son fields of golden rapeseed and beautiful blue skies for the first time this Easter holiday. Nothing like a long countryside walk to relax and unwind."

Chandra Mayor Footprints in the snow — Chandra Mayor: "Walking my granddaughter to school on Easter Monday in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, after a surprise Easter snowstorm. Spring in the North."

Heatehr Ward Butterfly lantern — Heather Ward: "Walking through the Glow in the Park Spring Lantern Festival at the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, in Palm Desert, California, just after nightfall."

Tom Shelford Sheep — Tom Shelford: "Congestion in Dorset for the Easter getaway."
