We're so caught up in our daily lives that we sometimes forget about the wonderful diversity of life all around us.
Not so members of The Press Camera Club, judging by the great selection of photos on our centre pages today.
Keeping a constant eye out for the next image must certainly make you more aware of the world around you.
There are some wonderful captured moments, here: among them Joy Stead's female house sparrow glimpsed through a gap in a wooden fence; E Louise Marshall's wary sheep, guarding a gateway in Bronte Country; Sally Mastronardi's wet Labrador, caught in the moment of shaking itself dry; and Jodie Elinor Cassidy's photo of a tortoise in the act of taking a bite out of a leaf - an image that could have come straight out of Jurassic Park.
Many - though not all - of these photographs were taken as part of this month's Press Camera Club #action competition. There's still time to enter, if you think you can do better - Press photographer Frank Dwyer won't be picking the winner until the end of the month.
To join the Camera Club - now 506 members and counting - just visit The Press Camera Club page on Facebook. Then get snapping...
