Kesu Sammy took this image of a friend's dog in Redbourn last Saturday.
The St Albans resident snapped the two-year-old Springer Spaniel called Jack and we have chosen it as our picture of the week.
Pictured below is our runner up, Nicole Huddleston - who took this image in London Colney opposite the Green Dragon pub. She was out walking her new Vizsla puppy at the time.
Annie Lightfoot also sent in the below images of the glorious sunshine in St Albans last week.
We would love to receive pictures of local scenes, wildlife and events from our readers.
Send them to charlotte.ikonen@london.newsquest.co.uk. Please include your name, address and a brief description of the picture.
