Images of Northern Ireland's most beautiful places have gone on display at RSPB NI's photography exhibition 'Nature's Hotspots'.
The exhibition is the culmination of a competition that aimed to raise awareness of the importance of NI's most valuable wildlife areas, known as ASSIs (Areas of Special Scientific Interest).
Of the winners, my favourite is this picture of a young fox yawning on a summer's day taken by Jack Hughes from Belfast, which won the wildlife category. Other winners were Warren McConnaughie, Andrew Mulholland and Dr Domhnall Brannigan.
And if this has inspired you to pick up your camera, don't forget Farmers Weekly's Photography Competition 2009 opened yesterday.
