This horse was having a nosey in Northwick, Worcestershire.
We're not sure what is going on here, but it looks impressive Penny! Taken in Church Stretton, Shropshire.

We love to feature your photographs showing the beauty of the West Midlands in all kinds of ways.

This week, we had a mixed bag of weather from clear blue skies to thick grey clouds accompanied by thunder and lightening.
