Don't look now, but I think they are watching us... here in Halesowen.
Continuing the brief cattle theme, here in Great Malvern, Worcestershire, for these beauties.

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

This week, we have more cute animal photos, lots of sunshine - and a bit of lightning.

You can be part of future galleries with your own photos of the area - upload your images via BBC Weather Watchers or email us at midlandstoday@bbc.co.uk.

For inspiration, view some top tips here from three of England's Big Picture photographers.
