Somerset in Pictures: Sunrises and a lunar eclipse
Stargazers in Somerset woke up to a rare partial lunar eclipse on Friday morning.
Meanwhile, spring is springing across the county, with trees blossoming and people flocking to the beaches.
Take a look at some of the best pictures across Somerset this week.
Purple sky: Somerset photographer Matt captured this beautiful night sky above the Stanton Drew Stone Circles.
Early sunrise: As spring is springing, the sun is rising earlier and turning the sky pink and orange.
Beach days: Last weekend saw people flock to the beach in Weston-super-Mare, as they enjoyed the warmer weather.
In bloom: More springtime views were captured in Blue Anchor as apple trees are starting to bloom.
Support dog: Anne Herbert, a senior law lecturer at Bath Spa University, has Ehlers Danlos syndrome, which gives her skeletal instability. Without support dog Rafa, his owner may well be facing life in a wheelchair.

Saturday, May 10th Forecast: Sunny and 70 stays for Mother's Day. Rain on the way
It sure will be hard to complain about the weather today. I say it all the time, my ideal forecast is sunny and 70. That's what we were blessed with for Friday. It's what we will be blessed with for this Mother's Day weekend. Going to be a sunny Saturday with just a handful of high clouds thrown into the mix. Temperatures for everyone should easily climb into the low 70s with warmer temperatures to the south. Mother's Day has the potential to be warmer as highs will flirt closer to the 80s, but we will manage to come up short. Additionally, there will be noticeably more clouds in the sky for Sunday, but rain will hold off here in Springfield. There's a slight chance of rain occurring in Northern Arkansas and South Central Missouri Sunday evening. Totals will be rather light and mostly hit or miss. I wouldn't let it ruin any Mother's Day plans you have put into place. Rainfall chances should pick up on Monday thanks to a low-pressure system sliding to our south. Scattered showers will take place. You may hear a rumble of thunder, but severe weather holds off until it returns to end the week. Jamie and Matt breakdown upcoming severe weather chances For more details on what to expect, click to watch the video above. After Monday's rain, a summer feel pumps into the Ozarks. In the middle of next week, we will be fighting through both heat and humidity as I am expecting us to experience the warmest temperatures we have felt so far in 2025.
