Conker

Horse chestnut leaves have turned autumn colours & the winds have brought some of the conkers down. There is a community tree outside my front door. But I always have a look at trees when out for my walks.

It is a positive memory of visiting the same tree as you did as a kid and looking for conkers just like you did with Dad.

Love the texture of the shell to the smooth beautiful reds-browns of the conker. The variations of colours as well as sizes, shapes & how some have two in a shell.

Not yet opened this one to see the size & shape. Have also collected some from out front before they are crushed by the cars.
