This photo was taken a few years ago in summer and I'd forgotten I'd taken it.

You've all seen the Conkers I shot..well here is the tree they come from! If you look closely you can see tall white stems of flowers which we often call the 'candles', blooming on this summer tree.

I chose this soft, oval presentation as the rest of the hedgerow on that path in summer is a bit bland....although it is the same hedgerow that now holds the blackberries in my image BerryBerry :)

Hey...another one with space on the left for icons. I love that. Not only that, but that's a picture of a "Buckeye" tree. I know you call the horse chestnuts "Conkers," I guess because if you are under the tree very long, you will get "conked" on the head by a falling chestnut. Very nice desktop again.

Great work here. I love the prospective and colours, so clear and crip. Thanks for sharing and stuff.

That's a very large tree and I do see the many candles. I like your soft treatment and it makes a really fine DT.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
