Well, I had so many comments and questions about my Conker photos that I decided I should shoot some of these beauties.

Horse Chestnuts..as Americans call Sweet Chestnuts, the edible ones :) But mind that outer case ;)

Hey Bonnie,
Makes me wonder why they are called horse chestnuts, must be a spiky experience for a horse, (~8
Hope you didn't hurt yourself while composing, 8~)
Beautiful photograph,

Thanks for sharing
Warm♥regards

Yeah! You out-conkered the conkers here! They remind me of sea urchins. This is a handsome still life, Bonnie.

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

Really great, and I KNOW we don't have anything nearly this exotic in the U.S. !

Wow this is an awesome image. Never seen one of these (well before being put into a jar). They look incredible. Great shot! Love the framing too.

Would you believe that I have just realised I put Horse on here in error, I meant to put Sweet.
Too many images of conkers and my illness kicking in ><
Sorry..it's a Chestnut from a sweet chestnut tree, not a Horse chestnut. *sigh*
