23 September Conker drop

Having said about having lovely weather....today was grey and wet. So back to the Horse Chestnut tree for some inspiration.........

[Constance Brinkley]

You and Andy has captured the Horse Chestnut beautifully. Love this view with the water dripping off. Great shot.

[Louise & Ken]

Yes, because of the photos you and Andy have posted, I'm thinking this is a British tree... Are they good for anything after they drop? They're quite a pretty surprise within that spiny exterior!

[Tanya]

The bokeh background looks like a pattern on material and the conker is so clear...what a great shot!

[bruni]

This one is almost ready to drop. would they look nice as a fall ornament if you would put a few on display?????

[Cherrill]

@bruni they look lovely for a while then the dry and go wrinkly indoors. Much like myself!! lol

[FaerieMoon]

These are so bizarre and cool-looking! What a beautiful photo too--the raindrops add so much to it. Nice job.

[Gail]

They're wonderful trees and this one is no exception!

[Gail]

I meant to add - but clicked reply too soon - I love this macro shot. You've done it really well Cherrill.

[Diana Moss]

Lovely shot Cherrill

[Diana Moss]

thankyou for your comment Cerrill and also for letting me know about the popular page

[Della]

so pretty!

[andy c]

Looks like the jaws of a snake or giant alien insect grabbing a brown ball... lol... good shot

[Isla Wight]

Great detail on the conker with its drips;.

[Lori Rompolski]

this is fantastic, love the water, love the color of the chestnut, love everything about it

[Louise & Ken]

I absolutely *love* that you created garden art out of these! I once created a piece of garden art in a class, the notion being that in time it would disintegrate (and become all-the-more charming looking!) Sounds as though these will be with you for some time...worth the effort!

[bruni]

Cherril..I often save items I like to keep by spraying them with hairspray.

[Steve Harvey]

this is so great!

[Frances A Robinson]

Love it! What wonderful focus!

[Marinade Spatula]
