Day 293 - Not to be confused with yesterday's picture of a sweet chestnut, this one is the horse chestnut - conkers!

A source of entertainment for many a kid! My brother grew a conked tree in our back garden as a kid. I believe it’s still there.

Great focus in this and I like the bokeh, too.

These really fascinate me! Great shot!

Yay, loved conkers as a kid. Lots of fun and bruised knuckles!
