Some conkers I picked up recently, when snapping a 365 picture. The outer casings have now turned brown, which I quite like. I know the leaf is a bit of an interloper & is from a differnt tree, but it had blown in the conservatory door & I thought why not use it as a contrast to the dark conkers.
Nice on black.
I was wondering how you ended up with conkers from a maple tree! I do love the things. Loved playing the game with knotted strings as a kid. Always loved the shininess of the conker and the prickliness of its case.
@louannwarren Conkers are what we call the fruit of the Horse Chestnut tree, it’s most probably slang! Lol
Thanks everyone for your comments & favs & for getting this to the pp.
