Prickly!

Day 279 - I love these prickly outer shells of conkers, I find them more interesting than the actual conkers - it must be my age!

Interesting photo of the outer layer of a Conker, nice detail.

Nice photo, I always think they look like little sea urchins but I don't think you'll find a conker it looks like a sweet chestnut to me lovely roasted. 😊

Very cool.... great colour and texture.

Lovely shot. I don't think there are many pets prepared to get too close to those spikes.

@tonygig Thank you 😊
@chrisiow I agree they do look like a sea urchin, and having now googled it I agree definitely sweet chestnut - thank you 😊
@kwind Thank you 😊
@sangwann Thank you, I agree Natures built in a deterrent against the insides being eaten 😊
