It’s that time of year…

Driving through the next village to us I noticed they have some beautiful Horse Chestnut trees & I stopped off today to pick up a few Conkers. They make a good still life.

@beverley365 I do, but I don’t think it’s really a “thing” these days. H&S probably decree that it’s too dangerous 😜

You call them conkers but in the colonies, we call them Buckeyes. As a matter of fact, Ohio State University's mascot is the Buckeyes.
