Chesnut blossom

If there is a tree of my childhood, it would be chesnut, wild chesnut to be more precise, mostly in its autumn version... Now that I am pointing my camera all over and around I am discovering that chesnut blossom is even pretier than I thought with it's colorfull flower centers ranging from yellow to deep reed. And bees like them too! Have a nice weekend

@maree_sanderson @onewing @wendyfrost @alinz @randystreat, Thank you for lovely comments. @cathieg, Cathie, it is not easy to get them since the trees are usually huge, but this is quite a young tree and the flowers were reachable...
