That old chestnut

When we took the dogs for a walk yesterday, there is on the side of the road about a dozen chestnut trees. The chestnuts are such a lovely glossy brown, and the cases so sharp and spiky. I brought some back home with me.

Oh, help - thought this was ears with hair tufts! Rather nice to know its not!

Gorgeous - you can almost feel the spikes! (Also glad it isn't a tufty ear!!)

[Merrelyn]

Nicely done :)

Great details on the spikes and chestnuts. I like the black and white processing.
