I've blogged about horse chestnuts before, but I never lose my fascination with them. This is my third annual Thursday Tree Love post about them.
They are a little bit past peak - I took these pictures several days ago.
The trees get huge. It's hard to see the scale of how big these are. They've been cultivated for hundreds of years, too, in Great Britain and other parts of Europe before being brought to the New World.
Perhaps this gives you an idea?
These trees bring back so many childhood memories for my spouse, playing a game called conkers.
Do they for you?
Third annual? Wow, they must be a favorite.
ReplyDeleteChestnut trees are sure colorful in fall or a lease in my neck of woods.

Grand old tree and very majestic! The flowers look lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind seeing the many Horse Chestnuts. I have never seen them in real so your pictures are as close I as I can get. Tell me more about that game. Never heard of that, Alana.
