Horse Chestnuts Year 3 #ThursdayTreeLove

On the second and fourth Thursdays of the month, I join in with Parul of Happiness and Food and other tree loving bloggers from all over the world for #ThursdayTreeLove.

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?

    Chestnut trees are sure colorful in fall or a lease in my neck of woods.

    I 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.

    Thank you for joining. You are a pillar of support for Thursday Tree Love!
